Joshua Starwalker is a Legendary Jedi Master, who fought for the Jedi Order and became a General in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars against the Confederacy of Independent Systems; Joshua played a vital role during the time known as Darth Bane's Reckoning; Joshua survived Order 66 and became involved in one of the earliest conflicts against the Empire; Joshua Starwalker would later become a Rebel Leader during the final days of the Empire and help bring about the end of the Empire; following this Joshua Starwalker became the first king of Tatooine. He is the second born son of the Kiffar Guardian, Jaster Mereel and Korun Ambassador, Leilamiochi Starwalker. Joshua Starwalker along with his older brother Elijah Starwalker and their elder cousin Bobby Stormwalker became one of the most renown and respected Jedi of all time; and as such created a legendary Jedi Dynasty. Joshua's greatest feat was wining the Clone Wars for the republic as he defeated his former Master Darth Tyranus and General Grievous, becoming intergalacticly known as "The God of War".

Early life
Joshua Starwalker was born in 54BBY on the home world of Nabbo. Years after he was found to have had great balance with the force much like his brother Elijah and cousin Bobby before him. Joshua was taken back to the Jedi temple on the planet Coruscant by the Jedi master Yoda to become his pre-Padawan learner. When he came of age (13 years old) he was taken under tutelage of one of the greatest Jedi Masters Count Dooku and became his 3rd Padawan learner. Under Dooku he learned how to be one with the force, that the lightsaber is an extension of your arm and the secrets that Master Yoda taught Dooku when he was his Padawan. He also taught Joshua that your mind and your very being must be in sync, as well as his frequent phrase “Your light saber is your life, lose it and you’ll lose that as well”. The training was hard and intense it lasted 5 years and Josh went on countless missions with Dooku as his Padawan, and eventually Josh began to look to Dooku as a father rather than a master. However Josh knew that he could not be a Padawan forever and did the Jedi Trails to prove him-self worthy of knighthood despite Dooku urging him not to frequently saying “Your, simply not ready”, but after the Battle of Galidraan Joshua knew he was.

Jedi Knight
Joshua did pass the trails and soon after him, Elijah, Bobby, Master Yoda, and Master Yaddle were sent to the planet Mawan to settle a devastating civil war between three crime gangs, led by Decca the Hutt, Feena Shaan, and a man called Striker. Striker turned out to be Grant Omega in disguise and the group of Jedi are captured by him, he then released a fatal chemical weapon that killed Yaddle after she absorbed it through the force, saving the city of Naatan in the process. Yaddle’s sacrifice along with Joshua, Elijah, Bobby, and Yoda together brought peace to the world of Mawan but Elijah felt responsible for the death of the council member. The 3 cousins would go on two more missions together before Joshua went to visit his mother on Tatoonie; the planet which Joshua was raised on. After visiting his mother for the first time in 18 years he was ambushed by a foe unknown to him. The villain revealed himself as “Darth Maul, Dark Lord Of the Sith” and showed that his red crystal saber was in fact double edged. Maul was the hardest opponent he had ever faced and quickly obtained the advantage and almost won the battle. However Elijah and Bobby saved Josh and ran him off after a brief duel. But Josh was not about to give up the fight and followed Maul to Nabbo in his star-cruiser by himself; Bobby and Elijah then followed them to Naboo. As they arrived Josh was already having his rematch with Maul and with Josh being underestimated, quickly took the advantage. Then Maul got more careful and it evened up. Until Maul pushed Joshua into the reactor shaft, and kicked Josh’s lightsaber into the reactor pit. With Josh hanging on an input nozzle all seemed hopeless until Bobby came and passed Josh, whom was now force-jumping from the nozzle to the main platform, his lightsaber then the duel commenced with Josh asking what he missed. In the course of the furious lightsaber duel, Josh cut the double-bladed lightsaber in Half and impaled Maul with the two pieces and then cut him in half with Bobby’s saber and kicked him down The ReactorPit; effectively ending the Darth Maul threat.

Clone Wars
A few years later the Clone Wars began in the first battle of Geonosis. Joshua was asked to be a part of the Jedi Strike team that Master Mace Windu led to rescue, Master Kenobi, his Padawan Anakin Skywalker, and Senator Pademe Amidala on Geonosis. Joshua refused, given to his ideals and "Other Business" as well as his disbelief that his Master had fallen to the Darkside. Still, Josh’s close friend Satele Shan encounter the droid armies Alongside the 212 Jedi. During The time of the Separatist uprising, Josh had been working undercover setting up an elaborate network for spying on the CIS. Sometime after the battle of Geonosis, his flow of information to Coruscant stopped. Satele Shan was sent to investigate, since she would know him the best, as his former lover when they were Padawans. She found that Josh was very upset since he had known nothing Of the development on Geonosis. Josh informed her that he was very close to intercepting a certain disc that had valuable information concerning a pending attack on Kamino. They along with Anakin Skywalker’s future apprentice, Ahsoka Tano, managed to steal the information, although they put Ahsoka's life at risk. Shan Also learned then that Josh was beginning to get emotionally involved with Ahsoka. She did not make any Move to report this to the order but did warn Him not to get too attached. Josh then played a major part in the Clone Wars Infiltrated his former master’s inner circle under strict orders from Master Tholme Part of the Council.He provided valuable Information to the Republic. While undercover, he was forced to do things that would convince most of the Jedi he had joined, such as betraying Republic information at the Battle of Brentaal IV. Agen Kolar was sent to Shaddaa to bring Josh in once he learned of Josh's actions at Brentaal. Joshua escaped Kolar, but Tano was captured. Deep in a Coruscant prison, Tholme Offered Freedom in exchange for her cooperation in Contacting Josh. Meanwhile, Count Dooku played into Josh's darkside weakness and drew him "closer to the shadows", as Josh himself Described it, than he had ever been before. When Dooku took his acolytes to Kiffu to negotiate establishing a Separatist base on Kiffex, the Guardians refused. When the two sides attacked, Joshua tried to rescue his great-aunt, the Sheyf Tinté Vos, and killed acolyte Kadrian Sey in the process. Seeing Joshua's true intentions, Dooku went after and caught Joshua. Dooku hinted to Joshua that the Sheyf held a dark secret. He tempted Joshua to use the dark side to strengthen his psychometric powers so he could read the Sheyf's past. When Joshua did this, he discovered that Sheyf Tinté had sacrificed his parents to Anzati vampires as part of an unholy business deal. Joshua went into a blood rage and with a surge of dark side power, Joshua swung through his aunt with his lightsaber. Dooku now knew Joshua's conversion was no act. As a reward, and for his homicidal service to the Count and to signify Josh's now cemented position as one of Dooku's Dark Side Adepts, Tyranus gave Joshua the ancient crystal found inside an ancient holocron that Joshua successfully recovered. It once powered Darth Andeddu's blade and now it would power his own. By the next year, Josh was, along with Ventress one of Dooku's top assassins. He was, on one important occasion, given a mark by Dooku and told that this person would be at a high-class banquet on Coruscant, he implied that the mark was in fact the second sith, whom, unbeknownst to Josh, the Count knew Josh was obsessed with discovering and, possibly, eliminating. Josh jumped at the chance, as Dooku knew he would, and along with Tano, infiltrated the banquet disguised as a recently killed Kiffari general. Josh was told via holocomm when the mark was in front of him, but Josh saw both Supreme Chancellor Palpatine as well as Senator Viento. Josh decided that Viento was the most likely to be the target, as it was unthinkable that Palpatine could be the second sith, so he waited until later that night and broke into Viento's quarters to attempt the assassination, using his powers of self-concealment to hide his presence from the guard assigned to Viento, K'Kruhk. However, K'Kruhk had been keeping a watchful eye on Josh at the party and, even though he couldn't sense Josh at first, was aware of the fact that Viento may be in danger. Just as Josh ignited his lightsaber to kill Viento, K'Kruhk burst through the window and lunged for Josh. He was too late, however; Josh had already slashed Viento across the chest. After a brawl with the Whiphid in which both combatants were wounded, K'Kruhk more so than Josh, Josh escaped with Tano’s help. Angered and confused, he decided to return to Dooku to find some answers. Josh realized Viento could not have been the second sith as Josh would not have so easily been able to eliminate a Sith Lord and when he confronted Dooku about the Count's misleading him, Dooku seemed amused and stated that he never said that the mark was the second sith, seemingly taking pleasure in his own hidden awareness of Josh's obsession with rooting out the second sith. One month after recovering Andeddu’s holocron Josh returned to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, He made a recording about the Holocron and Dooku. Next on the Count's hit-list was the Twilek Kh'aris Fenn, a traitor to the Confederacy of Independent Systems,condemned For using the funds Dooku had supplied as a Means to aid the Separatists for the Twilek’s Own needs. Was executed by Josh for his treachery, with each murder further immersing himself in the Dark Side. By this time, most Jedi, with the exception of Tholme and perhaps Shan to some extent, were convinced that the Kiffar had surrendered to the dark side. But Josh escaped Dooku's grasp; on the planet Honoghr, Satele Shan and clone trooper commander Jace were trying to find an SIP(Scientific Information Packet) disk containing evidence of The Separatists contaminating the planet. Josh Met them, and told Shan he had not really turned to the dark side. He helped them recover the disk, but then threatened to kill Shan if she did not give it up. He revealed his true intentions in joining the Separatists: to find out the identity of the Second Sith and kill him to end the War. Shan forced Josh to see the light by saying he could kill her or return to Coruscant with her, if there was any good left in him. Josh almost agreed, but fled after Jace shot him. This convinced Shan that Joshua Starwalker was not totally lost. Months later, Josh met Obi-Wan Kenobi on the derelict spaceship Titavian IV, and they found themselves on opposite sides. But by helping him escape Ventress and Tol Skorr, managed to convince Kenobi that he still served the Republic. In the ensuing skirmish, Skorr told Josh that he knew of his duplicity from the start. Trying to escape the ship, Kenobi proposed that one of them retrieve the Skorp-Ion with his starfighter so they'd both escape. Josh volunteered to hold off the Dark Jedi but Kenobi knew he was injured so Josh took the fighter. He managed to repair the Ion and then destroyed Kenobi’s starfighter to prevent Skorr from getting his hands on it. He then disabled's Skorr’s ship and the two jumped to the Rendili system. Bobby had Joshua imprisoned to await trial. However during an ensuring battle power to the prison hold was lost, so Josh escaped to take a starfighter to assist the Republic. He helped Kenobi board the lead Rendili Ship to rescue Dallin Dodonna. When he returned to Coruscant managed to convince the Jedi Council of Reconciliation of his intentions. Josh was given time to recuperate and then served as a General. Soon after his role as a General was reinstated, he was once again reunited with his friend, Obi-Wan. After Ziro the Hutt escaped Republic prison with the help of Cad Bane and his posse at the discretion of the Hutt Grand Council, Joshua pursued across Coruscant skylanes, but Bane and Ziro escaped the Jedi on an airspeeder and made it to the bounty hunter's ship. Josh and Kenobi were then assigned to find and apprehend the runaway Hutt. Kenobi thought that Jabba the Hutt still had it out for Ziro for the kidnapping of his son, but Josh believed Ziro had damaging evidence against the Hutt council. So they journeyed to Nal Hutta and spoke with Gardulla the Hutt. Although Josh seemed to be a little over confident, he used his telekinetic abilities and discovered the cup that Ziro had been drinking out of before. After visiting Ziro's mother, they eventually tracked the Hutt Teth. After discovering that someone already killed Ziro, Joshua and Obi-Wan proceeded to confront Cad Bane and his droid, Todo 360 Bane attempted to leave the planet. After a rather lengthy chase and fight, Bane was able to gain the upper hand. While the Jedi were occupied, the bounty hunter and his Droid escaped in Bane's starfighter, the Xanadu Blood. But Josh had not faced his demons yet; he Continued working for the Confederacy in a mad race to uncover the second Sith Lord. He read Viento’s corpse, determining that an Anzati responsible for Finis Valorum's death. He went to Dexter Jettster, who put out the word for assassin Saljé Tasha. After relieving her of her cortosis gauntlets, he used his reading, enhanced by his teachings from Dooku to determine her hirer. He saw the face of Separatist Jedi Sora Bulq, which he believed to Be the face of the second and the one who told Viento to hire Tasha. Tasha, bound to the Anzati Code of Honor, became determined to make Joshua "one of the silent voices, forever." Luckily, Tano hit the Anzati with her lightsaber before she could suck out his brain. As Tasha fled Tano’s saber throws, Josh blindly believed that He knew the Second Sith's identity and was determined to finish Bulq off himself, rather than tell Master Yoda. Josh was then asked to see Jedi Master Oppo Rancisis at the Jedi Temple. Master Ranciss showed Josh a message from Master Tholme on saleucami, telling them of the Anzati trained Morgukai Clone army Being cloned there. Josh said he could leave immediately for Saleucami and make Contact with Tholme. Ranciss tells him that the council will send battalions with Ranciss in charge of this mission. Ranciss wanted Josh to serve as his second in command due to his knowledge of both the Anzati and the Morgukai. Josh agreed to Master Ranciss's wishes. On Saleucami, Josh fought alongside Shan, as part of the forces led by Oppo Rancisis to prevent the Morgukai clones from leaving the planet. He had Ahsoka arrange a meeting with Sora Bulq. After a night together, Josh recorded into his holocron that he would kill The second Sith. Fighting a false battle against Skorr he was taken to Bulq, who was communicating to Dooku. Joshua was ordered to kill Tholme, even if it meant compromising his position. He found the Master over a lava ridge. Josh begged him to join in destroying Bulq. Tholme, however, knew Bulq was only a Dark and knew things wouldn't be right if Josh continued on in what he was doing. With the "whatever it takes" mindset, Joshua battled his former friend and sent him down into the lava. He returned to the fortress to find that Rancisis had been killed. Though the other suspected Bulq, Master Jeisel felt that Josh had done it. Josh, however, proved that he didn't. Because of Rancisis's death, Josh was placed in overall Command of the Republic forces on the battle.To Ensure that the siege would be a success, Josh "read" Rancisis's corpse to determine his plans, as he hadn't shared them. Infiltrating the Separatist base, Josh sent Shan off to set Charges on the thermo generators. He then met Skorr, Bok, Bulq and Dooku (via hologram). He claimed to have read Rancisis's corpse to learn his plans. He claimed that Shan was sent to the shield generators and Bok was sent to get his revenge. But Dooku showed him one last thing...Ahsoka. The CIS leader revealed that Ahsoka had become a dark Jedi and double agent sent to infiltrate the spy ring. She was ordered to gain Joshua’s sympathy, and confidence, including making Josh think she loved him. Ashoka confessed that some of that was true but she soon fell in love with him for real. Josh was faced with the choice of murdering Ashoka or not. She pleaded with him to look in her heart and know the truth. He cupped her face in his hands, looked in her eyes and passionately kissed her. He then sliced her chains with his lightsaber proclaiming “No more games, Lord Tyranus No more pretending. I know who I am. I've made my choice. My name is Joshua Starwalker and I am a Jedi". As he was surrounded by Dark Jedi and Anzati, help came from an unexpected source...Tholme. He with drew from the force and waited to see if Josh chose the right path. Better than that, Bok didn't find Shan; Josh lied, she was sabotaging the generators. Coming close to the darkside, Shan communicated with her former lover through the Force to bring him into the light. Josh battled against Skorr, Tholme against Bulq, Ashoka against Anzati. Skorr revealed there is no second Sith, the Count played him for a fool. In anger, Josh force pushed Skorr into the fiery lava. He proceeded to save Tholme. All the while, Dooku taunted him to giving into the dark side while Tholme pleaded him not to fight with anger. Sora Bulq proceeded to engage Josh in a duel in Vaapad to force the issue. Josh’s mastery of Vaapad was very little, learning only the basics from his cousin Bobby on the matter. However he remembered his cousin telling him "Form seven is very aggressive, Josh. It can take the user very close to the dark side and you, frankly, sometimes walk too close there as it is." In fact Josh did indeed open to the Dark Side, and deep in Josh's inner spirit, he was facing against his most powerful opponent himself, saying that he was the hidden Second Sith. Shan, who had defeated Bok, and Tholme joined together to remind Joshua of the light. Sora Bulq proceeded to duel Josh using Vaapad, with the belief that the flow of light and dark in the lightsaber form would cause Josh to fall to the Dark Side. Bulq had believed he perfected the power of Vaapad through the direct application of the dark side. Josh in order to combat the furious technique, gave himself over completely to Vaapad, and in turn accepted and embraced the full fury of his opponent, and transformed his anger into a superconducting loop, connecting Bulq's hatred with his own inner darkness, which passed in and out and through him, which he then channeled back towards Bulq's. Josh finally mastered the flow of light and dark, he had a strange calmness as Bulq raised his saber for the killing. Suddenly, Josh turned around and struck down across his torso, showing his level of mastery of Vaapad over its co-creator-Josh remained a Jedi while Sora Bulq and Depa Billaba fell. Joshua then chose to spare Bulq proclaiming “I’ve done enough killing.” Count Dooku then appears and kills Bulq while repling “this victory means nothing”. Tholme then stated that he lost, as all who serve the Dark side do. Josh and Dooku then briefly engage each other in combat but the fight is cut short when Joshua’s left hand is cut off. However before the battle can continue the 4 Jedi and the dark lord Have to escape the base just as the Republic Fleet bombarded the place. As the Generals Departed to other places, Josh agreed to lead a Battalion on Boz Pity, also having earned back Jeisel's respect. Shortly before he was rotated out of Saleucami, he had a short discussion with Masters Sian Jeisel, K'Kruhk, and Shan. They Talked about their next destinations, with Josh going to Boz Pity, Shan to Felucia to help Barriss Offee, and Jeisel and K'Kruhk to Mygeeto, to assist Jedi Master Ki-Adi Mundi. They parted With camaraderie, with K'Kruhk promising that he would meet Josh again when the war was over.

General of the Republic
After getting a new cybernetic hand General Joshua took his troops to Boz Pity for the final fight against Dooku. Upon Joshua’s arrival in Boz Pity’s orbital system he witnessed Bobby who had taken command of the Gold Squadron shoot Down the Invisible hand. Bobby then ordered Josh and his team to inspect the damaged vessel. After landing on Boz Pity he and his team joined his brother Elijah who was now a high general and merged into his army creating a massive Battalion, they laid siege of the damaged Invisible hand, which was General Grievous’s flagship. After heavy casualties on Droid and Clone sides alike only 3 remained, Joshua, Elijah, and Count Dooku. However Elijah and Joshua get separated amidst the carnage and few remaining Droids. When Elijah next finds Joshua he is battling Dooku and losing. Elijah tells Joshua to calm down and fight strategically, but Josh immediately pays no heed to Elijah’s advice and rushes his former Master again, it was on. The master and the apprentice in a final duel to decide who chose the right path. At first Dooku was just toying with Josh and then soon grew tired of what he deemed a “feeble fight” accusing Joshua of not using his full potential. Dooku then effectively ended his fight with Joshua blasting him with a bolt of sith lightning. As Dooku is about to make the kill, Elijah saves Joshua and he and Dooku began battling it out. Dooku’s superior saber skills bested Elijah, and now the dark count was prepared to kill him. Just then Joshua gets up and tries stabbing Dooku in the back using force cloak. However Dooku sensed this and deflected Josh’s attack. Josh yelled “I know All your moves, you are going to pay for all the killing you caused!” as he readied another attack. Dooku then stated “No you fool, I know all yours” as he deflected Josh’s attack and called Joshua’s dueling appalling. Josh then changed his form of fighting to Vappad. The duel was intense and overwhelming, the angrier Josh got about his master’s fall and Dooku’s continuous persuading of turning to the dark side, the better he fought. Until Josh finally matched Dooku’s lightsaber skill level and defeated him. Josh was on the edge of the dark side, his next Move would decide his very fate, all he had to do was avenge the death of his master Dooku and kill Darth Tryanus. However Joshua decided that it was not the Jedi way and proceed to knock Darth Tryanus unconscious hitting him with the hilt of his saber. “I thought I almost lost you back there” Elijah said. Josh then joked “are you kiddin’ me I’m just getting the hang of this”. Soon after Tryanus regained consciousness and quickly regained his lightsaber from the distracted Jedi. He then force pushed Joshua into a wall and prepared to battle Elijah once more however Yoda arrived on the scene and asked Elijah to save chancellor Palpatine, who had been captured prior to the Invisible Hand’s escape on Coruscant. Tyranus then stated “What a reunion this is my former master, and my former padawan, all that we need is Qui-Gon Jinn and this would be a real party...anyway good-by my master, we shall all die together” just as Darth Tyranus said that he hit the self-destruct button. They ingested in as lightsaber duel that seemed even until Yoda delivers a powerful force blast and Yoda is winning. However before Yoda could finish his former padawan he is distracted by a powerful force vision in which He saw the burning of the Jedi Temple. Darth Tyranus then took this brief moment and proceed to blast Yoda with Sith lightning. Yoda unable to react in time fell to the ground in pain. Josh then came and blocked the lightning with his saber helping up the wounded Yoda at the same time. The two then battled the saber master in unison and in a coordinated matter, until Darth Tyranus puts a force grip on Yoda and kicks Joshua. He then force pushed Yoda into a wall and pressed a block of concrete from the walk way against him. When Josh gets up he engages Darth Tyranus in another battle to stop him from crushing Yoda. Josh is then defeated by Tryanus and he gives Josh one last opportunity to join him and become his apprentice once more. Tryanus then told Josh that all he had to do was to kill the wounded Yoda and prove his allegiance. Joshua force grabs the block fromTyranus and says “sorry but my master died the Day you were born” he then proceeds to hit Tryanus with the large block. Joshua then states that he will never be like Tryanus and Tryranus responds “you already are then breaks him-self free and the battle once again commences.

