Star Wars: The Clone War Chronicles/ Chapter 10: A Princess is Born

19 BBY

Character: Leia Organa

“Leia…” a weary voice spoke. “Her name is Leia.” Padme’s vocals were practically impaired due to Anakin’s immense powers against her. Obi-Wan Kenobi held Padme’s babies as if they were his own. Luke and Leia cried hysterically as Queen Amidala breathed her final two breaths. Leia grabbed Kenobi’s beard and forcefully tugged at it, but the Jedi master was distracted in his own consternation. The medical droids devoted all of their energy in saving the once beloved and powerful queen of the Republic, but she was no more.

A few solar months after the tragic physical death of Padme Amidala and mental death of Anakin Skywalker, Bail Organa and Patrick Rahr on Alderaan were placed in charge of hiding and aiding Leia. Bail acted as the adopted father whilst Patrick being her defender and backup caretaker. Rahr messed around with Leia and she commenced to giggle. “Upsy daisy! Upsy daisy!” Rahr fooled.

Bail raced on over to the pink-headed starfish. “What on Coruscant are you doing??” He loudly whispered.

“What?” Rahr replied.

“You don’t do that to a three month young baby! She’ll get sick!”

“Oh, I get it!”

Bail just rolled his optics and proceeded to pick up Leia and rocked her, conscious of what he was doing. Rahr carefully observed Bail Organa and his adopted daughter on how precautious he was until he drooled as a result of trying to concentrate at one situation for too long. Bail made a face and slowly walked away from the Jedi master. Out of the blue, there as an emergency transmission coming in on their communications table. Bail lay Leia down in her crib that was cornered by two helpful droids. “What is it, General Kenobi?” Bail answered.

“Senator, the Empire has certainly stepped up their game. They’ve just invaded Utapau and kidnapped the ones with potential skills of being a soldier.”

Bail blatantly caught this by surprise. “How is the government letting this happen?”

“The Democracy has been overrun,” Obi-Wan replied.

“What do you suggest Rahr and I do?” Bail urgently asked, shaking and eyeing out for Leia.

“Stay there. It’s safe for the time being. Let me figure out what I can do to get that Resistance Militia Squadron started. Then, we can revolt against the tyranny of what the Republic has fallen to.”

Bail put a reassured face on. He then did the sign of the cross… and waited.
