Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View (From a Certain Point of View #1)

by Elizabeth Schaefer

Just as my path has led me here, to the point of crisis, where I can strike a blow for freedom, it’s brought my best friend as well. What luck. It’s as if all the stories we heard as children were true.

But beyond the terror, beyond the flaring light of my disintegrating hull, beyond the dark reaches of the Empire and the endless black of space where stars burn like little promises of hope, I feel the wind of Tatooine sweeping across the desert, and hear the call of my mother for dinner, and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Luke will not miss. The fear is gone, and then there is only peace.