The God of War
The battle soon reaches its peak with any case of error it would be over. Each step was calculated perfectly until the machine told them the ship was exploding in 2 minutes. At this time both fighters went in for the kill and swung wildly. Tryranus made one wrong move by jumping in the air getting decapitated upon his landing. With Tryanus out of the way the war all but seemed over, but the killer General Grevious who Joshua now deemed the second sith was still alive. Without time to contemplate his next move, Joshua went to rescue Yoda. He and Yoda narrowly escaped the explosion of the invisible hand and Joshua’s left arm was lightly burned. However he was still able to get Yoda to his Starcruiser and pilot the ship. As they are about to take off Joshua asks his Grandmaster where he would like to go, to which Yoda tells him Courscant. When they got to Courscant Joshua saw to it that Yoda was sent to the medical unit, and then went to discuss the events of the battle with Tryanus with the Council. Yoda had a few broken ribs but was ultimately fine and soon returned to his duties on the Council. A week later Chancellor Palpatine told Anakin Clone Intelligence has located General Grievous hiding in the Utapau system, Anakin relays the information about Grievous, explaining that a partial message was intercepted in a diplomatic packet from the Chairman of Utapau. Yoda says they should act quick and decisively on this information. When Anakin expresses his interest in going to Utapau at Palpatine's request, Mace harshly tells him that the Council will decide who goes and not the Chancellor. Yoda believes that a Knight with more experience is needed to confront, and defeat, Grievous. Ki-Adi-Mundi agrees and nominates Joshua to go. With the nomination agreed on, the Council adjourns and Joshua prepares to go to Utapau. However before he goes, Joshua confronted Yoda telling him about how he almost fell to the dark side during his fight and the undercover assignment. He then told Yoda that he should send Anakin for the mission and expel him from the order, sending him into exile. Yoda told him that all of Josh’s battles with Tyranus, Tyranus’s acolytes, and countless droids, along with his constant refusal to turn to the dark side have made him stronger and worthy of the title master. Josh then states that he is honored by Yoda’s words but nonetheless feels responsible for Dooku’s fall. Yoda told Joshua that he is not to blame for Doouk’s turn to the dark side and stated that if anybody should be exiled it was himself because he failed in the training of Dooku. However Joshua insisted that if he had not left Dooku’s apprenticeship when he did Dooku would still be alive. Yoda then reassured Joshua that he left when he was supposed to and that if he had stayed Joshua might have fallen. Yoda then gave Joshua Dooku’s saber, Joshua accepted it with honor. With Joshua’s burden lifted he was ready to put an end to the Clone Wars once and for all and left for Utapau. Landing on the planet he was overwhelmed by droids, but managed to kill everyone of them. Joshua then traveled to the city finding a wild varactyl. Josh then used a power he had learned from Tryanus and tamed the animal and bended it to his will, he then rode the varactyl finding it easier to maneuver around. Not long after Josh found General Grevious, who immediately started running away. Joshua followed in pursuit of the deadly general and ran right into his trap. Grevious then confronts the captured Joshua revealing his status as the New Head of State of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Grevious then states “The Jedi disgrace me with your presence. Where is Yoda, or Bobby, or even Elijah, none of them would have fallen into this trap.” “Well I was good enough to kill your master Tryanus, you shouldn’t be so hard.” Joshua fired back. Grevious then walked away while Josh shouted “Coward, you know you can’t beat me.”Grevious then turned back, released Joshua from his binds, gave Josh back his lightsaber, Grevious then took off his cape, and revealed his two other robotic limbs that were equally equipped with lightsabers. They then engaged one another in battle; the battle had its turning points, and intensity, however the battle soon reached it’s peak as Joshua disarms Grevious by cutting off Grevious arms then the next, and the next, and the next. With Grevious disarmed Joshua proceeds to cut of his head. When Grevious was discovered to still be amongst the living, Joshua stabbed Grevious in the heart and Grevious then exploded with a huge fire and into a pile of parts. Joshua had finally ended the Clone Wars. After the news was sent to Courscant, Grandmaster Yoda sent out a Universal Holocomm saying to all the Jedi and clones around the Galaxy the Clone Wars had officially come to an end.

Universal Peace
Joshua’s honor to his duty, and ending of the War earned him the title of Master but he declined to be on the High Council feeling he was not ready to deal with the political duties that bestows on a Council member. However, Joshua then learned that Ashoka Tano was pregnant with his child. Joshua then intended to Leave the Order, with her. For that short time the Universe had peace, but like all good things this too came to an abrupt end as a new evil was Upon it...Darth Bane’s Reckoning.

Darth Bane's Reckoning
When Joshua found out he was wrong about General Grevious being the second sith. He sent the pregnant Tano to her home world of Shili, telling her that he couldn’t leave the Order while it still needed him and kissed her good-bye. However Joshua didn’t tell her, that his obsession to find and kill the second sith had resurfaced. Joshua then went to the Council and he self-revoked his title as master stating that he didn’t deserve it. The Council reluctantly accepted Joshua’s revoke and sent Joshua and Anakin to the planet Shili to deal with a resurrected Darth Plagueis. Joshua now realizing that he might have sent his wife and unborn child to their doom wasted no time in getting to the EliteX1 Starcrusier; Anakin was surprisingly in just as much of a rush as Joshua was. When they get to the planet they are disturbed to find that the cities, savannahs, and rainforest valley were completely deserted. They were about to alert the Council when they heard a scream from the mountains. Joshua thinking that it could be Ashoka, immediately took the EliteX1 almost leaving Skywalker behind. They then traveled to the mountains were they found the Togrutas Now as slave laborers, carving Plagueis’s face on the front-side of the mountain and Bane’s on the back. Upon seeing this Joshua whispers to himself “what have I done...”,something Anakin makes a mental note of and they land 200 meters away. They then snuck their way to Plagueis’s mountain and killed the battle droid guards. They then started a rebellion throughout the mountain. Joshua took this distraction to separate himself from Anakin to look for Ashoka. After 5 minutes of searching he found her being whipped by a droid guard and in a fit of rage stabbed the droid in the throat. Josh then tended to his woman’s wounds and kissed her desperately, then told her to run and hide in the rainforest. An angry Josh then regrouped with Anakin and they make it to Plagueis’s tower. They stormed the tower and fought their way to the main chambers where they were shocked to see Shaak Ti’s body on the bed lifeless and naked. Josh then went after Anakin as he walked away. Josh asked Anakin “Hey, where are you going.” Anakin told Josh “I think I know where to find him” Anakin then led Joshua down a secret passageway. Josh asked Anakin “you know where to go? Anakin then revealed to Joshua saying “Master Kenobi and I used to make this our base when we were sent on missions here during the Clone Wars. The passageway lead to two paths, Joshua coming to the realization that Plagueis was likely at the end of one of these paths, chose to tell Anakin his true intentions of killing Plagueis. Anakin is noticeably disturbed by this news and tells Joshua that he cannot allow him to kill Plagueis. Joshua tries to explain to him saying “You don’t know what Plagueis could do if he ran free, which he would if he stood trail. Let us end it.” Anakin then tells him “it is not the Jedi way; we must deliver him to the Council so he can stand trial before the senate. Joshua feeling desperate to turn Anakin’s views to his side tells him the truth of his relationship with Anakin’s former padawan, and her pregnancy. Anakin although clearly flabbergasted says that he understands Joshua’s feelings and need of protecting his wife. Anakin then reveals to Josh that he is married to Senator Padmé Amidala and that he keeps seeing premonitions of his master’s death as well as his wife’s by the hands of a dark, shadowy figure, with a respirator. Joshua then pledges an oath to Anakin telling him “Anakin, if you help me in destroying this dark lord, I promise on my honor and on my life that I will help you bring down This villain you dream of, before any harm comes to Obi-Wan or your wife. Anakin then quietly and coldly states I don’t know if I can beat him, I don’t know if we can beat him. In my dreams I am not strong enough. I wasn’t strong enough to save my mother, but I will be strong enough to save them, I have to be, I need to be. I’m Sorry Joshua, but I need him. Joshua very harshly says “Fine I’ll do it myself and brandishes his lightsaber as he approaches one of the two paths. Anakin then brandishes his lightsaber and says “I’m sorry, I can’t let you do this” Josh ask Anakin not to turn against him, while Anakin tells Joshua that he is under arrest for betraying the Jedi Code and treason against the republic. Anakin and Joshua then engage each other in even combat until they both decide to see who is stronger in the force. As they are trying to force push one another they soon realize that they are equally matched and the both of them are force pushed down the path on their respective side. As Anakin flew down the tunnel he was greeted by 2004 battle droids and Ventress. When Joshua finished flinging down his tunnel he broke through a room. Inside that room Joshua saw Plagueis reading a book siting right next to the security cameras. Joshua didn’t hesitate to start battle, rushing Plagueis with blind rage. Plaugeis unsurprised and un-amused quickly bested Joshua. However a furious Joshua soon rose to do battle again swinging wildly. Plagueis defeats him although he almost was hit with Josh’s saber. Plagueis now a little amused stated “I’ll let you live. There is some quality in you” Plagueis then stabbed Joshua in the shoulder. Ventress then busted in dragging a bloody and badly shot Anakin. Plagueis extremely upset asks “What have I said about interrupting me” as he stabs Ventress in the heart. Plagueis looks at the wounded Anakin and tells him “What a disappointment you are. I expected much more from you”. Joshua screams to Plaugeis To save Anakin. Anakin focused on his premonitions is barely able to whisper “Save... them... help... me save them.” Plagueis asks what Joshua will give him in return for his friend’s life. Josh then pledges himself to a life of servitude to Plagueis. Plagueis laughs and heals the Jedi knight. Joshua then grabs his saber and tires to finish Plagueis. However Plagueis in a flash is behind Joshua and blasted him with sever force lighting. Anakin tried to help but was put under ruble after Plagueis clapped his hands sending a shock wave to the ceiling causing it to collapse. Plagueis then says “Now, lets make an example out of you two” Plagueis then places his hand over Anakin’s head and chants a spell from the book he was reading earlier in an unknown language. After the chant Plagueis told Anakin “return to Coruscant, and tell them Joshua has died and that you were able to kill me.”Plaugeis then gives Anakin one of his own lightsabers as proof of Anakin’s claim. As Anakin rises Plaugeis continues “Never trust anyone, not your loved ones, not even yourself. Now Go!” Anakin leaves and Plaugeis turns his attention to Joshua, and places his hand on Josh Plaugeis does his chant and proceeds to tell Joshua “I am your Master. You shall tell me what you regard as your strength, so I will know how best to undermine you. Tell me your greatest fear, so I will know what I must force you to face. Tell me what you crave most, so I might deny you. Tell me what you cherish most, so I know what to take from you.” “Yes, My Master”

Darth Menace
Joshua’s training started on Shili and spanned over Felucia, Mygeeto, Hypori, Buoyant and Kursid. Overtime Plagueis told Joshua what happened to him with his first apprentice Darth Sidious and how Sidious cowardly killed him in his sleep. Plagueis also told Joshua his Grand Plan for the future of the Sith, with the Sith no longer hinging on physical prowess but on political cunning. The new Sith will rule less by brute force than by means of instilling fear. Plagueis then elaborated telling Joshua, he envisioned himself as the "power behind the throne" while Joshua "carried out the Interests in the political domain, but only after they kill Sidious. Plagueis trained Josh harder than he trained Darth Sidious. However Plagueis also always kept a close eye on Joshua, vowing he would never be betrayed again. Joshua’s hatred grew stronger and stronger as days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months; he was like a puppet with no one to cut the strings. Almost all of what Plagueis asked for was realized; Joshua was afraid to be alone, Plagueis left Joshua alone for a week on the deserted and baron planet Hoth. Josh craved to see the Jedi Temple; he hadn’t seen it since he left with Anakin. The worst thing Plagueis did to Joshua was when Joshua was forced to tell Plagueis what he cherished most. Plagueis killed Ahsoka and brought Joshua the fetus with the umbilical cord still attached as proof. Joshua was overwhelmed with grief and sadness and embraced his Sith powers, force crushing everything around him as he held the fetus of what would have been his daughter. Plagueis with blood still soaked on his hands said to Joshua the same words he spoke to Sidious all those years ago: "If you don't already want to murder me, you will before I'm through with you. The urge to kill one's superior is intrinsic to the nature of our enterprise. My unassailable strength gives rise to your envy; my wisdom fuels your desire, my achievements incite your craving. Thus it has been for one-thousand years, and so it must endure until I have guided you to parity. Then, Joshua, we must do our best to sabotage the dynamic Darth Bane set in motion, because we will need each other if we are to realize our ultimate goals. In the end, there can be no secrets between us; no jealousy or mistrust. From us, the future of the Sith shall fountain...From Us.” Plaguies then stated to Joshua that his training was almost complete, and bestowed upon him the name of Darth Menace. Four days later Plagueis told Darth Menace his first assignment that would end his apprenticeship and make him a Dark Lord of the Sith, which was to kill a Jedi. Joshua was truly fighting it on the inside, but Plagueis Spell was too great to brake free. 12 Jedi were brought to Plagueis personal Victory Star Destroyer he called the Tenebrous, in honor of his master. Darth Menace had the first execution; his opponent had committed the highest degree of treason against the order... the death of Darth Bane. His opponent was his brother Elijah.

Brother vs Brother
Elijah saw Darth Menace, and babbled “wha...t.no it can’t be you...your...” Darth Menace just smirked, both were given shields and Darth Menace was given a red crystal lightsabersaber, while Elijah was given a vibrosword. All others then left the arena and Darth Plageuis shouted “Begin!” Darth Menace is still smiling when Elijah says “No it can’t be...” Elijah is then cut off by the roar of his brother screaming “ARRRAAA!!!!!” as he charged forward. The Ultimate Battle between Brothers had Begun. Darth Menace sung wildly and accurate only missing Elijah by the skin of his teeth then the fight stops. Elijah tells his brother through you have become this, I will not strike You down.” Darth Menace then throws down his Shield and calls for another Saber. A droid comes in and gives Menace the saber. Plagueis then commands Menace to kill Elijah, but strangely enough he didn’t. Menace then told Elijah to put down his shield, and then he gave Elijah the saber. Darth Menace gets into his new Sith stance and Elijah gets into position. The duel begins, clashing hard, neither Menace nor Elijah have an edge on each other. Each move is carefully made like a game of chess. Then Menace slips up, missing Elijah completely and almost gets hit with Elijah’s Saber. Menace then tries to blast Elijah with black sith lightening but missed and then they engaged in unarmed combat, to push the other as they struggle for advantage. Elijah won and pushed Menace to the far back wall across the room. Elijah then picked up his saber and stabbed Menace in the shoulder, but then Menace smiled and force grabbed his saber, and stabbed Elijah in the leg. They then broke away from each other, and then Plagueis used the force to heal his dark apprentice, Menace then gave Elijah ample time to heal himself, thus keeping it a fair fight. Elijah caught off guard by this act of kindness from a sith, almost Paid for it with his life. Soon after Elijah picked up Menace with the force but before he could crush Menace’s bones, Menace bolted Elijah with Black sith lightening, and busted out a huge laugh. He then suddenly stopped as Elijah grabs his saber and the battle continues. All of their attacks are deadly accurate and Elijah best Menace in the saber duel. He almost finishes Menace but Menace got the upper hand disarming Elijah and putting him in a full nelson. Menace then whispered something in Elijah’s ear and let him go. Menace then looked at Elijah and nodded. Elijah charged at Menace as Menace force grabbed Elijah’s shield and Elijah forced jumped from the shield and tried to stab Darth Plagueis. However he put a battle droid in front of him and ran. Plagueis looked to Menace, his apprentice put his thumb up, but then slowly turned it down and smirked. He then force jumped and broke the glass into the room Plagueis was in and the two engage in a furious battle that engulfs the Tenebrous with flames. As the battle wages on Darth Menace rebukes the name Plagueis gave him and proclaims “I am Joshua Starwalker, Jedi Master”.

Joshua Vs Darth Plagueis
With this self-fulfillment Joshua takes the upper hand and Plagueis unleashes his sorcery, but it was successfully deflected with Joshua’s new found powers. Plagueis then charged forward, as Joshua was ready to attack, the battle was twisting and turning. Joshua back kicking Plagueis, Plagueis punching Joshua in the face, then Josh caught Plagueis with a punch, knee, uppercut combo. Plagueis then staggered to his feet and claimed “The End is near” picked up his saber and started using it in a way Joshua had never thought possible.Plagueis was using the force to handle the saber with his mind. It was unreal, Josh was completely baffled by this and was easily caught off guard. Joshua and the Saber had an intense duel Joshua was almost caught several times. Holey and tattered he took off his shirt revealing his battle scars and increased his fighting mentality, thinking clearly and strategically. Joshua then beat the saber by force blasting Plagueis, who had already called an army of Battle Droids. Joshua now faced Plagueis scared and bruised, as Plagueis was bruised and bloody with his Transpirator mask deeply damaged. It was tension throughout the Spacecraft when the 2,000 Droids got there and all seemed lost. Just then the 11 Jedi that were freed by Elijah came to the rescue and fought fearlessly against the droids as Joshua went on to pursue the leaving Sith Lord. However, Joshua was tricked and walked right into a trap, resulting in him almost being force pushed into space. They then use the force on each other, but neither of them were winning the struggle and soon both went flying. Josh soon got up attempting to force choke Plagueis, Plagueis countered with force lightening. Plagueis then put a force choke on Josh, but he countered the counter with a saberthrow that landed In Plagueis’s chest. Joshua was released and soon got up and walked to Plagueis, with Plagueis saying “How...did...you break my hold over you”. Joshua answered him saying “well for a while you really did convert me to the Dark side. But you went too far when you...killed my wife and child. It didn’t bring me hatred or anger...that...That just brought me eternal sadness and sorrow, my sanity quickly came back to me, but I wanted to die. I wanted my brother to kill me in that arena. But not before I killed you. Not before you atone for your malicious actions. Not until my family can rest in peace while you rot on this ship dead and decomposing. Plagueis then starts chanting an ancient spell and tells Joshua that it is the spell for Resurrection. Joshua just looks at Plagueis eyes squinting and cold, knowing that Plagueis’s words are false and tells him so. Plagueis then chuckles and says I taught You well. With Joshua responding “Yeah. Too well.” as he cuts off Plagueis’s head with Plagueis’s saber, saying “For my daughter”. The battle had taken a tremendous toll on the Tenebrous and it was 10 seconds away from blowing up. Joshua checked the main computer that informed him that there was luckily one escape pod left. However the pod was across the ship, Joshua then used all of what is left of his force powers to get there.

