[Luke can't help giving a happy smile as he thinks of Ben.] Ben's smart and energetic and sometimes too advanced for his own good. He did get a double dose of stubborn...between me and his mom, who's every bit as stubborn as I am at times. [He chuckled.] Once he's got his mind on something, it's hard to change it. He's strong in the Force already, although things have been rough and it's scared him a little, what he's felt. He's got the Skywalker blue eyes, but red-gold hair like his mom.
Leia's children are all Jedi. They're all smart and stubborn and seem to have what their dad calls his "Solo luck" for tight situations. Jaina's a mechanical whiz...she'd rather be getting her hands dirty working on a ship than any of that girly stuff. Jacen has a gift for animals...both of them are great pilots. And they've got some of their dad's Corellian swagger and lopsided grin at times. Both of them have been through a lot...there's been a war going on. But they're great kids. They've got dark hair like both their parents.
Anakin was...He was a good boy...intelligent and brave and kind. We...We lost him during the war. [Luke's eyes are sad.] But he was a hero to the end. He brought hope as well...just like you said of his grandfather. I'd love for you to meet them...all of them.
[He thinks of her words about his father.] I see him in myself and Leia...but I see you as well. [He has to laugh again about the politicians.] I guess it's hereditary. Leia's great with them, although even she has her fill at times. She isn't Chief of State anymore, but she's still working with them at times. I'm definitely not cut out for politics.
[Especially when they want the Jedi to be loyal to the government instead of the Force...and especially since the one in charge at the moment is former imperial Admiral Daala, who never liked Jedi to bein with...]