Finding a Padawan and New Love
After arriving Joshua passed out from the bleeding and the pod went to autopilot. The pod landed on the planet Motrin, where he was captured by the new motrinian king Batiatus, Batiatus’s Father Tiberius Batiatus was a peaceful king and remained neutral in the Clone Wars. However Batiatus the II ruled with an iron fist and turned the government to a totalitarian dictatorship. Joshua was just awaking when he Noticed he was captured. He was just about to Brake himself free until the king busted in the medical ward. Joshua then decided to pretend to be helpless as the king told Josh who he was and the planet Joshua had landed on. Batiatus informed Joshua that he knew Joshua was a Jedi and that he personally saw that his finest doctors to save Josh Batiatus claimed that Josh owed him a debt which could only be fulfilled if Josh becomes his body guard. Joshua declined and broke himself free with the force. Joshua then said “Thanks for the help man” and left. Josh soon found himself in the middle of nowhere and was neutralized by a woman named Juno Eclipse, who is a former Separatists officer, who left the servitude of the Sith upon learning of Darth Sidious’s Grand Plan. She dragged his unconscious body to the rebel base center. When Joshua was reawakened he found himself yet again in containment this time in a prison cell. Joshua was later escorted into an interrogation room. He was then interrogated by the rebel leader and Juno. Over the course of the interrogation, they reviled that they were rebels fighting a war with the king, and that they captured him because they saw Joshua come from the king’s gates. They also revealed their names Juno and Hugo. The rebel leader fifteen year old son came into the room and proclaimed “We were victorious defending the fort father” Joshua then spoke for the first time since the interrogation began and asked “How many Were lost” the boy then sadly and softly voiced “Half”. Joshua then gave a long sigh and told them that they need to be better trained. He then looked to the boy and told him “especially you, your full potential isn’t being realized”. Joshua Then turned to the rebel leader and told him I would like to train your son. Hugo laughed and said “Do you expect me to believe that, if it was true you would have escaped this holding ground. Joshua then broke his restraints and lightly force pushed Hugo against the wall and said “what do you think now” and then let him go. Joshua goes over to the boy and asked who was your mother boy replied Shea of Cerea and then revealed Hugo was his adoptive father and that his real father was Jedi master Ki-Adi Mundi shocked Josh asked the boy what his name is “Eemilanko” was the reply. He then told Eemilanko that he would be his master and teach him the ways of the force. As they left the room Hugo gets up from the ground with the help of Juno and she is thanked with a back-hand smack to the floor. Hugo then asks her “Why did you do nothing to help me, you just let him...” and then starts to beat her again. He then tells her “you let him embarrass me...now I will embarrass you” Hugo then raped Juno and told her that if she told the Jedi or anyone else he raped her, he would take their daughter Jana away from Juno permanently. Juno then runs out the building clothes torn and tears in her eyes. Joshua seeing this stops the training for today and follows her to her cabin and through the window sees her holding her little girl crying on her daughters shoulders and little cheeks. Joshua then knocks on the cabin and she lets him in. Joshua asks her “who did this to you?” Juno tells him to piss off and Joshua instead sits down on a chair and says to her “If you won’t speak, I guess I’ll have too”. Joshua then begins to tell her his whole life’s story, after 2 hours of storytelling Juno reveals her life story. Joshua and Juno then begin to have a mutual attraction and understanding for one another and Joshua leaves the cabin to find Hugo. Finding him in his chambers with another woman Joshua drags Hugo out of his bed and into the middle of the rebel center, where he then begins to beat Hugo severely and tells him to leave the camp and also threatens that if he ever comes back, next time he will not stop punching. As Hugo is escorted off the grounds by his other woman the rebels rejoice. The rebels soon elect Joshua their new commander and he began to train not only Eemilanko but also the rebels themselves. Over the meager weeks Joshua spent at the camp he managed to train Eemilanko everyday, until he fell unconscious then trained him some more. While Joshua was training Eemilanko he was also training himself mentally and physically, yet still able to manage an intimate relationship with Juno, even helping her raise her daughter. When the time came for war against the king, Joshua and Juno spent one last night together and after devouring her, Joshua left her cabin and went to see his padawan. Joshua told Eemilanko that it was time for him to leave. Eemilanko then told Joshua that he didn’t understand and emphasized that Joshua was supposed to lead the attack. But Josh insisted that it was not his war and said that Eemilanko was more capable leading the attack than he was. Eemilanko asked his master where he was going to go and Joshua replied “where ever the force takes me I suppose” Eemilanko then faintly said “good-bye my master” as Josh is leaving. The next day Joshua made it appear that he left and trained them for nothing. That all the planning and training for the best battle strategies were worthless and a false hope. Juno and Jana were hurt the most by the distrust of Joshua, but little did they know Joshua was still on Motrin and that this was his version of the Jedi trails. Josh saw everything from Eemilanko’s invisible jet. Eemilanko came out of his cabin and counseled the hostile crowd, telling them what Joshua told him the night before. The crowd became quieter and he informed them that he will lead them to victory against the king, cheers then engulfed the area as Eemilanko reentered his cabin and put on the robe Joshua had Juno make for him and equipped the lightsaber he made during his training. Eemilanko then led the rebels to the front gates, but they were expected as Hugo betrayed them to the King. However Eemilanko managed to overcome the adversity by over taking the gates and soon rallied his men to the 2nd rank. After an hour of battle they managed to secure the 4th rank and then got to the King’s chambers. Batiatus’s personal guards then killed 2 front men cutting down the rebel forces to 10, then Eemilanko killed the guards and it appeared all was lost for the king. However it turned out that the king was really a dark Jedi and killed the rest of the rebel fleet, until there was only two Left Eemilanko and Juno. Eemilanko and Batiatus have a ferocious duel that goes form the king’s chambers to a volcano near the battle ground. As the battle reached the volcano Batiatus was winning and Joshua started to get worried. However Eemilanko managed to pull through and force pushed Batitaus through the volcano. Joshua then came down and congratulated him. Juno then came and gave Joshua a passionate kiss, then slapped Joshua the hardest she could. To which Josh replayed “Ok. I deserved that.” They all laughed until Joshua heard footsteps behind him, he then looked back and saw Batitaus’s true form which was a changeling, revealing that it was not the original Batitaus. The Changeling was a giant volcanic creature that was lighting fast, before Joshua even knew it Juno was gone and left in volcanic ash. Joshua and Eemilanko both stood there enraged and tried to stop the monster, but its armored belly was too tough for even a lightsaber. The monster then knocked Eemilanko out and Joshua without a saber since his battle with Plagueis had to fight smart, using the force as not only his ally but also his weapon. Joshua managed to wound the monster as Eemilanko regained consciousness and reentered the fight. They were wining when Joshua found the monster’s weakness but he was then knocked into the volcanic wall putting him out cold. Eemilanko seeing the opening went to the offensive and stuck him in the only place that wasn’t armored and stabbed the monster right though the mouth. As Joshua awoke he found his padawn victorious. Joshua then slowly walked toward Juno’s ashes kissed his hand and put his hand to the ground. He then told Eemilanko to find the real Batiatus as Eemilanko did this he went to the camp to find Jana. Joshua found the camp destroyed, its guard slain and populated by a small portion of the changeling’s army that didn’t participate in the war. Joshua confronted and defeated them all then went to Juno to find it ransacked and deserted. Joshua then went to one of the surviving soldiers and asked “What happened to the little blonde girl who lived in this cabin” the soldier responded “her father took her...off-world” Joshua commanded to know where, but before the solider could tell him he died from his wounds. Joshua furious, calmed himself down and went back to the castle. He saw the real Batiatus and told him that he would be king, He then told Batiatus to rule with kindness and honor like his father before him. Batiatus simply nods and thanks the Jedi for his freedom. Joshua then left for Coruscant to seek the council of Yoda and embrace his friends and family.

Order 66
Joshua also brings Eemilanko to have more adventures as his padawn when they arrived they were greeted by Yoda. Joshua and Yoda had along catching up and he was horrified to know that the Temple was destroyed, but pleased to see that rebuilding had begun. Joshua soon asked Yoda if Eemilanko could be his padawn, to which Yoda says “Too old is the boy...but need of Jedi we have...your padawn he is”. Joshua thanks master Yoda and tells Eemilanko to go with the other Padawns. Joshua then asked Yoda where Elijah and Bobby were. Yoda pointed to the temple and Joshua then went. Joshua, Elijah, and Bobby have a touching reunion, remembering old times and sadden by the new as Joshua is informed of the death of Masters Qui-Gon Jinn and Mace Windu. Joshua then informs them about Ashoka Tano’s death and the death of their unborn child, as well as his new Padawan. That night Joshua was remade a master as well as a long-term member of the high council, to the delight of Master Yoda, who felt Joshua was very deserving of the title. Later that night Joshua was awoken to the alarms of Coruscant, he looked out the window and saw the temple burning, Joshua instantly felt the cold chilling of fear run down his spine, as he saw a sight unimaginable to him. Joshua descended from his home to the streets of Coruscant and gathered clones to help him investigate the matter. Upon arriving at the Temple he was greeted by other masters such as Obi-Wan, Bobby, Elijah, and Yoda, as well as many others. He was informed by Obi-Wan that the padawans had been slaughtered in the night. By an unknown assailant. Obi-Wan then voices his fears that Anakin may have been destroyed by the suspected Palpatine. Joshua frightened by the possible death of Eemilanko goes to personally inspect the room of padawns, and brings four clones to assist him incase the murder is still their. While Obi-Wan privately talks with Yoda. Joshua and the clones investigate and finds that Emilanko’s body isn’t amongst the dead. As a sigh of relief leaves Joshua’s body, the clones are ordered to "Execute Order 66". Immediately Joshua felt a shift in the force and felt his heart heavy with loss. He then feels a disturbance within the clones, and as he turns to look at them he is shocked to see their blasters pointing at him. General Kiomano then tells Joshua “Sorry but we have orders” and proceeds to shoot Joshua, hitting him in the shoulder, as the others also fire he manages to deflect them but is caught once again by a blast this time to his metallic hand. Simultaneously Emilanko comes from his hiding place and cuts the heads of 2 of the clones as they turn to see their attacker, Joshua proceeds to kill the General and the last remaining clone. He then goes from the room to hear the cries and screams of getting betrayed by their trusted soldiers. Joshua thought of his family and searched through the force to make sure they were alive, and then searches for them. Joshua and Eemilanko managed to slaughter their way through the clones until they reach Elijah, Bobby, Yoda, and other Jedi that were losing their lives at every blast coming from the clones surrounding them. Joshua and Eemilanko then risk their lives to create a clear path for the Jedi to escape their imminent death. Yoda, Elijah, and Bobby soon join Joshua in diverting the clones while Eemilanko led the few remaining Jedi out of the temple. As the masters battle their way out of the temple Master Yoda feels the disturbance in the force reveal its self and its location...The Senate Building, confirming at last that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was in fact Darth Sidious As Yoda reveals his knowledge, Bobby notices clones with grenades in their hands, and Bobby force pushes everyone to the ground shouting “Grenade”as an explosion rumbles the Temple. Yoda then rises and throws his lightsaber into a clone getting ready to throw another bomb. As they draw nearer and nearer to the back exit of the temple, the wearier they become. The loss of blood Bobby and Joshua have sustained from the ordeal, and the amount of energy Elijah and Yoda have used to heal them as well as their-selves have made all of them grow weak. As more clones footsteps are heard reaching ever closer, Joshua jokingly says to Elijah and Bobby with noticeable uncertainty “Just like old times, right?” to which Elijah chuckles responding “...Yeah...just like em”. Bobby just smirks as he reminisces, and Yoda then picks up his head and says “Come has the time, ready we must be”. Just then they all jump from their hiding spaces and throw their sabers into the first four clones and race off, retracting their respective sabers. As they come under heavy fire, Elijah sees the light indicating that they have reached the end. As the Masters draw closer and closer to escaping, the Clone Commander Draggo ordered his men to throw every grenade they had at them, informing his men “those Jedi are not to escape under any circumstances.” As hope seemed to prevail for the Jedi they are met with instant bombardment with explosions destroying the Temple from the ground. Just then Bobby grabs the grenades with the force and redirects them back to the clones, but one manages to get through and heads straight for Bobby. Just then Joshua rushes toward Bobby and shoves him out the way with his right shoulder while deflecting the grenade with his saber causing a massive explosion with the force of the impact hurling Yoda, Elijah, and Bobby out of the temple through the exit. As they regain their senses they instantly bring their attention to the Temple and cry with Horror as they see fire is coming from the exit...However they then see a shadowy figure making his way out of the temple the three prepare for more battle with the clones but are relieved to see Joshua holding himself to the wall, using his forearm to help him maneuver out of the temple. As Elijah rushes over to get him out of the temple he notices that his brother was severely burned on his left sided including his left eye. Yoda then tries time and time again to heal the mark upon Joshua’s face, but to no avail, he then tells them “A scar it is, healed, it cannot be”. Just then Yoda clinches his heart as he feels the overwhelming amount of death in the Jedi population. They then hear Eemlianko and the even fewer remaining Jedi running toward Eemlianko who tells Yoda “The Clones are coming! The Clones are coming!”, Bobby tells the padawan to calm himself as Yoda tells Eemlianko and the few remaining Jedi that they will run no longer, he then orders Bobby and Elijah to go to the Senate Building and put an end to Palpatine. Yoda tells the Masters to go through the heavily damaged Temple while he and the others fight the oncoming clones off. The still delirious Joshua then requested for his saber as he announced his intentions of fighting. Yoda then tasks Eemlianko with escorting Joshua off the battlefield and Off-World. Eemlianko compiles without question and begins at once. Just as Joshua is being picked up he witnesses Elijah and Bobby approaching the temple, but the Temple is completely eradicated by Clones firing missiles. Joshua then falls to the ground and screams “NOOOOOOOOO” just then more Clones are deployed form a hangar and they surround the Jedi Eemlinako and Joshua manages to escape the field of battle before the clones close out but Joshua refused with all his might however the explosion severely weakened him. He couldn’t see through his left eye at all, and he could smell the melted flesh from his arm and face, his sense of honor wanted him to continue fighting, but he knew that he was in no condition. As he looked upon the battlefield he could still manage to see some of the events taking place: Yoda now seeing his last plan for survival of the Jedi Order crumble with the Temple feels something that he hasn’t in centuries...uncertainty. He holds his chest in agony once more and whispers to himself “So much death” However he comes back from his thoughts from the pleads of help from his students, Yoda in an act of desperation to save his Jedi releases a Force Wave to which he uses to an extreme degree. The massive wave pushes the clones far away from the Jedi and he rushes the off guarded clones and smites them with his superior saber skills using every style of dueling, that he has mastered. He then orders the remaining Jedi to escape from Courscant. Yoda then made his way through the clones until he reached the Senate Building. Joshua soon passed out from exhaustion and Eemilanko carried his master on his back as he escorted Joshua to the loading docks. When they arrive Eemlianko manages to sneak pass the clone guards and put Joshua on the starcurser and planned to hijack it, but as he positioned himself in the pilot seat the Clones notice that the ship was activated and opened fire upon the ship. Knowing that his first priority was to get his master safely from Courscant, he put the curser on auto pilot opened the hatch and he rushed the clones and brought Joshua enough time to escape, but he was eventually over whelmed, but showed extreme bravery. When Joshua awoke he found himself drifting in space he was startled on how he got there and commanded the starcrusier to replay the security camera. Joshua rewound the tape until he saw Eemlinako fighting the Clones, killing all 10 of them. However more guards then surround Emeilanko and he becomes surrounded. However Emeilanko still managed to take 10 shots to the chest before succumbing to his wounds and dying a heroic death. Joshua paused the tape and felt his heart drop, he searched through the force but he couldn’t find anyone, he was alone, his friends, family, everything he knew was gone, taken form him, and he knew that he had to get it back, that he had to right this terrible wrong the Sith had done, he had to bring them back. Joshua had a new purpose in life, and that purpose was to find the Book of Revitalization.

Search For The Book Of Revitalization
Joshua thought that the Book of Revitalization was the book of spells Plagueis had and he started his Voyage on Shili. While looking for the Book He united the warring tribes to defeat a herd of large orange-furred 4 legged carnivorous predator, with powerful jaws, known as Akul. However he could not find the book. He continued his journey which spanned over Felucia, Mygeeto, Hypori, Buoyant, and Kursid. During his journey he overcame the Jungle Felucians: retrieving an ancient box. He overcame the ice canyons and the mygeetan whiteworm and obtained a map of an unknown world called Aserwaith. However the force pulled him to Hypori, there Joshua came into contact with a battalion of Dorids and defeated the machines. Joshua then used explosives to blow up the droid factory. Joshua soon went to Buoyant to find the book or at least some clues to help him locate the book of legend. There he found a tomb of Buoyant’s extinct population, and above the entrance into the make shift cemetery it read “the answer for which you seek lies in your next destination”. Joshua then left more confused and flustered, however he reread the riddle over again in his mind and decided that the book had to be on the next planet he looked. Joshua soon landed on Kursid and battled against the Kursid natives and the Sith cults were soon to follow, Joshua killed all witnesses so that a survivor didn’t inform the true Sith that the last Jedi has been found. However Joshua left with many question still unanswered, and still without the book. He was close to giving up but needed to try one more time, Joshua then picked up the ancient map and plotted a course for Aserwaith. Joshua landed 10 days later. He felt a great pull of the force in the south west region and went there. Joshua soon saw tracts leading to the side of a mountain leading into a cave. Joshua made his way through the perilous cave and found within it a Book...Could it be it, the Book he was looking for. He hoped so but once he retrieved it he realized that it was not the Book of Revitalization, but the Book of the Immortal God-King of Prakith. Disappointed he slowly walked out of the cave, and started to make his journey back to his ship, but just then a transmission form a deactivated droid appeared and Joshua saw a strange but familiar man, saying “if you are seeing this I am probably long gone by now. It is the last day of the Sith wars. I have defeated the Dark Lord Exar Kun avenging all the wrong I’ve Done...I can finally see the future clearly, in 10 years I will meet a strange person named Yoda and he will be my new apprentice. I suspect that he will be a great Jedi, and even a grandmaster like myself. My son and adopted daughter have run off with each other and I suspect that I am talking to my descent Joshua...Yes, I can see very clearly. This will be the last of my log, I have sent 100 of these logs all around the galaxy, and if you are wondering how you can find the others my force will guide you. Good-Bye my dear Joshua. George out. Joshua stared confused thinking if this strange man could be the Jedi of Legend, the man who joined the first Sith and killed the last, but he was only a myth, or was he. Just then out of nowhere the man reapers as a force ghost and tells Joshua to travel to the Mustafar planet. As he is about to distappear Joshua asked if he was in fact the great Jedi, he responded “yes” and Joshua asked what was his name and the ghost responded “George Lucas Qel-Droma”. George then told him that he will train Joshua to defeat the new Dark Lord Darth Vader. Joshua asked George who this Darth Vader is and the response was Anakin Skywalker. Joshua was in disbelief but George continued telling him that in order to defeat Vader Joshua had to control his pain and anger and channel that it to a weapon of light, to clear his mind and his heart. Joshua was about to decline George’s grandiose offer, feeling preoccupied with finding the Book of Revitalization, but then remembered all his friends and Elijah, and Bobby, and felt that it was his duty as the last of the Jedi to avenged their deaths and destroy the Sith.

New Master
At first training seemed easy, just doing simple things like lifting heavy objects with his force power then it got harder like lifting the biggest mountain on the planet (90 stories tall) then picking up two mountains with two hands then both of the mountains with one. George then taught Joshua to focus on his saber while picking up the two mountains. When George felt Joshua was ready he took him to a secret and sacred place of the planet when out of nowhere a clone of the extinct Massassi tribe came and battled Josh, when he bested the Massassi clone it disappeared then returned with four more. After sometime Joshua defeated the fearsome five, and George congratulated him, they went inside a dark cave which lead them to a door, George opened it, and force pushed Joshua inside. Joshua had been transported to the First Sith War. He was immediately confronted by two Jedi who were being chased by 11 sith that surround the three Jedi. The three Jedi just look as they were going to reach their approximate doom, then Joshua charged at all 11 of them killing 9 while the other two Jedi finished off the rest. Joshua was baffled by this, he didn’t know what was going on but he pressed on. The War lasted 4 years and Joshua killed and saved twice as many lives than George. When the war had been won all of Joshua’s surroundings turned white and all that remained was a door, when he walked out the door. He was right back in the cave. George was impressed and told Joshua “Good Job”. Joshua then asked “what was that” to which George responded “training” “but it felt so real” Josh proclaimed, George told him to take 10 days rest and meet him back in the cave. Joshua still baffled asked how long was he gone after looking at his reflection in the water and looking as if he had not aged a single day. George told Joshua that he had only been gone for three days. Joshua was amazed, he went to his shack and 10 days later returned to the cave as requested. When Joshua reentered the door he was in the Jedi Civil War; the war was long, Joshua faced great warriors, teamed with a young Yoda, and protected Darth Maul’s ancestor from a Sith assassin the war was finally over Joshua’s surroundings turned white and he entered the door. However instead of returning to the cave Josh found himself in the Jedi youngling training room. A recreated George came inside and challenged Joshua to a duel. Joshua lost a close one, then George asked Josh to go another round, Joshua said that he was too tired, then George told Joshua of a future he had foreseen with the Sith ruling the world, with Elijah and Bobby among them. Instantly Joshua realized that the Book of Revitalization was with Palpatine. Joshua asked if this vision would come true, George replied “I do not know, the future is very blurry, but you must be ready, now Again!”. Joshua and George fought for four days straight, they took a brake one day and then continued for four more days. They repeated this process for two years and 10 months within the mystical door. Joshua then finally excelled in power enough to defeat George and the door finally reappeared; after that Joshua left a new man, and felt he was ready to finish the once and for all. However George had one final task of him, to find all the remaining 99 logs he sent around the galaxy. George told Joshua that he would come to him again after Joshua found all 99 logs, so Joshua went on his journey meeting many new friends and foes along the way.

A New Padawn
By the time 41st log has been located he arrives on the frozen planet Hoth to retrieve it. When Joshua got off the ship he felt a familiar disturbance in the force, but he paid it no mind as he had to find the log. Then the unbalance showed itself when Joshua got near the log. It was Maul, Joshua fought and defeated him with ease, and Maul soon turned out to be just a battle droid. Teenage boy came right after and told Joshua “Hey you just destroyed my protocol Droid whipped out a vibrosword, Joshua told the boy he shouldn’t play with things like that and took it from his hand. Joshua then told the boy to go home, the boy said no and whipped out a blaster but Joshua dogged the blast and punched the boy in the face knocking him out. However a blizzard started to reign upon them, and Joshua decided to carry the boy into a cave, ironically Joshua found the log, it said Log entry 10; The debate about the dark arts has come to an end, I fear that I can’t trust anyone not even my friend Exar Kun, However my trusts still never falters in my brother Steven who I hope does not favor the dark arts. Joshua was confused that he had never heard of this Steven from George. However he strayed his thought from such things and decided to take this boy as his new padawan sensing greatness within him. When the boy awoke Joshua asked what his name was, the boy stated that he dosen’t remember, and hasn’t remembered anything since the explosion. Joshua asked “What explosion, and the adolescent boy began to explain saying “I cash landed I think, all I can really remember are those flames...Those bright, burning, flames. After a long and thoughtful pause Joshua interrupted the silence asking the boy how he knew that protocol droid was his. The boy chuckled at the question and said “Well, he told me he was” Joshua smiled at the remark and said “so it’s official, we have to give you a name, what you’d you like to be called” the boy sat in contemplation thinking of a new name. Joshua then answered I know how about Ben the boy shook his head in disagreement and then snapped his fingers in realization stating “I know, Striker” Joshua chuckled and said “alright Striker it is” Striker then asked Joshua if he could ask him a personal question, Joshua says “sure” and Striker asks Joshua how he got his scar. Joshua’s smile then turns to a face of sadness as he gently touches the burned left side of his face. Joshua then begins to tell of the day the “Jedi Temple Came Tumbling Down” Joshua continued all the way to the present. Striker was fascinated with Joshua’s adventures and wanted to know more about Joshua’s life. So Joshua told him of his time as a youngling and as a padawan. They talked for hours and the blizzard finally passed. Joshua then spoke interest in training Striker to be his new padawan. Striker eagerly accepted and they began after a much needed rest. However Joshua soon found that Striker had no force abilities, but still sensed greatness in him and kept Striker as a padawan, focusing entirely on lightsaber combat and dueling skills. After a month on Hoth Joshua felt Striker was ready to help him find the remaining 58 entry logs, and they begin their journey. Over the course of 6 long months Joshua and Striker battle the Anzati, Devaronians, Shistavanens, Tusken Raiders, Voss mystics and commandos, as well as killing a total of 103 imperial clones. All of which resulted in the finding of almost all of the logs left, the was only one that remained out of their possession, and it was located on the planet Adumar. As Joshua and Striker enter the atmosphere they are immediately bombarded by the air force of the planet. Striker informs them that he is an imperial bounty hunter with a Jedi in custody. After that they open fire upon Joshua and Striker, but Striker manages to maneuver away, though the starcuriser is heavily damaged. They land in an ally and put on the cloaking device, then venture out into the unknown town. Joshua remarks that he feels a great shift in the force on the planet and Striker asks Joshua if that’s a good thing, Joshua then smiles and says “Yes...Yes I believe it is.” However before another word could be spoken they are surrounded by the Adumarian police who are surprisingly Mandalorian. Striker prepares for a fight and grips his vibrosword, but Joshua signals him to do otherwise and they turn themselves over. As they are brought in for questioning, Joshua then noticed that they were heading for Castle Black, the Kingdom of Adumar. Joshua then signaled to Striker that it was time to break free of their constraints. Joshua then uses the force to take off the handcuffs and performs a Jedi mind trick on the Mandalorians telling them that they are taking them to meet the King upon the King’s request. They do as told and to Joshua’s surprise they see Pre-Vizsla on the Throne. Pre-Vizsla is the leader of the Mandalorian Death Watch faction, which explained why the government enforcers had been replaced with Mandalorians. Joshua had known of Pre-Vizsla the atrocities he had committed with the Death Watch during the clone wars while the too focused fighting the confederacy. Pre-Vizsla asked what they were doing in his throne room and Joshua responds calm and coldly “we’ve come oh great king to end your reign” Joshua then brandishes his lightsaber and Pre-Vizsla screams “Guards!” the entire Death Watch army comes and surrounds them, and just as Joshua and Striker begin their attack a massive explosion shakes the room. Joshua collapses to the ground and grabs his head as he begins to have flashbacks of The Day the Temple Burned. Then Joshua sees an incredible sight...Jedi. They come out of the smoke as well as some of the Adumar people. But he is truly astonished when he sees his old love and friend Satele Shan. Joshua gets up as fast as he can and force runs toward her she is equally shocked to see him and he hugs her holding as tight as he can, he then starts to cry and says “I thought I was the only one left...I searched, but I couldn’t find any one not even-” Joshua abruptly stopped as he saw Pre-Vizsla rushing at them through the reflection in Shan’s eyes. He force pushed her out of the way and turned around blocking Pre-Vizsla’s attack with his saber. Joshua then notices that Pre-Vizsla has the Darksaber of legend. They briefly duel and Joshua quickly and decisively took control, until the Death Watch started to regain their sense of awareness and started to organize themselves. In an act of desperation to save the people who had inadvertently saved him Striker broke through Pre-Vizsla’s defenses and dueled him. Pre-Vizsla unpredictable fighting style allowed him to hold his own against Striker, but eventually, Striker proved the strongest. He forced Pre-Vizsla ground and performed a sai cha move with the Darksaber Vizsla's own blade. After this the fighting stopped. The Death Watch then turned to Striker and they kneel in his presence. Striker stares at them confused and Pre-Vizsla’s right hand, Jorah Glen then informs him that in the Death Watch “you keep what you kill” which made him the new leader of Death Watch. The Madalorians then cheer “KAL ! KAL! KAL!” in rapid succession, Striker then asks Jorah Glen what they are saying and Jorah informs him that they are canting Kal which in mandalorian means “Boy King”. The next day Joshua continues his conversation with Shan and asks her how she survived the assault against the Jedi. She tells him that the love between her and Commander Jace helped him resist the order and killed his fellow clones before they could kill Shan. She informs Joshua that she has become the Grandmaster of this new order and that she is leading a rebellion against the Sith or as they are now known, the Empire. Joshua asks her if she had seen Elijah or Bobby. She sadly informs Joshua that while she and Commander Jace escaping she witnessed Bobby being captured by the Sith. Joshua then said “well that’s where I must go”, Shan then told Joshua “even though Bobby is your cousin their isn’t any point in going on a suicide mission to rescue someone who might be already dead, especially in your condition”. Shan then affectionately put her hand on Joshua’s burn, he then gently pulled her hand down and said “The force gives me sight, and the will to go on” Joshua then gives her a warm smile and she laughs stating “Same old Joshua...one day that optimism is going to get you killed” Shan then stopped her laughing and said “Please, Josh stay...we need you, and Striker” Joshua then told her “I will be leaving Striker in your care, he has no force abilities but I’ve taught him how to exceptionally handle a saber...I couldn’t save her Satele, but I will save Bobby, I’ll find my brother, and after that we will all join your order and defeat the empire once and for all”. Just as Shan and Joshua begin to say good-bye Striker comes into the main hall and says “we found the last log master”, Joshua smiled happy he was going to see George again as their was much to discuss. However before the log could be read the Adumar alarm rang over Cartann City, Shan had them set up the alarms to inform the rebels that the imperials were on Adumar. Joshua, Striker and his Death Watch then went with the rebels to defeat the imperials. During the confrontation a fight erupted and Shan’s Padawan ended up being shot saving Joshua from a blast he couldn’t see coming. Joshua then agreed to put his family matters on hold to join the rebellion saying to Shan that he had a life debt to the rebellion.

Supreme Commander of the Rebellion
Joshua and Striker then go on countless missions and adventures with the Rebels stopping the Empire from spreading to the outer rim territories, and messing up covert operations for three years. Until Joshua finally decides to play the last log, and it said “Log entry 99; I feel the war is finally coming to an end and that I will have to do the unthinkable...I will try my hardest to bring Exar Kun in for a fair trail, but I feel that he will make me kill him, But shouldn’t is it not just to kill the one who made you kill your brother? To avenge his death?..” Joshua sat in contemplation of George’s final words and decided that he was right and that the only just thing to do was to avenge his family and destroy the Empire head on with as few rebel casualties as possible, and the only way to do that was to get the Book of Revitalization. Joshua then prepared for his mission, and Striker came into the room. Striker asked Joshua what he was doing and Joshua told him his plans. Striker then said “well when do we leave” Joshua sighed and said “not this time Striker, this I must do on my own and besides you have a death watch to lead” Striker then assured Joshua saying “Master I will bring them along-” Striker is then cut off by Joshua who tells him “I do not trust them” Striker then starts to defend the Watch and all the countless contributions they had preformed under his command. Joshua then explained his pervious statement and told Striker “I know all the work they did and I am forever indebated to them, but to me they just remind me too much of the clones...if they taught me anything it’s that looks are deceiving and putting too much trust into something could get you killed. It’s the same with Commander Jace, he saved my life many times and vice versa, but I’ll never truly trust him...you and Master Shan are the only family I have left, If...I can’t have anything happen to you two...You’ve been like a little brother to me, and I will not lose another member of my family...not again. You’re staying here and that’s an order...my final one, Good-Bye Striker”. They say goodbye and Joshua leaves. Just then as Joshua was taking off in hyperspace George reappeared and asked Joshua what he was doing, and Joshua responded “What I should of done from the start. He then took off to lightspeed, George was trying to talk him out of his suicide mission but Joshua told him that he wasn’t going to stop him. George responded “Yes I Will” and took control of the ship and set a corse for the nearest planet Alderaan. Joshua tried everything but to no avail. As they land Joshua was so enraged that he stormed out of the ship and blasted it with Black Sith lighting a maneuver he hadn’t used since his fight with Plaguies. Joshua then unleashed his force ripping the ship in half. George then comes to Joshua once again and Joshua asked “What have you done” George responds “I just saved your life and the life of every one you know or have yet to know” George then disappears.

Mara Jade
The next day Joshua is awaken by the landing of a stealth wing. Joshua then drew his lightsaber as a woman came out blaster in hand and a saber by her side. Joshua then suggested toward her “what do you say you put down that blaster and I buy you a drink.” The woman smirked and said “How about you put that saber down and I buy you one”. Joshua then told her “Now I hate it when I have to decline a beautiful woman such as yourself but I must”, the woman laughed and said “well I hate to be declined so I’m going to have to kill you Good-Bye Joshua”. Joshua even more intrigued in this mysterious woman says “Hey, you know my name, what’s yours?” “Mara...Mara Jade”. Mara Jade then shot her blaster at him but he deflected it with his lightsaber. Joshua asked her “So Mara are you spoken for?” she told him “No” as she fired off another shot at him, Joshua deflected it again and said “so there wouldn’t be a problem with you going out with me tonight.” Mara Jade then proclaimed “Yes there would be based on the fact that I don’t date Jedi scum” Joshua then quickly said back to her “well I don’t usually date Imperial trash, but then again I do like to visit the imperial dump this time of year,so what do you say?”. She declines and Joshua growing frustrated joked “Why? Why not... what do you have to lose?...besides your head of course.” Mara Jade smiled and said “Ha, very funny, now when you’re done making jokes, I’d like to get back to killing you” Joshua then pleaded to her stating “aw, come on just one date then you can go back to killing, I’ll even let you shoot me. Come on one date just one. Mara now intrigued asked Joshua “just one and you’ll let me shoot you” Joshua then smirked and said “just one”. Mara then told Joshua to meet her at the prancing pony in Aldera in one hour’s time Joshua was noticeably happy and said “Okay”. As Mara Jade began walking away she told him “And Jedi…Don’t be late” as she continued walking away smiling. As the time drew closer Joshua was a nervous wreck, and George asked Joshua why he was so nervous. Joshua still mad at George let him know that he was not yet forgiven. However Joshua answered his question, telling George that he hadn’t been on a date since his first love Satele Shan, he told George that he was so in love with her that he asked her to marry him, she said no since they were both padawans during that time, and her master wasn’t particularly fond of Dooku and neither was she, they promised that they would wed when they passed the trails but then the clone wars began and it was postpone once again. As the night grew closer Joshua was still in dire need for a place to stay for the night hoping for a potential nightcap, however he was unable to arrange reservations at Hotel Stopover as he didn’t have any time. Joshua soon put on his finest robes and accidentally left his saber. As Joshua entered the Prancing Pony he was immediately seated, soon she arrived and was greeted by him as he pulls out her chair. Joshua then tells her “you know I wore my good robe for this” and she responded “and I wore my only dress” as she sat down. Joshua then told her “I’m deeply honored”, and she said “So am I”. As they waited for their food Joshua asked her “who hired you to find me?” Mara Jade then looks confused at Joshua and says “I fear you aren’t going to live up to your reputation.” Joshua smiles and says I didn’t know I had a reputation amongst bounty hunters” Mara Jade sighed with disappointment and said “I thought withyou’re your sensational knowledge of espionage and counter-intelligence that you would be able to decipher my occupation without any trouble” Joshua now puzzled asked her “If you’re not a bounty hunter then what are you” She then tells him “I am the hand of the Emperor, Starwalker. I serve him all over the galaxy, doing jobs the Imperial Fleet and Stormtroopers can't handle. That is my one great talent, you see? I can hear his call from anywhere in the Empire, and report back to him the same way. I’ve exposed traitors for him, brought down his enemies, helped him keep the kind of control over the mindless bureaucracies that he needed. I have prestige, and power, and respect...And I have been assigned to kill you." Joshua baffled by the news takes a few more gulps of Alderaan’s infamous wine and says “Then why haven’t you killed me yet she smiles and tells him I’m working on it, but how does one simply kill the God of War ?”. Joshua laughed at the remark and said “so that’s what they’re calling me now?” Mara Jade then gazed in Joshua’s eye and said justifiably so, I mean, you are the one who single handedly ended the clone wars, the one who killed the master of my master, the one who is successfully running a rebellion against the entirety of the Empire. The man who liberated entire worlds from the clutches of my master, such as Deko Neimoida, and Devaron. You have destroyed valuable missiles for the imperial Navy on Jagga II, You lead the battle of Serenno resulting in the deaths of imperial Warlords Zsinj, and Sander Delvardus which is no small feat...To me or the Empire”. Joshua then locks eyes with her and says “you seem to know a lot about me but I am more interested in you, tell me your story” Mara Jade nods and begins to tell him of her origins. The more they talk the more they hit it off. As the date came to an end Mara Jade told him to follow her and stated that she had reservations at Hotel Low-Orbit. Joshua did as directed and soon after they were in her room. After a short discussion, she disrobed him and they began having sex. After the passionate and intense love making Mara Jade awakes and binds Joshua's hands and legs, she then has 20 imperial officers escort Joshua to Mara Jade’s ship the Jade's Fire. Joshua looks at Mara Jade now knowing he had been tricked smirked and winked at her as he let himself be captured. As he hung on the wall of the ship she kissed him intensely then said “It’s a shame, you were kind of cute...even with your condition, good-bye Joshua” When Mara Jade was about to leave she remembered something and shot him in the arm. As she left with her soldiers Joshua was still in pure shock at the beauty of this woman, but he quickly recuperated from his feelings and broke himself free using the force. Joshua soon broke into the main control room of the ship and it showed that they were right above a planet called Axis and Mara Jade was in room 64. Joshua then set a crash course for the planet, and rushed to room number 64. When he arrived she was in her undergarments but he had no time to say something witty as they were due to crash any minute, so he grabbed her and force pushed through the main gates and got into a space pod. Joshua then says “this a tight squeeze” as he is holding her breast and butt. Mara Jade snapped back at Joshua saying “Spare me Jedi” Joshua then sharply asked her “Why do you not like the Jedi, what did any of us do to you?”. After a long pause Mara Jade brakes the silence and says “well if you must know, I always wanted to be one of you, but they said “I didn’t have a great enough balance with the force.” Joshua with a understanding tone says “so now you hunt them” and she says “Precisely”. As they land Joshua finally noticed that he left his lightsaber on Alderaan. Joshua then tells Striker via-hologram to go to Alderaan and retrieve it. Striker was confused why his master was on Alderaan in the first place and how he could’ve possibly left his lightsaber. However Joshua assures him that he’ll explain everything once he gets to Axis. After that was settled he remembered the conversation he had with Mara Jade and offered to train her to become a Jedi She said that under any other circumstances and with any other person she would say no but since she doesn’t have anything to lose she said “why not”. They began training and falling for each other more and more each day. They soon discover a village among the withering, and dying land of Axis and mingle with the locals. When Striker arrives he sees the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, Kaena, a rebellious high spirted teenaged girl, Striker instantly fell for her as did she. As they got to know each other more they both grew more and more in love to the dismay of See-Way the High Priest’s son who is her betrothed. One day when the gods demanded sap, the people of Axis couldn’t produce as much as they wanted so they made the priest tell everyone not to move while things collapses around them. However as the High Priest was about to be crushed by a statue, he moved. Kaena was heavily upset about it and went to confront him about it, but because of her not believing him she is out casted by the High Priest. She runs out of the village in disbelief and he cuts his hand with a knife, while blaming Kaena for the deed. After that the Villagers go after her. Striker is devastated by this and ran to Kaena’s hideout while Joshua, suspecting foul play looks into the situation and deduces that the High Priest was an imperial general and that their “Gods” were actually Sapp people that were supposed to be extinct since the end of the Great Hyperspace War. Joshua was horrified by this creature and quickly went back to his hut to tell Mara Jade of his discovery. She looked somewhat confused but most of all understood. They tried to escape the blood thirsty village and met up with Striker and Kaena, but they were caught by the High Priest and his spiteful son. Joshua did not want to hurt the villagers so he let them capture him while the rest escaped. When Joshua and the villagers arrived at the stronghold the “Gods” were not pleased with them coming and killed the High Priest. Joshua then brandished his lightsaber and tried to smite one of the creatures, but his saber went right through the creature and it dragged Joshua into an endless pit of sap, drowning Joshua with every second. However before Joshua could be killed, Striker, Kaena, and Mara Jade unknowingly stalled for Joshua to escape. After, Kaena tells them that she has a plan to destroy the Sapp “Gods” and leaves. Mara Jade then says to Joshua “Joshua, I don't want to discourage your curiosity, but I have to remind you, if something goes wrong, this is an exceptionally embarrassing way to die". Joshua then laughs and tells her “I'll trust you to improve the story. Joshua Starwalker goes out in a blaze of glory drowning in battle with a Sapp God”. The two then laugh and she kisses him. Joshua asked her what that was for and she said “Luck”. They then charge into battle with Striker by their side, stalling for Kaena to have enough time to find the blue sun and take its knowledge. After she absorbed the blue sun she killed the Sapp creatures with one fell swoop and becomes the new leader of her people. She then leads them to a new world below that was unknown before the merger,that took place during the battle. Striker wanted her to go back to Adumar with him and marry him, but she felt she was obligated to lead her people. Kaena then told Striker that she will always love him. Joshua and Mara Jade then enter Striker’s ship as Striker tells her “I’ll be back for you” she then tells him “I’ll be waiting”. The Trio then leave Axis and head for Adumar.

Balancing Love and Duty
Four months later: Striker forms an alliance with the New Mandalorian leader Fenn Shysa, to expand the rebellions forces by tenfold; Mara Jade becomes a valued member of the rebellion playing pivotal roles in the battles of Helska, Dantooine, and Fondor; Joshua led the defeat of Grand Admirals Afsheen Makati, The "invisible admiral" Martio Batch, and the self-proclaimed Grand Admiral Andal Sait. As Joshua and Mara Jade return home to Adumar after the successful campaign against the Empire she in forms him that she is pregnant. Joshua is stunned by the news yet astatic and kisses her with immense passion, then tells her “You just made me the happiest man in all the galaxies” She put her fingers through Joshua’s hair and affectingly held his head in her hand. Mara Jade then told him “I Love you Starwalker don’t you ever forget that” Joshua then smiled, kissed her hand, and walked into the council meeting to discuss battle strategy. At the end of the meeting Shan spoke privately with Joshua telling him that while she was on the planet Gargon, one of the Mandalorian worlds, she found new information on Joshua’s family. Joshua hopefully asked her if it had anything to do with Elijah or Bobby and she sadly replies. However she then continues telling him she overheard Joshua’s father was still alive and on Concord Dawn serving as a journeyman protector. Joshua was baffled by this as he was told by his mother some years ago that his father Jaster Mereel was executed for killing a corrupt politician. Joshua now seeking answers, quickly thanks Satele and heads for his chamber to tell Mara he is leaving. However before Joshua can inform her she tells him “Joshua, look I have been thinking and the only way to say this is to be blunt and direct...Joshua...I want us to leave” Joshua laughs and tells her “that’s what I had to say to you...Mara we’re going to Concord Dawn in the Mandalorian sector. I believe my father is there.” Mara’s eyes begin to water and Joshua then comforts her, as he holds her by the side and places his hand on her stomach. Joshua then kisses her and says “Don’t worry we’ll be back soon enough for the next battle.” Tears then fall form her eyes as she says “Joshua that’s not what I mean...we have to leave this Rebellion...for all three of our sakes she then puts her hand on top of the hand Joshua has on her stomach. He is confused and knocked back by this statement and tells her “How can you say that, how can I give up on a cause I truly believe in, I believe we can win Mara I know we-” Mara Jade then erupted with emotional furry saying “NO YOU DON’T! YOU KNOW NOTHING! I’VE SEEN WHAT HE CAN DO, WHAT HE’LL SEND AT YOU!” Joshua is clearly taken back by this and Can’t muster words to say as she continues crying saying “What if he sends Vader, what will you do? Huh, What Can You Do!” Joshua then tells her calmly “I can handle Vader, George has taught me-” She then cuts him off again and says “All you can say is George this and George that, well if he comes George isn’t going to be there to coach you through it! George won’t be there to help you, to save you when you need saving! What will You Do?!!? YOU CAN’T WIN!!!!!!!” Joshua then yelled at her for the first time since they met and He screamed “I GOTTA TRY! I HAVE TO TRY,OR ALL THE DEATHS WE HAVE CAUSED, ALL THE PEOPLE AND THEIR SACRIFICES WILL HAVE BEEN FOR NOTHING! HOW COULD I EVER LOOK AT OUR CHILD IN THE EYES KNOWING THAT ITS LIFE IS HELL AND I, EVEN IN THE SLIMMEST OF MARGINS, COULD HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO CHANGE THAT!...I love you with all my heart but do not ask me to choose between my honor and my family. Mara Jade then looked deeply into Joshua’s eyes and told him as she wiped the tears in her eyes “Don’t ask me to watch you, die, because I have seen enough good people die. Our child needs a father not a dead hero. I am going on my ship and leaving this planet in a week, if you want to be a part of my life and the life of our child then you’ll be on that starcruiser” Joshua looked down in thought and said “we’ll discuss this when I get back”. Joshua then left the room and soon after, Adumar. As soon as Joshua arrived on Concord Dawn he went looking for Jaster and found him only it wasn’t what he was expecting. Instead of finding his father he found the cloned son of Jango Fett, Boba Fett to told him the story of Jaster and how he truly died a hero and as the Mand'alor. Boba then gives Joshua all of Jaster's equipment and Jaster’s secret journal for his condolences. Joshua thanks him and leaves for Adumar. When he returns he finds his wife and he tells her the new information he has found about his origins and his father. Joshua then tells her “You’re right you know...Our child needs a Father not a hero, and I want to be the father my father wanted to be for me and my brother. I want to be there for our child’s first words, our baby’s first walk. I want to grow old with you, until our bones wither as we fade away in each other arms. I Love you Mara, but I have to end this first, I will meet head on with Palpatine and kill him upon his famed Black Throne...It’s the only way I can keep you two safe. I just want you to know that family comes before duty and honor to me, and I’ll die to ensure the safety of my family, no glory, no recognition, just knowing that you two are alive and safe will make my sacrifice worth it. Joshua then kisses her and they begin to make heated love making passionately for the last time. The next day as Joshua holds Mara Jade in his arms he begins to softly sing “Remember I will still be here, As long as you hold me, In your memory, Remember When your dreams have ended, Time can be transcended, Just remember me, I am the one star that keeps burning so brightly, It is the last light to fade into the rising sun, I'm with you whenever you tell my story for I am all I've done, Remember I will still be here As long as you hold me In your memory, Remember me, I am that warm voice in the cold wind that whispers And if you listen you'll hear me call across the sky As long as I still can reach out and touch you Then I will never die, Remember I'll never leave you If you will only Remember me, Remember I will still be here As long as you hold me In your memory, Remember When your dreams have ended Time can be transcended, I live forever Remember me, Remember me, Remember me” he then kisses her forehead and she says “that’s beautiful where did you learn it” Joshua smirks as he reminisces and says “it’s a lullaby my mother used to say to me. I can still remember her singing it to me the day I was sent to the order.” Mara Jade then said “it’s ironic huh?” Joshua then looks at her confused and she continues “the last time you heard that song the Order striped you of your family and now it’s doing it again all these years later” Joshua then wipes a tear from her eyes, kisses her and tells her “come on I’ll walk you to your ship” As they begin their journey to the airlift, A massive explosion erupts the Jedi fortress and Joshua looks back to see what has happened and Mara Jade says “It has begun” as single tear comes down her face. Joshua then grabs her by the hand and says “it’s time to go” as he uses force speed to get her away. As they are running Joshua can hear the soldier’s screams and cries of horror, as they are slaughtered one by one. Joshua gets Mara safely on her ship and tells her “remember me” and kisses her as if it will be the last time.

Joshua Starwalker vs Darth Malgus
After this Joshua hurries to the battle field as it quickly becomes a rebel graveyard. Joshua gets ensnared in a duel with a force adept equipped with a red lightsaber. Joshua strikes the adept down and fears that Mara Jade wasn’t the only agent of the emperor as she had proclaimed. Joshua soon comes into battle with more of these saber welding adepts and new better, equipped, Stromtroppers. Pandemonium covers the fortress as Joshua and the other rebels begin to be over run. Joshua understands that continuing to battle the invaders without strategy would result in the deaths of everyone and rallies together the remaining Rebels and proceeds to lead them into combat against the invaders. As the battle rages on Joshua begins to lose more and more of his forces as they fight for their home. Joshua searches the battlefield for Striker however he is unable to be located, so Joshua and his troops press on killing more of the Empire’s soldiers, until Joshua sees from amongst the dust and debris two Shadowy figures battling. As the figures become clearer Joshua sees a metallic suit and a red saber along with a black saber in combat with the red saber. Joshua then screams “Striker!!!I’m coming!!!!”. However as the dust clears Joshua is horrified to see Striker’s body at the fee to a mysterious Sith instead of Vader. Joshua screams “NNNOOO” and force pushes the young warrior into the far wall. He then rushes to Striker’s side and checks to see if he is still alive. Fortunately Striker is alive, but barley and he orders Commander Jace to evacuate him immediately. The young Sith warrior now no longer pressed to the wall says “Joshua, I presume, You don’t know me but you will and rushes at them with a speed Joshua hadn’t seen since Plagueis. Before he knew it the young warrior was right in front of Joshua and force pushed the Jedi Master away. As Joshua went flying through the air three Jedi tried to ambush the Sith warrior. He then unleashed a powerful blast of Force lightning and killed the Jedi with it. As the few remaining rebels attempt to gain up on him he kills one of them by grabbing the Rebel’s neck with a single hand, lifting him up from the ground, and squeezing him to death, he then preforms a force wave sending the rebels flying, Joshua comes back tells Commander Jace to take Striker and rendezvous with Satele Shan on Tython. Jace nods in agreement and Joshua jumps into the fray and punches the Sith in the face and as he stumbles back Joshua says “Who are you” the powerful force adept smiles and says "I am Darth Maglus, The Emperor’s secret apprentice” Joshua then brandishes his lightsaber and says “No your dead” Malgus then pulled out another saber and walked toward Joshua who was doing the same. As Jace and Striker leave the building Joshua and Malgus collide Sabers in a test of strength, Malgus quickly took advantage being physically stronger than Joshua. However Joshua ends the test by punching Malgus in the face again to which Malgus force pushes Joshua away. Joshua rushes back and they collide sabers again, with Malgus using his second saber to slash through Joshua’s coat. Joshua then stabs Malgus in the leg and doges Malgus’s follow up slash. However Malgus isn’t slowed down and forcer pushes Joshua appearing behind him and prepares to stab Joshua in the back however Joshua ducks and attempts to stab him in the said but it is blocked by Malgus’s saber. Malgus then force pushes Joshua to the ground and spikes his sabers to the floor. Joshua caught off guard by the unorthodox attack could not react in time for Malgus’s on coming assault as Malgus slams Joshua’s face on the fortress floor repeatedly, then turns Joshua over and begins to choke him and then starts hammer fisting Joshua who in an act of desperation force pushes Malgus to the ceiling. As Joshua staggers up he is sent back down by a powerful force blast from Malgus and he begins to force choke Joshua while dragging Joshua closer and closer to the ignited lightsaber preparing to split Joshua in half from the head down. However Joshua flip kicks Malgus over the saber and jumps on top of him giving Malgus straight right hands to the jaw. Malgus then force pushes Joshua away spitting blood out of his mouth. They then try to force push one another but neither can get the edge, just then a Starcuriser pulls up between the two and Joshua sees through the cockpit that Mara Jade is flying it. Mara Jade then told Joshua to get in, he smiled a bloody smile and mouthed to her I love you. Joshua then winked at Malgus and force Jumped onto the cruiser. But as Joshua was going to land Maglus counter-pushed Joshua in mid-air. Mara Jade then gets out the starcruiser and tries to confront Maglus. Maglus then spits at the sight of Mara Jade and coldly says “Traitor”. She responses “who the hell are you” Maglus then says “I am the Hand of the Emperor and his Secret Apprentice Darth Maglus” Jade says “that can’t be true I’m the only Hand of the Emperor” Malgus laughs and says “ on the contrary there are 13 different hands excluding You and me” A furious Mara Jade then says “He told me I was the only one…the only Hand of the Emperor. His weapon of choice when he needed a scalpel rather than a sword…that lying, drooling, scum-swallowing, superannuated under-handed festering filth-sucking parasite!" Malgus then says “The Emperor also has an Emperor's Reach, an Emperor's Voice, and the Emperor's Eyes. He has tasked me to destroy the Grandmaster of this rebellion to prove my worth to him. Tell me where Satele Shan is and I’ll bring you back to the Empire alive, refuse and I’ll make you watch his death before yours” Malgus then points to Joshua but his body is no longer where Malgus last saw him. Just then Malgus hears "if the emperor really has all those positions what are you, the hand he wipes his ass with” clearly aggravated Malgus coldly says “I am his Will” turns around and force pushes where he senses Joshua. However Joshua doges the force wave and appears right in front of Malgus with his lightsaber pressed against Malgus’s throat, Joshua then says “It’s over your finished” Malgus smiles and looks to his right, signaling Joshua to do the same. As he does he sees Malgus holding Mara Jade by the force. He then tells Joshua “Now it’s Over” and force pushes Joshua away. As Maglus is holding Mara Jade he tells Joshua to give him his lightsaber. Joshua dose as he is commanded while ordering Maglus to release Mara Jade. Malgus ignores Joshua and proceeds to force crush Joshua’s lightsaber all the while still holding Mara Jade with the force. Joshua then screams to Maglus “LET HER GO!” Maglus laughs and says “As you command” and throws Mara Jade. As Mara goes flying through the air Joshua screams “MMMMAAAARRRAAA JJJAAAADDDDEEEE!!!!!!!” and grabs her with the force focusing entirely on her and as he gently lowers her to ground level Malgus throws one of his sabers at Joshua. As the saber lands in the right side of Joshua he drops Mara a few inches from the ground she Screams “NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!” Joshua then lays on his back coughing up blood. As it drips from his lips he wipes the blood away and says “Mara…will you marry me?" Mara Jade then says “you mean if we get out of here alive?" and Joshua tells her “I mean regardless”. Mara with tears in her eyes and throat says “Yes, Yes Joshua!” Joshua then stumbles up and says “Thank you...for giving me something to live for” Joshua with the saber still lunged inside him starts walking toward Malgus who is doing the same. As Maglus rises his saber to strike a fatal blow to Joshua, Mara Jade throws her saber to Joshua who on pure instinct grabs it and stops Maglus’s saber by brandishing Mara Jade’s lightsaber colliding it against Maglus’s lightsaber sending sparks into Maglus’s eyes. With Maglus temporally blind Joshua takes out Maglus’s saber and gets into a Jar'Kai stance. Joshua and Maglus then duel again and Joshua starts to overwhelm Maglus counter striking and outclassing Maglus. Malgus then performed Force screams to make his hatred apparent to Joshua and shattered a nearby column of wall and sent a rain of stone shards toward Joshua. Joshua manages to maneuver around the rubble and saber throws both sabers, Maglus doges the first one but the second one slashes him in the face splitting his cheek horizontally. As Maglus drops to the ground Joshua chose this moment to blast Malgus with the Force, throwing him into a nearby wall and then unleashing a second, more powerful blast that brought down the entire ceiling on top of the secret apprentice. Joshua then drops Malgus’s saber and picks up his crushed light saber, Mara Jade then put Joshua‘s arm around her helping him walk to the Starcruiser as Joshua said “Let’s Go” and they leave their home and the world of Adumar behind.

Finding an Old Friend
Mara Jade asks Joshua where they should go and Joshua closes his eyes and says “the force is pulling me to the Dagobah system, I feel we should go their” Mara Jade says “Okay” and they set a course. When they arrive Joshua tells her to head for the planet Dagobah as he feels the force getting stronger. Upon landing Joshua can feel a familiar presence amongst the remote world of swamps and forests. As he searches for the force signature he comes across a hut. The hut was simple, constructed of mud but had technological enchantments. As he approached the door of the make shift hut Joshua opened the door and heard a voice say “Forgot how to knock, have we young Starwalker” Joshua says in a faint voice “...Yoda...Yoda is it really you” just then Master Yoda appears out of the shadows and says “Too long it has been...too long indeed”. Joshua then rushed over to Yoda and they embrace as Jedi in a truly touching reunion. Joshua and Yoda then begin to catch up discussing everything that has transpired over the past three years leading up to this point. Yoda is surprised to hear Joshua was trained by his old master George, and tells Joshua that he has made him proud. Yoda then shocks Joshua by telling him that his brother and cousin survived Order 66, Joshua is truly grateful for the news and Joshua later leaves to get Mara Jade and introduces her to Yoda who says “lovely she is” and kisses her on the hand. When Mara Jade gets a well-deserved sleep, Joshua asks Yoda "Master, what should I do? I want to be there for her and our child but I took an oath as a Jedi to battle evil no matter the odds. I battled the forces of evil all my life to defend the galaxies from tyranny, I can’t just sit back now and have us lose.” Yoda then tells Joshua “lose we will not, but patience, we must have. Time it will take before the Force rebalances its self. Until then, hide in exile we must.” Joshua nods in agreement and they stay with Yoda for two weeks. After that Yoda and Joshua say their good-byes to one another and they hug. As Joshua and Mara Jade leave Dagobah, she asks him where he wants to go and Joshua suggest Tatooine. Mara says “A little too hot for my taste, but it’s far away and a nice place to raise a child without imperial interference.” Joshua smiles and kisses her then says “Tatooine it is then” as he holds her stomach.

A New Hope
When they arrive Joshua notices his home town of Bestine has become over run with Imperials and they journey across the dunesea to the city of Wayfar after visiting Joshua’s mother. There in the deep south of the most inhabitable region of Tatooine, east of the Dune Sea, Joshua and Mara Jade are married and Joshua takes the new name of Priest and gets a job as a Moisture farmer. 9 months later Mara Jade goes into labor and as she gives birth says "Darling, I love you, you are my life and my light. If you ever do this to me again, I will vape you where you stand." Joshua then laughs as she gives one last push and delivers a beautiful baby boy they name Ben. As Ben is placed in Joshua’s arms he smiles and declared that the darkness would never touch the boy, for he would be raised in the light. Joshua then says to him “A New Hope...That’s what you are my, New Hope. A few years later, Ben and his friend Windy Marstrap had tried to ease their boredom by riding Windy's pet dewback around in the Jundlan Wastes. They had been thrown in one of the canyons and had gotten bruised up. By dusk, Ben and Windy still hadn't found their way out of the canyon until they were discovered by Joshua’s old friend Obi-Wan Kenobi. Kenobi guided them back to the Starwalker farm, and Joshua told Ben and his friend to go inside so they would be out of ear shot, then embraces his old friend as Jedi, then they discuss the events that have transpired on Joshua’s outside patio. Joshua is then informed that Obi-Wan is trying to form a strike team to defeat the Emperor once and for all and wants to get Joshua to join the ranks. Joshua thinks in contemplation and says “Maybe in another life, but I’m a family man now, I’m retired.” Obi-Wan then reiterates the importance of killing the Emperor and saving the galaxy. Joshua is shocked by Obi-Wan’s words and says “I’d never expect to hear those words from you, Bobby, yeah but from you, I’m shocked.” Obi-Wan laughed as he thought about his younger days with Bobby and sighed. He then said “I wanted to become a Jedi because I thought I would make a difference, change the galaxy...the galaxy, however, has changed me." Joshua drank from his cup got up and grabbed a black wooden chest. As he opened it he said “I couldn’t have agreed with you more Obi-Wan, The Emperor needs to die, but the galaxy has changed me too. I’m a family man now, I farm, hunt, and take care of my family. My wife is with child as we speak. There is no room for adventure and risk while they still depend on me. As I said before old friend...I’m retired. Joshua then hands Obi-Wan Dooku’s lightsaber signifying his Jedi days are over. Obi-Wan then prepares to leave, as he walks out Joshua tells him that if he needs anything he will always have a home on Tattoine. Joshua and Obi-Wan then embrace as Jedi once again.

Trouble in Exlie
Several years later Joshua and Mara’s second son Nathan whom they affectingly nickname “Nat” goes on one of Ben’s wild adventures through the Jundland Wastes. However unbeknownst to the boys the Tusken Raiders began a campaign against human settlements that had encroached on Tusken lands, led by former Jedi A'Sharad Hett. They find the children a mist the raid of a moisture farm and bring them to A'Sharad Hett, who sensed great force potential in the boys commanded the Tusken’s to take them captive as they would be his students. As the hours grow darker at the Starwalker farm Mara gets more and more concerned remembering the last time Ben came home late he came back with a broken arm from falling down a mountain he was climbing. Joshua then told Mara that he was going to go look for them but as he put one foot through the door he was met by a hysterical moisture famer named Nardom Starkiller. Nardom was the father of Ben’s old friend Windy and a friend of the Starwalkers. As Joshua calmed Nardom down he began to explain his hysteria to Joshua saying “I just saw the Tusken raiders, they’re headed straight for us. But worst of all I saw them take your sons Priest! They took your boys!” Joshua is floored by this information and Mara Jade with tears in her eyes runs to his arms. Joshua tells Mara it will be alright as he remembers what happened to Anakin’s mother when she was captured and then asks Nardom where the Tuskens are. Nardom tells him that they are only a day away at the rate they are going but probably made camp near the edge of the Jundland Wastes. Joshua thanks Nardom for the grievous news and rushes to his Incom T-16 Skyhopper. As he reaches the Jundland Wastes in the cold black darkness of the night sky he sees a flame of light, he slows down and lands near a few meters away and with the night as his ally spies on the Tuskens. He deduces that their numbers are far too great for one tribe and is convinced that someone has united them. Joshua realizes that their numbers are too overwhelming and their entrances are too well guarded, and determines that he couldn’t retrieve his sons and protect them as well as himself from the overwhelming Tuskens and goes back home to plan a strategy, to save his boys. As soon as first light hits the farm Joshua and Mara Jade go around from Anchorhead, all the way to Tosche Station rallying an army of farmers to oppose the Tusken Raiders. As they come together Joshua tells them “We shall stand for this barbarity no longer!” and the army of blood lusting farmers screams in approval Joshua then continues say “We shall all March on the Jundlan Wastes and take back what is ours!” The crowd erupts again, but are silenced by a familiar voice shouting “That won’t be necessary” Nardom then shouts “Who the hell are you” and the man replies “I am Ben Kenobi and I offer an alternate solution” another farmer shouts out “what is it” and Ben says “I suggest you send me in alone, their leader is a Jedi and I feel I am the only one who can combat this threat” another farmer shouts “there are no Jedi, you crazy hermit” and the crowd erupts in laughter. Ben then whispers to himself “I hate this place” and asksed if they wanted his help or not. Joshua said “Yes we shall accept your offer to join us” to the dismay of the crowd. After the meeting was adjured Ben and Joshua met separately. Joshua tells Ben “I thought you were dead” Ben smiles and says “I thought you were retired” Joshua looks down and says “They have my Boys, Obi-Wan they have my sons! I don’t know what to do. I’m going to lead these villagers to their death, I can feel it” Obi-Wan then puts his hand on Joshua’s shoulder and says “worry not old friend we shall make sure the deaths of those we lose tomorrow, will not be in vain” Joshua smiles at the reassurance and tells Obi-Wan “I feel like such a fool… how can I lead a rag tag group of farmers when I can’t even defend my own keep with a squadron of highly trained men, I’m not fit to lead these people or anyone else for that matter” Obi-Wan shakes his head and says “Who's the more foolish, the fool, or the fool who follows him?” Joshua looks at Obi-Wan confused and Obi-Wan continues “you will find a way” Joshua then says “But there has to be another way”. Obi-Wan then tells Joshua “I may have a plan”. Joshua, Obi-Wan, and Mara Jade then devise a perfect stagey to end the Tusken campaign and save the boys with as little casualties as possible. The next day Joshua equipped with Striker’s vibrosword and blaster meets with his army of farmers and tells them that the plan has changed, and that only Ben, Mara Jade and he were going to infiltrate the Tusken camp. This puts the crowd in an uproar and Joshua notices the someone is missing he then says “where is Owen?” a farmer shouts “Who?” and Joshua continues saying “Owen Lars where is he” another farmer shouts to Joshua “He’d knew you’d be too chicken shit to go through wit the assault and went to take care of them himself” Joshua closes his eyes and says to himself “No” as he sighed. He then rushed to his landspeeder to join Mara Jade and Obi-Wan. As they drive toward the Jundland Wates Joshua debriefs them of the predicament Owen Lars has put them in thanks to his misguided bravery. When Obi-Wan asks him what they should do, Joshua says “We stick to the plan”. As they approach the Jundland Wates they see Owen Lars surrounded and captured. As they exit the vehicle the trio spilt up, Joshua and Mara go to the back way as Obi-Wan dives into the middle of the circle surrounding Owen Lars and stops his execution by blocking A'Sharad Hett’s lightsaber with his own before he could behead Owen. Kenobi then shared with the Tusken warlord his fears that Hett was becoming the very thing that the Jedi had sworn to fight against. Kenobi continued by asking him to stop his crusade against the settlers of Tatooine, but Hett refused to listen to Kenobi. Hett argued that it was the Jedi's job, indeed his job, to defend those who were oppressed, and that that was why he fought for the Tuskens. Refusing to forgive the settlers, whom he had witnessed killing countless Tuskens, including Owen, who had just killed a whole tribe of Tusken Raiders with only one blaster. Owen smiled at the statement and was knocked out by Hett with the hilt of his saber as Hett screamed “blood called out for blood” to the roar of the Tsukens. Hett then advised Kenobi that he would continue his war. With the whole of the Tusken army watching, the two Jedi ignited their lightsabers and fought a vicious duel in the sands surrounding the Jundland Wates. Meanwhile Joshua and Mara Jade went through the Tusken camp unnoticed and unstopped until they were confronted by six Tuskens that guarded the hut the boys were being kept in. They slaughtered all but one who in turns puts up a fight against Joshua’s Vibrosword with his excellent hand-to-hand combat with the traditional gaderffii. However Joshua was able to cut the Tusken named URoRRuR'R'R across the abdomen which led to URoRRuR'R'R fleeing from the battle. Mara Jade then returned from the hut with the boys in pristine condition and Joshua gives them both a warm hug. Simultaneously the fight between Kenobi and Hett was sill under way and lasted for several minutes, with both men demonstrating the skills they had earned throughout their careers as Jedi. The duel, however, ended when Kenobi sliced off Hett's right arm, and tore off his Tusken wrappings—in the culture of the Tuskens, to expose any part of the flesh was forbidden and seen as a disgrace. Also, with only the use of one hand, Hett could not hope to wield the gaderffii, the traditional weapon of the Tuskens, and therefore could no longer be their warlord. Having witnessed their leader defeated and defaced at the hands of a stranger, the Tusken army left Hett to fend for himself in the desert. Now an outcast unable to return to his home, Hett asked Kenobi to kill him, thus giving him an honorable death in the traditions of the Tuskens. Even though Hett would not have hesitated to kill Kenobi, given the chance, Kenobi could not kill his old friend. Instead, Kenobi made Hett swear on the honor of his father that he would leave Tatooine and never return, hoping that Hett would see the error of his ways and again take up the Jedi way. As the battle reached its ultimate conclusion Obi-Wan and Owen are meet by Joshua, Mara Jade and their sons. On the ride home Joshua berates his children’s actions much to the chagrin of Ben who insisted that it wasn’t his fault that the Tuskens were there in the first place. As they argue back and forth Obi-Wan senses a great power in the young boy. When they arrive home after droping off Lars, at his house, Mara Jade exits the speeder and picks up the sulking Nat holding him in her arms. As they enter the house Joshua tells Ben to thank mister Kenobi for helping in his rescue as he leaves to give Obi-Wan a drink. When he returns he sees a sight that disturbs him, he tells Ben to get inside and goes to confront Kenobi who had tried to give Ben Dooku’s lightsaber. Joshua asked Kenobi “What the hell do you think you are doing?” Kenobi looks at Joshua and says “I was just giving your son your lightsaber, I mean you are going to train the boy aren’t you ?” Joshua tells Kenobi "No" and Kenobi now even more confused says “How could you come to that decision, you must feel his force potential as well” Joshua then tells Obi-Wan “Yes I felt it but I’d rather keep my son alive then have him become some damned foolish idealistic Jedi crusader that’s only future is death” Obi-Wan then said “is that how you truly feel about the Order Joshua” Joshua then yells “The Order you speak of is dead Obi-Wan! Move on!” Obi-Wan sighed and said then “I will train the boy” Joshua now growing increasingly frustrated with his old friend says “What do you not understand, Leave My Son Alone, you can have you own son and lead him to his death for all I care, but leave mine out of it” Joshua then turns around to leave, but Obi-Wan then says “I will train Ben with or without your consent” Joshua then says “No you will not” and points his blaster at his old friend. Obi-Wan then calmly looks at Joshua and say “I am not afraid of you Joshua” as Joshua pulls the trigger blowing a tusken raider, who flowed them to the Starwalker farm, head apart. Kenobi turned around and said he would take the body and burn it in the Dune Sea, to which Joshua replied, "I told them that I'd always keep them safe, and I will. Even if that means from you. You don't come back here. Understand?" Kenobi departed with the Tusken's corpse, speaking to Ben through the Force, assuring him "Don't worry. I'll be right here... even if you can't see me." As Joshua went back inside the house he forbade Ben and Nat from anymore adventures though that didn’t stop Ben from his wild crusades.

Raising a Rebellious Son
Over the next 10 years Ben became increasingly frustrated that Joshua would not allow him to leave Tatooine, and become a member of the Imperial Academy with Joshua claiming that he still needed help with the farm, even going so far that he told his eldest son "Look, I need a farm hand who will pitch in, not a son with his head in the stars half the time." However Nat listened and obeyed his parents without question Mara has even been known to say that “Nat is strong like his father: pragmatic and certain of his ways, grateful for simple joys and for his life on the moisture farm”. However upon Ben’s 19th birthday the purchase of two droids by Joshua, changed the Starwalker's life forever. With the discovery of a desperate message to Obi-Wan Kenobi contained within the astromech droid R2-D2, Ben leaves the farm to find Old Ben Kenobi hoping that he is related to Obi-Wan while also seeking adventure. However Ben neglects to tell his parents about his running off and they begin to get worried. Later that day the Starwalkers are visited by Imperial Stormtroppers. Joshua believes that the Empire has finally found him and goes to accept his fate. But to his surprise they question him about his purchase of the two droids R2D2 and C3PO. Joshua does a Jedi mind trick on the stormtroppers telling them “you have the wrong house, go home” they then apologize and do as commanded.

Searching for Ben
A few hours later Joshua prepares to mount a search party for his son, but as he opens the door he sees two Stormtroppers pointing their blasters at him. Joshua tries to do another Jedi mind trick but they are reminded of their task by Watto the junk dealer/human trafficker, who owns a shop in Mos Espa, Tatooine. Mind tricks has no effect on him. The Stormtroppers then become hostile as they notice Joshua is a Jedi. As they go to call in back up Joshua has no choice but to force grab Striker’s Vibrosword and strike them down however as they try to escape using their jet packs Joshua slices into them with a single slash. The Jet Packs go haywire and they both crash into the moisture vaporator. The explosion sends their charred remains back to the door steps of the Starwalker residence and Watto begins to fly away. However he is caught by Joshua and interrogated. Joshua demanded to know His son’s where abouts saying “Where is my son you steaming pile of bantha curd” Watto tells him that he has no Idea what he is talking about and laughs at Joshua saying “Stupid, Jedi how dare you ask questions to me as if I belong to you, I am Watto of Watto's Shop, I’ll die before I bow to an outsider”. Joshua then said “fine by me” and proceeded to motion his arm as if he was going to hack Watto’s head off. However Watto then complies saying “I’m kidding, I’m kidding. I saw your boy go east of the dune sea with two droids and a strange hermit around your age but a little older.” Joshua then releases and thanks him for the information, as he says to himself in an aggressive tone “Kenobi”. Joshua then rushes back inside the house and tells Mara Jade that Ben is with Obi-Wan on some damned crusade and say that they have to go find him before he gets himself killed. Mara asks where they can hide Nat until it’s over and Joshua tells her that they’ll drop him off at the Starkiller’s residence. As they drop Nat off as planned they search through Tatooine leading to Joshua and his wife tearing up half of Mos Entha, Mos Gamos, and Bestine, leading to the death of many imperials. When he reaches Mos Eisly he enters the Mos Eisley Cantina and he learns by the description of his son he gave to the bartender that Ben and Obi-Wan were looking for a pilot to get them off world. Joshua and Mara are distraught that their son was taken from him, and return to the Starkiller residence to collect Nat. However they see that the house has been destroyed, Mara and Joshua rush to the scene as Mara finds Nardom’s wife Lily, near death. Mara asks her what happened and Lily replies “Imperials…they took them…they took the boys…” she then died in Mara Jades arms as Joshua screamed a roar of defeat as he felt his own darkness creeping up on him, however he is calmed back down by Mara Jade who assures him that they will find their sons. Joshua with tears in his eyes then says to Mara “What would you have of me” she then tells Joshua that it is obvious that they will have to spilt up to find their missing sons who could possibly be galaxies apart by now. Joshua then looks her in the eyes and thinks to himself “How brave she must be I know that she wants to break down and collapse with me, but she stands there strong and certain for both our sakes” he then nods as she wipes his tears away they then kiss and head to their separate paths. Joshua follows Ben and Kenobi off-world but does not know where to start. For a years’ time he searched for Ben, hearing about a rebellion successfully putting a dent in the Empire’s efforts of expansion lead by a Jedi liberator known only as the “Bringer of Freedom”. Joshua is curious to see if that Jedi is Obi-Wan Kenobi but ultimately chooses to follow the lead he acquired on Dantooine, which told him that, by the description he gave of his son, Ben had become a rebel Lieutenant Commander who had destroyed Darth Vader’s Death Star. Joshua’s Intel also told Joshua that Ben was last seen on Hoth. Joshua does as directed and goes to the frozen barren world. Once there he sees the rebel base only it is destroyed and abandoned. Joshua feels his heart drop and rushes to the ravaged base. Once there he sees the frozen dead bodies of countless unrecognizable rebels and a tear rolls down his check as he continues into the main hangar, hoping for the best but prepared for the worst. When he enters the room, all he can see is destruction and frozen blood covered in the soft snow. He sees a hand sticking out of the white sea and hopes that is the sign of a survivor. However as he becomes closer he sees that the hand is disconnected from a body and loses hope however he notices something inside the hand and pries the lifeless fingers away braking two of them. He then sees that the object is a hilt to a saber…a curved hilt. He takes the hilt in his hands and crumbles to the floor screaming “BBBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” as tears flow down his face, his sadness turns to anger and he ignites the hilt and blue light silhouettes the left side of his face as he coldly whispers “Vader”. Joshua then finds a rebel beacon still operational and devises a plan for Vengeance. Joshua takes the beacon to his ship along with destroyed scrap metal he salvaged from the base. Joshua then pulled out his black wooden chest and set a course for Aargonar, a dusty, desert-climate planet, perfect for what he had in mind.

Final Good-Byes

====Once there he found a cave and situated himself inside for weeks, once out he ignited Dooku’s lightsaber and then brandished his newly repaired green crystal lightsaber. Joshua soon activated the beacon hoping Vader would intercept the signal and come to Joshua’s battle ground. However, before sending the signal he sent a message to his wife via holocomm, saying “I hope you get this massage my beloved wife…I…I found our Ben… and it appears that he has become one with the force…I know who struck him down and I will KILL Vader if it’s the last thing I do…and it just might be…time to see if George's training is gonna pay off...I hope it dose…I’m sorry I am putting you through this Mara, I love you, with all my very being…but I must avenge Ben the only way I know how…Save Our Son Mara you Have to Save him He May Be Our Only Hope…Good-Bye, I love You.” As Joshua wipes away the tears from his eyes, George appears for the first time in 20 years, and Joshua greets him with a warm smile saying “I know what you’re going to say George, but this time I do it my way, you been prolonging this too long, it’s time for this to end, this is what you trained me for, I won’t fail you". George then smiles at Joshua and says “I know you won’t…You’ve made me proud…It has been an honor knowing you Joshua, and it is finally time for us to say good-bye permanently, Your ready for this…Fight with you heart not your anger, leave your hate behind and you will seize victory this day and any other…Good-Bye My Dear Joshua” George then disappears and Joshua prepares for his final conflict.====

Joshua Vs. Darth Vader
As two hours pass Joshua sees a platoon of ships arrive a few meters away where he planted the beacon. He then reveals himself as he see Vader leave his flagship Executor and Joshua smiles as he looks on and looks down to a device in his hand and presses the button revealing the device is a detonator, as the Empire’s fleet on Aargonar is decimated. Its conclusion results in the survival of Vader unharmed and unaffected Joshua smiles and descends from his mountain, Meeting Vader face to face for the first time. Joshua then says “it’s been a long time chosen one” as Vader brandishes his lightsaber, Joshua unaffected simply looks at Vader in distain as all that is heard throughout the self-made battle zone is Vader breathing through his respirator and Joshua continues saying “You became the very thing you sought to destroy…I still remember the monster of your dreams and I’m staring at him. You disgust me, you have no honor, you kill the innocent, the weak, the defenseless, the women, the children, you take sons from their fathers…you took my son away from me…And I am here to tell you not one death will go unaccounted for…NOT ONE!!!!!!!!!” Joshua then brandishes Dooku’s saber and charges at Vader as Vader and Joshua clash lightsabers, Vader tells Joshua “You should have never returned” and disengages from the collision force blasting Joshua who in turn doges the blast and saber throws his lightsaber at Vader. Vader ducks under the oncoming attack and rushes at Joshua with the force. Joshua and Vader then collide again and Joshua yells to him “You shouldn’t have killed MY SON!”, Joshua then punches Vader in his mask hutting himself and Vader in the process. Joshua then attempts to slash Vader’s throat, but Vader manages to evade the attack, and almost capitalizes on Joshua’s opening, but he is able to parry Vader’s attack. Vader then pushes Joshua a few yards back and tells him “I don’t recall killing a Starwalker, but he did interfere with galactic affairs so he had to die as all who oppose the Empire do” Joshua then rushes at Vader screaming “HEARTLESS BASTARD!!!!!” and they engage once again. However Vader begins to overwhelm Joshua with his power, hacking at Joshua’s green crystal lightsaber until it fell from his hand, but Joshua then hit Vader in the eye of his helmet with the hilt of Dooku’s lightsaber and used the force to push the stunned Vader against a mountain wall. Joshua then proceeds to punch Vader’s mid-section in rapid succession until his knuckles bleed and his metallic hand begins to dent. At this point Joshua finishes his assault with a punch, knee, uppercut combo to Vader’s helmet rocking his head back into the mountain wall. As Vader drops to a knee Joshua force grabs Dooku’s lightsaber, but before he can attempt to strike, Vader preforms a powerful repulse wave and sends Joshua flying back. Before Joshua can get up he is force grabbed, and choked as Vader tells him “I’m going to make you suffer”. Vader then bring Joshua to him and he proceeds to uppercut Joshua’s solar plexus until Joshua was hacking up blood. He then dropped the battered Jedi and Joshua crumbled to the ground. As Vader prepared to leave thinking he had killed his opponent with his bare hands Joshua rises up and spits out blood saying “Where the Hell are you going…I’m not done with you yet” as he ignited Dooku’s saber and charges forward. Joshua and Vader then duel for several minutes effectively countering and dodging one another’s attack. However as George had anticipated Vader, due to his size and armor, had more difficulty countering and defending Joshua’s attacks as the battle waged on and Joshua found it easier to hold off the exhausted Vader's lightsaber with one of his blades, and cut into his helmet with the other. However Joshua knows that he is bleeding internally and doesn’t know how much longer he can keep up his fast pace. As they continue to battle Joshua gains more and more ground on his opponent, but is drained by his wounds. Joshua then decides to taunt Vader explaining to him how he was able to Master the classical double-bladed Niman style and revealed that it has been George’s grand plan all along and tells Vader “I’ve been preparing for this day for over 20 years!” as he slashes the abdomen of Vader and force pushes him away as the blow lands. Vader in turn begins to be enraged at the taunting of his adversary and fueled by his anger began to overpower the Jedi once again putting then weakened Joshua on the defensive and battering Joshua’s guard. Then knocks Dooku’s saber out Joshua’s hand however before it can touch the ground Joshua saber throws it back at Vader who catches it and throws it back at Joshua however he dodges it bending backwards in order to evade the decapitating maneuver, but preforms further harm upon him abdominal by doing so, and falls to his knees in pain. Vader hopes to capitalize on this opportunity but the lightsaber is stuck inside a mountain on the other side of the battle Zone. With Joshua injured and without his Niman style to gain back the advantage, Vader advances upon Joshua who in turn uses the force to force throw the destructed remains of the Executioner at Vader, along with a large array of other destroyed star cruisers. However Vader powers through every one of those obstacles and once passed the destruction Vader sees that Joshua is nowhere in sight. Vader shouts “Show yourself coward!” and Joshua appears in front of him and bombards Vader with Black Sith Lightning. As Vader collapsed in agony and in pain, Joshua then sees Vader’s skeleton through the armored suit and Joshua begins to berate Vader for his turn to the dark side reminding him of all those that believed in him, those that loved him, all for a false Emperor, and increased the power of the lighting. However Vader in an act of desperation manages to throw his saber cutting off the metallic hand of Joshua’s thus stopping the barrage of lightning. As Vader crawled away from Joshua, Joshua spat blood on the ground and said “Because of you My Darkness…My Hatred…Is Unending” and zapped Vader with lighting once more, but then stopped to force grab Dooku’s lightsaber. Vader then said to Joshua “you can’t win…you’re too weak…” As Joshua prepared to deliver the final blow to kill Vader he asked him “What could you hate enough to destroy me?” blood then gushes from Joshua’s mouth as Vader answerers “Myself.” and reveals Vader had been crawling to his lightsaber and took his lightsaber and stabbed it through his own body and into Joshua's damaging his own life-support circuits. As they both lay on the desert ground defeated and nearing death, the observing Yuzzem were executed by the newly-arrived Darth Sidious much to the shock of both Joshua and Vader. Vader then rises to greet his master but Vader was taken back by a suspiciously unsurprised Palpatine, who called out for his stromtroppers to assist Vader and bring the critically injured Joshua too him. As Vader was escorted off the battle zone the badly damaged Dark Lord could not help but suspect that the encounter was yet another test. The distrust between mentor and student, fed by years of such trials, grew.

Crucifixion
As Joshua is dragged to Palpatine he passes Vader and whispers “I…will…find…you” and passes out from his grievous wounds with Vader saying “I’ll be waiting”. Joshua is then awoken by a jolt of Sith Lightening sending the already battle damaged Jedi riveting in pain, Sidious then says “Listen up! You pathetic excuse of a warrior, usually I would torture then slowly kill you until you begged for me to end your miserable existence. But instead you shall be my first example, my symbol to all those that oppose the Empire. You shall serve as a beacon of Failure…you should blame your foolish brother for his traitorous actions against the Empire and it’s Emperor” Joshua then spits blood in the face of the Emperor who merely wipes it off and tells the Stormtropper commander “String him up”. Joshua is then crucified. His next moments are joyous, however, as he is hanging by the cross, he sees Eemilanko smiling at him and then envisions himself standing on the balcony of the Jedi Temple with the crowd of Coruscanti screaming his name as they did when he returned from the Clone Wars. He smiles and lets out one final battle cry. Just as Joshua is about to succumb to his wound closing his eyes and preparing to become one with the force, he hears the voice of someone he hadn’t heard from in almost 30 years shout “Get him down from there NOW” As Joshua opened his drained eyes to see if who he thought was out there really was he saw Elijah talking to Striker, upon this Joshua stared at them confused thinking that they were just one of his illusions and passes out.

Heartfelt Reunion
When he awakes Joshua finds himself in a medical center laying on a bed, he wonders how he got there and takes the IV out of his arm and nasal cannula out of his nose. Just then Joshua hears the door open and looks to see who it is, it is Striker and they have a warm reunion. Striker asks Joshua how he is feeling and Joshua says great as he wipes a tear before it could drop. Joshua then asks Striker “So tell me, what have you been up to these past years…how is the Watch.” Striker looks down and says “It really has been a longtime…The watch is dead, Malgus killed them the day that we were separated” Joshua then looks down and says “I’m sorry to hear that…How lonely you must have been-” “I felt abandoned…but I soon left after the death of commander Jace by Malgus who eventually found us on Tython.” Joshua shocked to hear the unfortunate news quickly asks if Satele is alright, to which Striker tells him “yeah she’s find physically but was pretty shaken up by the ordeal, I can still remember her saying Jace wouldn’t have died if you were still… well… among the living.” Joshua looks in disbelief and says “you thought I perished against Malgus?” and Striker told him “Since you never returned they all thought you and Mara perished in the battle, but I knew better, and after Satele disbanded the rebellion I joined a group of mercs to search for you. But what I found was more than I expected. I found an Exiled Jedi Master known as Ngani Zho who knew of my origins and told me of my past and my lineage.” Joshua with anticipation to know more tells Striker “well go head tell me what he said” Stiker then sighs and continues “He said that my Name is Theron Shan the son of Satele and Commander Jace…” there was sheer slince as Joshua begins to ask “how is that-” but Theron already knowing what Joshua is going to say interrupts him and informs his master “The accelerated ageing used to make the Clones seems to be an inheritable trait and I’ve got it or at least had it…I was able to find someone who found a cure before I turned as old as you” Joshua and Theron then laugh as he continues saying “After that, Master Zho got killed when he accompanied me on one of my missions…that was really rough on me but at least I got to spend some time with the man that raised me one last time…After that I left the mercenary business and became a bounty hunter, which eventually lead me here on Naboo once again in another rebellion hoping that it would bring me one step closer to you…for some reason I just had to know” Joshua concerned asks “know what?” and Theron tells him “I had to know why you left” Joshua then tells Theron “…Mara was pregnant with our first son Ben. She insisted on leaving the rebellion before Malgus attacked but I wouldn’t hear of it…but as you know Adumar fell and with it my hopes that our rebellion would succeed so I retired being a Jedi and left you with the best capable hands at the time…I’m sorry if you felt abandoned my friend, that was not my intent.” Theron the nodded to Joshua and asks Joshua for his forgiveness as he hands Joshua his lightsabers and Joshua asks “forgive what” and Theron replies “for ever doubting you” as he leaves the room. Soon after Joshua is greeted by his brother which off whom he had not seen in almost 30 years, Elijah then says “It is good to see you my brother” as he shed a few tears Joshua then doses the same as Elijah asks Joshua what he had been doing on Aargonar and where he has been all these time. Joshua then tells his brother “I’ve been on Tatooine living with my family as a moisture Farmer…a horrible occupation I know” they then both laugh and Joshua continues “As for your other question… let’s just say I had to take care of something you wouldn’t understand” Elijah sits down in the visitor chair and says “Try me” Joshua then abruptly tells his brother “I went to avenge my eldest sons death” Elijah then looks down and asks who killed him and Joshua coldly tells him “Vader”. Elijah asks him what happened back on Aargonar and Joshua tells Elijah “He’s a Monster of pure rage and Hatred that know no bounds.” Elijah asks “now what could he possibly hate enough to make you say that.” Joshua replies “Himself” they then just look at each other when a rebel comes inside the room and says “General there is someone here claiming to be his wife” Joshua then looks shocked and says “Mara”, upon hearing this Elijah tells the rebel to let them in. Joshua then sees Mara and Nat together and tears flow from his eyes as Mara kisses him passionately and desperately, Elijah prepares to leave his brother to his family but stays upon the insistence of Joshua who then makes formal introductions holding his son tightly by the hand as he introduces him to his uncle. As Elijah leaves he warmly embraces his youngest son whom he tells has gotten so strong over the year. Nat Smiles and says “I’ve missed you Dad…Hey, Tell me, where is Ben, I’ve asked Mom but she wouldn’t tell me.” Joshua then looks away and tears roll down his cheeks to which Nat asked “What…What is it, What’s wrong father” Joshua remains silent as Mara Jade also begins to cry. Nat then looks down at the ground and says “Tell me what’s wrong with my brother I can handle it…the past year of my life has been hell, I’ve been abducted by imperials, forced to fight in a gladiatorial arena, escaped and lived on Kashyyyk where I befriended feral Wookiees and a Jedi Master named Voolvif Monn who taught me how to survive off they land by teaching me the ways of the force and to hunt using my force abilities all to have Monn killed by the same Imperial who captured be on Tatooine and he put me and my Wookiee friends into hard labor and slavery. However I overcame that adversity and liberated my Wookiee companions and later killed commander Faie with Monn’s lightsaber receiving a returned shot to which I laid dying on the forest floor until Mom came and saved me from certain death so please tell me what happened to my brother” Joshua then tightly grabs his son’s hand and says “Ben was killed, murdered by a dark lord of the sith know as Darth Vader…I went to Aargonar to avenge him but I failed and was defeated by his hand…you’ve grown so much…I’m so sorry.” As they mourn and reunite for two hours Joshua and his family enter the Naboo Palace where he joins their gathering and meets the Warbound rebels, among them Satele Shan. Joshua and Satele embrace and are over joyed to see each other again. After Satele and Joshua catch up, he meets Bobby as they hug Bobby says “I knew those imperial meatheads couldn’t kill you” and Joshua said “though they never stop trying” and they laugh, as they catch up Joshua discovers that Bobby has become king of Haruun Kal uniting the Korunnai and the Balawai, resulting in the training of an entire planet of Jedi. As Bobby continues he tells Joshua that he then led a rebellion against the Empire with the help of Obi-Wan Kenobi, much to the confusion of Joshua who told Bobby that Obi-Wan took his son Ben on some damned crusade before his son unfortunately fell at the hands of Darth Vader. Bobby understands Joshua’s Frustration saying “I know Obi-Wan can be…well hard headed at times, once he puts his mind to something he does it…no matter what anybody says, he was so strong willed I couldn’t stop him from pursuing his chosen path and he took half of our forces to Coruscant…it’s weird he just hasn’t been the same since her death” Joshua shocked says “He did what!?” and Bobby says “He went to attack Coruscant as it was left practically unguarded.” Joshua then looks and shacks his head in disbelief, Bobby then continues saying “It’s as I said, he hasn’t been the same since her death” Bobby then looks in the distance and Joshua asks “who is this woman you speak off” Bobby then looks back at Joshua and says “the Duchess Satine Kryze, the mother of their son Jinn, she was killed by Vader when he first tried to strike Coruscant, after her death he left Jinn in my care returning occasionally but imposed himself in exile for the most part” Joshua then had an new understanding for Obi-Wan but before more could be discussed their wives come to them and formal introductions follow. Soon after they are greeted by Elijah and his family. Joshua is surprised to see Elijah’s wife is Senator Padmé Amidala, but nonetheless tells her “It’s an Honor to meet you Padmé” as she says “The honor is mine. Elijah has told me so much about you and your adventures together, it is nice to know that someone so close to him is still alive it truly warms the heart.” As they conclude their exchange of words Elijah address the gathered crowd informing the High Council that their meeting would soon commence and personally invites Joshua and Mara. At the Council meeting Elijah debriefs the Council on the situation Obi-Wan is in on Coruscant, and opts to gather every able body to participate on the reclaiming of Coruscant, to which everyone agrees including Joshua and Mara. When Elijah brings up the need for an extra ship Joshua informs the council that he “may know a guy” and the meeting adjourns promising to meet back here on Naboo in 5 days. Once outside Joshua finds Nat and tells him “There is something I must do and I could use your help” Nat nods in agreement and says “what do you need”, and Joshua replies “To find an old friend”. As they leave the safety of Naboo Joshua kisses his wife Good-Bye and Mara hugs her son tightly, they then journey into space when Nat asks his father where they are going Joshua tells him “I don’t know, but the force will guide us” they then journey though the vast darkness of Space until they landed on the planet Arkinnea. When Nat ask Joshua what he is tracking Joshua tells him “you’re tracking a male Whiphid Jedi Master who is my oldest friend. He shouldn’t be that hard to find” after three hours of searching they come across a Hidden Temple. Joshua and Nat enter the Temple and are met by Jedi to their surprise which of whom point sabers at their throats. A Whiphid then comes crashing down as a thud is heard across the room. The Whiphid then tells the intruders “You Are Not Welcomed here LEAVE NOW!!!!!” Joshua then removes his hood as he says “Now is this any way to treat an old friend” the Whiphid then says “Joshua is that really you” and Joshua says “Yes K'Kruhk it’s me”. K'Kruhk then tightly hugs his childhood friend as he lifts Joshua off the ground. Joshua then struggles to say “It’s nice to see you to buddy but could you loosen up a bit” the previously hostile Jedi then begin to laugh as does Nat. K'Kruhk then apologizes as he releases Joshua to which he desperately gasps for air. K'Kruhk then introduces the Jedi as his padawan learners and Joshua introduces his companion as his youngest son. K'Kruhk and Joshua then catch up with one another to which Joshua informs K'Kruhk that he is in a rebellion going to sack Courscant and is in dire need of a ship. K'Kruhk then says I’ll give you one better, I’ll give you a Ship and an able body”, suggesting himself. Joshua asks K'Kruhk if that is such a good idea as he has so much to lose but K'Kruhk then tells his old friend “I’m tired of hiding I want to keep these children safe and the only way to do that is to rid this galaxy of Imperial Trash” Joshua smiles at his childhood friend and nods his head as they embrace as Jedi. K'Kruhk continues saying “I can’t wait to fight by your side again” and Joshua says “The same my old friend.” As they begin to leave the Hidden Temple K'Kruhk informs his eldest Padawn Chase Piru that she was to lead in his stead and tells the rest of them that incase he perishes in battle Chase Piru would lead them permanently. They cry and beg their master to stay but he tells them to be strong and soon Joshua, Nat and K'Kruhk Journey back to Naboo along with K'Kruhk’s Star fighter. Once back on Naboo they are greeted by the rebels including Elijah which of whom has something new upon his face Joshua asked Elijah what it was and he said “It’s my Qukuuf” Joshua then says “oh…that’s Cute” mockingly. Soon after as night falls upon the rebel base Joshua walks into the Council chambers as Elijah and Bobby are having a privet meeting as Generals. Bobby doesn’t agree with Elijah’s current battle strategy and thinks that they should have a group flank the imperials from behind so that they are attacking them from both sides. Elijah agrees but wanting Joshua to feel more involved asks him what he thought of the idea. Joshua says “honestly I think an attack on Coruscant in itself is preposterous and extremely idiotic. I’m just happy to be with my family and if their final destination is Coruscant then I will follow them on final Gambit. I will embrace my fate and hope to embrace victory at battles end.” Elijah then tells Joshua that for them to be victorious then Joshua would have to do more than just embrace it, he would have to lead. Joshua replies “an old argument Elijah” as he turns to exit the council chambers. Elijah says to Joshua that they must now settle the argument and that there is no one more qualified to be a leader in this rebellion than him. Joshua then answers “the last time I led in battle I led my soldiers straight to their death.” Bobby then offers Joshua some words of wisdom saying that he needs to let go of the past. After this Joshua turns to Elijah and asks him “What would you have me do?” Elijah replies “the impossible”, Joshua then extends his hand to embrace Elijah as brothers. Elijah complies and they look at Bobby who then puts his hand on their arms as the three embrace as Jedi Brothers. Elijah then adjourns this impromptu council meeting telling them to enjoy the night because in the morning they go to war. He then lays one last time with Mara. She remarks that if he were to fall in battle freedom from the Empire will mean nothing without him with her. He then states that “the Force did not deliver me to save you, but guided me to you so that you could save me”.

Battle of Courscant
Following their farewell with those too old or too young, the rebels head off to Courscant for one final assault. Once they leave hyperdrive the rebels are met by a blockade of Imperial Starships. Elijah sends out a message via holocomm to have those capable in Starfighting abilities send to dispatched to deal with the blockade. Mara voluntaries along with Striker, Joshua Hugs them both and tells them to be safe. Joshua and his remaining squadron then disengage the rest of rebels who are heading east, and move toward the western position upon Joshua command. As they route around Joshua is surprised and relived to see that the imperial force are not guarding the Western entrance to the planet. As Joshua and his Squadron enter the atmosphere they are once again bombarded with fire from imperial ground troopers by their blaster cannon. They are soon taken out of the sky and crash land. The Imperials report to the Emperor that the flanking Rebel attack had been thwarted. When Joshua regains his senses from the crash land he looks at the clock on the broken dashboard of the cockpit, and says “Damn we’ll never make it in time”. Joshua then staggers up and he assembles the vast majority of survivors and head into the heart of Courscant. However they are met with patrol guards and have to fight their way through as quickly and as quietly as possible. However Joshua soon realizes the difficulty of hiding a little short of 75,000 rebels and is soon thrusted into battle yet again. Joshua and his rebels end up fighting their way through the Imperials and eventually make their way to the battle in front of the ruins of the Jedi Temple already taking place. Joshua commands his army of Nat, Satele, and K'Kruhk, along with their remaining 74,500 rebels to “Attack!!!” they then all charge into the battle capitalizing on their surprise advantage. As they battle Joshua commands his forces to stop the Imperial Walkers as he deflects two force adapts’s red crystal Lightsabers. As he continues to take out 6 more Stormtroppers he sees two of the eight Imperial Walkers go down. Joshua then commands his troops to commandeer the Imperial Walkers and shoot down the imperials ground army. They comply and Joshua remaining force advance overwhelming the Imperials. Joshua then sees Nat begin to be surrounded and helps his son brake free force pushing the encircling force adepts away and helps his son up. They then continue back to back repelling the Imperial forces together. As they are set freed by the overtaken Imperial Walkers they press on, however as they kill more and more Imperial force it seems as if their numbers double. Joshua then sees and Imperial stormtrooper throw a grenade at one of the last remaining overtaken Imperial Walkers killing creating a massive explosion. As the dust clears Joshua sees a double-bladed red saber. Joshua looks in horror as he whispers to himself “it cannot be” Joshua then moves forward but is stopped dead in his tracts as he sees what he cannot believe…Darth Maul. Revived and returned he grins at Joshua and quickly turns it into a scowl as he coldly says “Missed Me”. Joshua then looked on in Maul’s fiery eyes and saw death starring back at him. Just then Joshua is almost beheaded by a force adept who looked very similar to Maul and wielded the same double bladed lightsaber. Joshua then engaged the powerful Dathomirian Zabrak force adept as he introduced himself as Savage Opress, Darth Maul’s brother and apprentice. As Joshua and Savage continue to engage each other Joshua notices Satele interlocked in battle with Maul who seems to have grown more powerful than ever before. Joshua then notices Imperial Snipers picking his army apart as more Imperials flank them. Joshua battles Savage along with another force adept who attempt to overwhelm the powerful Jedi Master, but Nat stabs the force adept in the neck and out of the throat with his viberodagger. Savage then tries to slash Nat with his other extended blade but Nat manages to evade the attack and tackles Savage to the ground. Joshua then saw a sniper pointing at his son and threw Dooku’s saber into the would be assassin as he deflected another blast from a Stormtropper sending the blast right back to the solider with his green crystal lightsaber. Joshua soon felt Maul again and looked up to where he last saw Maul and Satele fighting. Joshua then saw Maul hit the Jedi Grandmaster in the face with his weapon's long hilt, stunning Satele; Maul then quickly impaled her through the abdomen with the reverse edge of his saber as he coldly looked into Joshua eyes and smiled diabolically. Joshua felt his heart drop as Maul took the saber out of her and she flopped to the ground. Joshua rushes toward them as he goes through a slew of Imperial Force Adepts and soldiers, but while Joshua is battling, Maul picks up her lightsabaer and is put on the defensive as his becomes overwhelmed by Korunnai Jedi. Joshua rushes to Satele and holds her dying body in his arms. Joshua with tears coming rolling down his cheeks says “Stay with me, Satele…come on don’t do this…don’t leave me.” Satele then tells Joshua “I…feel…cold…hold me…as you did when we were young and naïve” Joshua then hugs her as tightly as he can asking her “Do you remember all the kids we said we were going to have” she then faintly replies “…yes…” and Joshua continues saying “we were going to have eight children, four girls and four boys…you were going to train four and I was going to train four…we were going to be the first Jedi family” Satele then says “…in…another…life” and Joshua agrees saying the same as he feels her body fall limp. Joshua is then shot by a blaster in the shoulder as he repeats her words again and kisses her on the check. Joshua then slowly lays her down and is shot yet again, to which Joshua turns around and decapitates the shooter. Joshua then goes after Maul seeing he survived his skirmish with the Korunnai, and charged screaming “MMMMMMAAAAAAUUUULLLLLLL” as they collide Sabers. As Joshua and Maul engage Joshua attempts to slash Maul across the throat with Dooku’s Saber but Maul evades the attack and grabs the Joshua’s forearm as he attempts to slash Joshua across the mid-section but he is successfully parried by Joshua’s other lightsaber. Maul then force pushes Joshua who in turn tires to slice his jugular with both sabers, but Maul manages to duck underneath and rises up trying to slice Joshua in half with the reverse blade of his saber. However Joshua successfully blocks the vicious assault with both of his lightsaabers and they then commences their duel, with both showing exceptional skill deflecting and countering each other’s attack. Joshua then starts to overwhelm Maul putting him on the defensive with a barrage of attacks using the ancient art George taught him, ending his flurry with a stiff kick to Maul’s solar plexus. Joshua is then meet with force adepts which he kills, meanwhile Maul roars and returns to the fight force pushing the other Imperials away. However as they continue to battle Jedi interfere taking on Maul separating Joshua from his opponent as he is too overwhelmed by Imperial Forces, which vastly outnumber the rebels. As Maul makes quick work of Bobby’s right hand Kojo, he notices Joshua battling the large plotoon and charges toward him and once behind him roars letting him know that he is there, as Joshua turns around infuriated as he knows that the Rebellion as failed engages Maul again as the Imperials circle them. Before they can collide sabers Maul grabs Joshua’s thrusting forearm and elbows his arm fracturing it and continues to elbow Joshua in the head. Joshua then deflects Mauls next attack and hits him with the hilt of his saber, and as Maul backs away a force adept attempts to attack Joshua who in turn is killed. As the force adept’s body hits the floor the encircling crowd begins to attack the broken Joshua all at once as Maul looks on smiling, knowing Joshua was soon to reach his end. Joshua is then slash across the chest and as he backs up is force pushed forward and he kills another force adept, in which another slices Joshua across the back of his leg sending him to a knee. However Joshua valiantly continues to fight from a grounded position roaring with every strike he delivers though the power behind them has fled and they are all easily deflected. He continues until a force adept knocks the lightsaber out of the drained Joshua’s hand. As Joshua sits their kneeling in defeat, he hears Maul roar “HOLD!” as the force adepts separate to create a path for Maul. As Maul comes closer to Joshua he picks his head up and looks at Maul unafraid kneeling tall and defiant till the end. Maul then smiles as he readies his lightsaber to pierce the heart of Joshua saying “too long have I waited for this moment…Now you die Jedi” and he begins to thrust his saber.

Unexpected Savior
However before Joshua is impaled through the chest Maul is zapped with red force lighting and Joshua hears a voice above him saying “Take my hand” Joshua notices the familiarity of the voice as says to himself “Ben” as he reaches for the hand with his good arm. As they connect arms Joshua looks up to see his son and is overjoyed by the sight. As they are being lifted by Ben’s ship he smiles at Maul with disbelief as he takes his broken arm and manages to stick his middle finger at Maul while painfully force grabbing his two sabers back. Maul extremely angered Roared saying “AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGAAAAA… I WILL FIND YOU!!!...I WILL FIND YOU!!!!!!!!!!!” Joshua is then lifted on to the ship and he hugs his son as tight as he can who warmly hugs him back. As Joshua looks down at the battle field he sees his fellow rebels being rounded up, though Ben’s extraction squad tires to liberate them, the Imperial forces are still too numerous and only a few make it out. As Joshua looks down to the area Satele’s body last laid he becomes disappointed in himself for being unable to avenge her murder but is pleased to see her body no longer remains to this world and she has become one with the force. However this realization also brought Joshua dire panic as he searched the ship with his eyes and then asks Ben “Where’s Nat, Where’s Nathan, Ben!” Ben then looked at his father shocked and said “Nat is here?!!!?!” Joshua nodded and searched the battle field using the force to find his son. He thankfully found him but he was in the middle of an encircling Imperial crowd much like Joshua was. Ben then jumped to action to the surprise of Joshua who was about to spring into the huddle. Joshua then sat down to rest observing his son who had a new type of fearlessness to him. As Ben landed in the middle of the crowd. He ignited his own custom made green crystal lightsaber and stopped Savage Opress’s lightsaber from striking Nat. As Savage looks on confused he says “Who are you” and Ben coldly looks at him and says “I am Jedi Knight Ben Starwalker” Savage then laughs at the introduction and attempts to strike Ben down however Ben manages to deflect the assault and strikes Savage’s hilt in half. Savage then jets in a Jar’Kai stance and says “you…I’m going to enjoy braking your bones” Ben then smiles and says “Some other time” as he grabbed Nat and force Jumped to the ship. Joshua then looks at his sons reunited and smiles passing out from his injuries. When he awakes he finds himself inside a Bacta Tank, inside he notices that his once fractured arm is now fine and feels the left eye of his face but he then notices that it is still burned and he is still blinded. Joshua then leaves the Bacta Tank and journeys out of the Rejuvenation chamber though the medical staff insist that he stay for more treatment. As Joshua is confronted by the doctors he asks them where he is and a voice heard in the back says “you’re on Endor sir.” Joshua turns around confused and continues forward shaking his head saying to himself “What the Hell am I doing on Endor”. As he makes it down the long white hall he sees a person turn down the corner and finds Ben staring back at him saying “it’s been a long time father” and Joshua looks at him with a fatherly smile saying “too long” they then start talking at the same time both of them saying “I thought you were Dead” Joshua looks at Ben bewildered as says “What?!”and Ben says “when I got home I saw the house and the farm destroyed with soldering carcasses at the door steps. I went upstairs but I couldn’t find Nat so I assumed that he had been vaporized or taken. So I joined Obi-Wan…what did you think happened”. Joshua then tells Ben the events that took place that fateful day and tells Ben that he thought Ben ran away to join Obi-Wan on some Damned-fool crusade because he wanted so desperately to escape” Ben then said “I could never leave you guys your my family, but I’ve been wondering why didn’t you tell me you were a Jedi, why didn’t you ever train me…I mean you must have known I am force sensitive Master Skywalker said that my force potential is even higher that his and he’s the strongest Jedi I’ve ever seen or Sith for that matter. Joshua then says “’I didn’t tell you because me and your mother decided that in order to best protect you and Nat was to hide you from the empire, we had to hide our true selves so nobody could inform the Empire of our presence, My real name is Joshua not Priest, but most importantly I am and always will be your father.” Ben then looks in the distance and says “so everything I knew was a lie” and Joshua quickly reassures Ben saying “No! The love and care me and your mother provided was all real…we did everything in the better purpose of protecting you and your bother that’s why we didn’t train you two, because I knew that if you knew that you had the power oppose the hell the Empire put us through you would and it seems I was right” Joshua then admires Ben’s decorated uniform and says “it appears you’ve served your cause with honor and by doing so you’ve made me proud son…so tell me what’s your rank” Ben then proudly says “Lieutenant Commander of the Rebel Alliance” Mara Jade then comes from a round the corner and puts her hand on Ben’s shoulder saying "I don't think that’s what he meant” as she continued into Joshua’s arms and the kiss passionately while holding her by the waist. Ben then realizes what his father meant and said “I am a Jedi Knight, like my father before me” Joshua and Mara smile and Joshua says “you’ve done good son real good, but who is this Master Skywalk-” Joshua then realizes that the Skywalker he spoke of must be Vader and Padme’s son as that was the only person Anakin ever loved. Joshua then hears Ben speak saying “Master Luke Skywalker, is the son of Vader and was raised and trained by him, but he has also been taught how to be a Jedi by Masters Rahm Kota and Yoda-” Joshua’s eyes lite with surprise by the name and exclaimed “Master Yoda is hear!” but to Joshua’s disappointment and sadness Ben informs his father that Yoda died upon completion of Luke’s training. Joshua then expressed sympathy for Luke having to grow up being raised by a monster. Joshua is then surprised to be greeted by Luke who comes to inform them that a meeting is being placed in the village. Joshua and his wife then make pleasantries with their son’s Jedi Master and join them in the meeting being informed that Nat is already there. Once there Joshua, Mara ,and Ben meet up with their family while Luke walked into the crowded village square to address the anxious crowd gathered. Luke looked up at the overwhelming rebels and Ewoks and began to speak saying " I've called this meeting to address the rumors of the Empire tracking us since we left Imperial Center and knowing about our current location. The rumors are in fact true, meaning that they on their way as we speak, and in no doubt be here by the rising sun. But make no mistake I promised each one of you that here, on Endor, we would make our last stand, no more running, no more hiding. Because honestly I'm tired, and I know all of you are too. Over these past months that you've been under my leadership you have put your very lives on the line not just for me, not just for your squadron, but for the cause, for the idea that we may one day live in a Empire free eutopia, people that once lived that stand among you in the form of the God of War, the Bringer of Freedom, and the Doctore of Jedi, as well as general Rahm Kota. So believe me when I tell you Freedom is there, Take It, It's Yours !!!" Luke then continued as the roaring crowd simmered down saying "Now, as most of you know our source inside the Empire tells us that the second Death Star is not yet operational which means that it will be heavily guarded with battleships and a shield generator located here on Endor. The generator will be defended by Imperials and Dark-Force Adepts along with the four Dark Lords of the Sith, Darth Malgus, Darth Maul, Darth Stalker, and the most powerful of them all Darth Vader...I believe in you guys, You Know what to do. May the Force be with us all".

Joining The Rebel Alliance
After, Joshua, Ben, Elijah, Bobby, Nat, Mara, and Jaina joined Luke in a Jedi only meeting with the exceptions of Elijah's son Han, Princess Leia, and his brother's best friend Chewbaca. The War Council discussed the battle strategy both above and on Endor, Bobby was to lead the air strike while Joshua, Elijah, and Luke lead the battle front from the left, right, and middle positions respectively. When it was time to discuss who would face Vader, Joshua was uncharacteristically quite. Joshua's mind was preoccupied on thought of Maul and his return, but every time the name of Vader would come up Joshua felt a darkness hover over him. In his fight with Vader Joshua knew he was dangerously closer to the darkside than he had ever been, Joshua knew that one had to die, he knew he was dealing with absolutes, something only a sith would do. Joshua never wanted to go to that level of uncontrol again, but as his brother and Luke continued to argue Joshua saw a man willing to kill for his wife, and a Son willing to kill his own father for the sake of the cause. Joshua felt that he had no stake in the discussion, his son was alive and that is what mattered most to him. However Joshua knew that they all must band together as one, He knew he had the blueprint to defeat Vader and though wanting to separate himself from the darkness Vader had put into his soul, he knew he had to do it, if no one else was willing. As he began to rise from his seat to announce his decision Elijah compromised with Luke promising him 10 minutes before he would purse a confrontation with Vader. Joshua sat down satisfied that he now only had one thing to think about...Maul. As the meeting was adjourned Joshua began to ponder his ranks and whom he would chose as the second in command of his army, he had many candidates such as his wife, his two sons, Theron, and K'Kruhk. After much meditation and mental deliberation Joshua choose Theron, and went to tell him. When he found Theron he sensed great anger in him, He went to console his friend. They talked about Satele's final moments and Joshua lied to Theron telling him that her final words were about Theron. Theron confides in his former master telling him how he wished he had the opportunity to have more time with her, and that he yearned to see his childhood love Kaena, and contemplated going abandoning the rebellion. Joshua looked at Theron and he saw so much of his younger self in him. Joshua then tells him “I know exactly how you feel, I almost left the order to be with your mother, when I was young and in love. But she wouldn't let me, she wouldn't let me abandon my dream of becoming the greatest Jedi of any era, so I won't let you. I need you by my side, you are the only one that knows my battle strategy inside and out, the only one I trust fully to lead as my second and in my place if I were to fall in battle. With out you by my side our rebellion will fall, the Empire will win and they will colonize the entire universe including Kaena's planet if they haven't done that already...Theron I promise you if we survive, win or loss, I will help you reunite with her. Join me, one last time.” Joshua then extends his arm to embrace as Jedi and after some contemplation Theron embraces Joshua agreeing. Joshua then went to the cabin his family was located in and they all embrace as a family for the first time in over a year. As the hour of battle grows ever closer the boys decide to rest, while Joshua and Mara stay up a while longer and reminisce. Mara reminds Joshua of the first time they met, while he insists that he could never forget. He tells her that he remembers everything from their first kiss till their last. Mara unconvinced tells him to prove it. Tears roll down both their faces as they masked them with a smile, Joshua then tells her “in exactly 2 hours, 4 minutes, and 31 seconds it will be our anniversary” as they wipe the tears from each others eyes Mara tells him “You know if I had it my way we would be galaxies away from here as soon as we had Nat and Ben back, but I would never again ask you to leave another cause, especially one this pivotal.” Joshua kisses her and tells Mara “You changed me, years ago I wouldn't care if I fell in battle, as long as I served the order to the best of my abilities, my life was as good as forfeit. But ever since I first laid eyes on you, I fear death, I fear to never see your face again...fear, is something a Jedi cannot allow,I love you so much I can't bare the thought of losing you. If anything were to happen to you or our sons I know I’d lose control, take them and leave now, I beg you, save your selves.” Mara then softly lifts Joshua’s sunken head and reassuringly tells him “we will do no such thing, if we are to fall we shall fall together. I will not leave this world parted from you so easily.” Joshua then kisses her passionately and tells her “The heavens them selves could not keep me parted from you” they then make passionate love. Mere hours later Dawn Strikes.

Battle of Endor
As Joshua stands in front of of his squadron of rebel soldiers, he turns toward them and addresses the nervous men and woman that stood before him, a grand army of the republic. He began to speak “Today, in mere minutes fate will come barging through our doors, it will look each and everyone of us in our eyes and speak to our very soul as it tells us: you're time has come; we will say no, fore we alone choose our fate, we alone will not falter, will not wavier from our desired task. Until the last man, till the last lightsaber,till the last blaster, we fight ! We WILL FIGHT, fore we do not battle for ourselves here, not any of us. We fight for the person standing beside you, I fight for each and everyone of YOU !!!” the crowd roars as Joshua continues “Today our might will know no end, we will strike with such fierce determination that the heavens them selves will open through it's ominous clouds, and shine upon us, as we smite the evil that tries to reign yet another blow upon us, we will face the Sith in open combat, this will be the last battle...Let Us end it, let us go home as to be with our wives, husbands, and children, free of tyranny...Let Us fight one final time, I ask each and every one of you raise your lightsaber, and your blasters, ignite them, blast them; for freedom, as the Sith come we will shout: you may take our lives, but you will not take our FREEEDOOOMM!!!!!” the Rebels roar with overwhelming vigor, and chant “FREEDOM!” as a sea of red light appears before them. Joshua, Elijah, and Luke then all rise their lightsabers, to which all the Jedi do. They then all have the rebels with blasters form the front line as Luke gives the signal to fire at will, this process continues until, the Sith begin to charge in and get into the rebels, close combat, range. The three leaders then brake off as Joshua ignites Dooku's lightsaber and points it at the Sith battalion heading their way. Joshua then looks at Theron and says “May the force be with us”as he begins the charge shouting “For Freedom!” as the rebels roar following. The Jedi and Sith armies then clash. As Joshua becomes enraptured in the ensuing battle he hears Maul shout to his army “None Shall Survive !!!!”. Joshua then slays three consecutive force adepts and an oncoming Stormtrooper, before he gets distracted by Theron roaring Maul's name as he attempts to move forth toward the Phantom Menace himself. Joshua and K'Kruhk then follow in hot pursuit. Theron arrives first and he questions Maul about the death of his mother whom Maul refers to as the “Jedi Whore” Theron angered by Maul's words begins to attack but he is ambushed by 4 adepts and postponed from his revenge. K'Kruhk then attacks Maul next but his saber is easily deflected and the two get into a power struggle, Joshua on the other hand has to stop 6 more Stormtroopers from interfering in Theron and K'Kruhk's separate skirmishes. As it appears K'Kruhk over powers Maul, the elusive Sith Lord gives the Whiphid Jedi Master a spinning back kick to the jaw, stunning him. Maul then goes in for the kill as he readies the latter part of his lightsaber and activates it. However Joshua barley manages to deflect it as he says “not this time” with a look of fierce determination. The two then break away from each other and Joshua looks at Maul disgusted by the snarl he gives as he paces back and forth. Joshua then states "You know, when I cut you in half, I should have aimed for your neck instead." Maul then stops pacing, looks Joshua in his eyes and coldly says “Today...you Die”they then give one another a sinister look as they charge forth and clash. Joshua and Maul then battle viciously against one another, and although neither can truly gain an edge between the other in the lightsaber duel, Maul manages to catch Joshua with an array of punches and kicks incorporated within his dueling style. However, even with Joshua bruised he remains unaffected and presses onward. Joshua then deflects Maul's next 6 attacks as he times his strike and uncoils to slash Maul across the chest. Maul evades but is trip kicked; Joshua seeing this as a golden opportunity then prepares to pounce on the downed Sith but Maul springs back up, mule kicking Joshua on the jaw and sending him reeling. Joshua however manages to block the oncoming twirling back kick and just escapes the reverse edge of his Saber. Joshua then attempts to slash Maul across the throat but instead slashes Maul's arm as he uses it to block the oncoming attack. Maul then backs away from his arch-nemesis and growls at the severe burn on his arm, he then rips off the torn sleeve and they commence. Back and forth they fought until Joshua finally managed to cut Maul's saber in half and force pushes him inward toward Maul's own army. Maul now flying through the air notices a stormtrooper on a speeder coming toward him. Maul then flips over and mule kicks the Stormtrooper off of the speeder; Joshua then looks astonished as Maul tells his brother “Savage your in charge” and flees before his very eyes. However Joshua would then be shot in the leg by Maul who grabbed the gun out of the holster. Maul then shouts “Come on Jedi” Joshua then stops a speeder in mid motion coming straight at him. Joshua places the speeder down and then force throws the Stormtrooper. He then boards the speeder and charges after Maul. Seeing Joshua leave the battleground Theron takes over full command and places K'Kruhk as his second. Joshua manages to catch up rather quickly and saber throws Dooku's Lightsaber at Maul which knits him on his left cheek. The two then stand up on the speeder and battle at overwhelming amounts of speed. Joshua begins to outclass the now frustrated Sith, who attempts to force push Joshua off of the speeder, Joshua however evades the force blast, but the speeder is then shot down by Maul. Joshua in an act of desperation then force jumps from his destroyed Speeder to Maul; Maul then back-flips away from the Speeder as it crashes into a tree. The ensuing explosion then catapulted them in opposite directions. Joshua now discombobulated feels numbness in his right arm and looks at it, to which he sees he has suffered 3rd degree burns. Joshua then removes his smoldered shirt and takes a deep breath inward, as he sighs “I'm too old for this Shit”he then staggers up and begins to limp toward the crash site as he looks for his now missing lightsabers. As Joshua approaches the destroyed Speeder he is almost taken out by a flying kick powered by the force. Joshua just manages to maneuver out of the way, and looks behind him to see Maul; the two then rush at each other unarmed and bare handed. Maul quickly takes the advantage as he opens the brawl with a front kick, followed by a three punch assault, putting Joshua on the defensive. Joshua however then connects with an overhand right followed by an underhand left uppercut sending Maul to a knee. Joshua proceeds to grab Maul by his cranial horns and continually knees his face, until Maul force pushes Joshua away. Maul then rushes at Joshua with the force and as Joshua propels himself to land upward, Maul attacks Joshua with a twirling back kick to his chest, sending Joshua further until landing on his back where he skids across the forest floor. Maul then force jumps into the air and prepares to preform a crushing kick to Joshua's mid-section. However Joshua rolls out of the way and gives Maul a head kick stunning the Sith Lord, Joshua then blocks Maul's wild spinning back-fist and gives Maul a stern right hook to the ribs. Maul crumbles to a knee and Joshua grabs Maul once again by his cranial horns on his left side and begins to elbow Maul 8 consecutive times, delivering the last elbow with such force that some of Maul's cranial horns broke off. As he laid on his back, Joshua pounced on Maul preparing to stab him with one of his own horns. However Maul successfully reversed that and mounted the Jedi Master, to which he beat upon him savagely. With Joshua all but lifeless, Maul rose from his dominate position and began to scan the area for his lightsaber. Joshua however then rose behind Maul, face bloody and determined, he spun the unaware Sith around and gave him a punch, knee, uppercut, combo. Joshua then limps toward Maul and whispers to him self “He...has..to..die” he continues to limp toward his downed foe, and extends his hand forth. A barrage of black lightning soon comes forth and strikes Maul. To Joshua's surprise Maul with stands the immense amount of pain and manages to shrug the crippling attack off, and counters Joshua with a powerful force blast; Joshua goes flying and Maul drops to a knee exasperated from the battle. As Joshua crashes his left side into a tree, he spits out blood and drops to the forest floor, he recognizes that his ribs are broken but still attempts to stand. As he struggles to a knee and spots something shine in the light, he crawls toward it and spots Dooku's lightsaber. He picks it up and briefly surveys the area for his lightsaber but does not find it. He then stumbles to his feet and ignites the lightsaber. Joshua then walks forward and doesn’t stop walking until he is back to Maul and their personal battle zone. There he sees Maul picking up his own lightsaber and he begins to walk back to the battlefield. Joshua however stops him,asking “missed me” as he spat blood from his lips and smiled. Maul gave an expression of pure shock and says to himself “but how, I threw him at full force into a tree, how can he still be alive!?”Joshua then laughed saying “ So the mighty Sith does know fear ?” Maul then states "Fear. Fear attracts the fearful… the strong… the weak… the innocent… the corrupt. Fear. Fear is my ally." Joshua looks at him with a stern scowl as Maul continues "But you on the other hand... are very afraid. I see passed your foolish bravado Jedi. Yet even with your immanent death by my hand, you do not fear me, but you fear for the safety of your precious rebels, such as the Jedi whore for example. Empty them from your mind; There is no Palpatine. No Empire. No Jedi. There is no light, no dark...just you and I, here, now!" Joshua then looks at Maul with evil intent in his eyes and walks forth. Maul then gives a sinister smirk as he walks toward the oncoming Joshua. The Jedi Master and Sith Lord then clash. The furious duel is evenly matched until Joshua remembers George's final words and uses Vaapad to release the hatred from his heart, immersing himself in the light. Joshua then severed Maul's right arm. Maul summoned his weapon to his left hand and turned to face Joshua, only to find himself facing the Jedi's lightsaber emitter. However Joshua hesitated to execute his helpless opponent, and merely asked him “Do you yield ?” Maul then let out a powerful force scream, and Joshua struck down the Phantom Menace, stabbing Maul through his open mouth. Maul then falls back lifeless and Joshua is soon to follow. He looks up at the sky and Theron soon appears over him. Joshua smiles and he is helped up, by his former Padawan and best friend. Theron gives Joshua his missing lightsaber and puts Joshua's arm around his shoulder, he then takes a good look at Maul. Theron then ignites his Darksaber and decapitates the dead Darth Maul. Theron then escorts Joshua back to the Battle field where they hear the cheer of the Rebels as they see the Imperial's retreat. Everyone then looks up to the sky as the Imperial star-ships explode lighting up the Endor sky, one after the other. Joshua and Theron are then joined by a surviving Ben, Nat, K'Kurhk and Mara Jade. Joshua lets go of Theron and kisses his wife as tears of joy run down both of their faces...finally the Empire has fallen.
