And I LOVE Yoda at the end! =)

Oh. my. goodness.

This is awesome. I know I should be all solemn after reading such an emotional fic (and really, really well handled too), but Yoda as a 'critter' is just awesome! (and Quitter!).
Just the right touch to end the fic on so that I'm laughing with tears in my eyes.

I really, really loved this.

I loved this!

What a beautiful story - I love the idea of Anakin coming back to visit his family, but this is honestly the first well-written story I've found that deals with this theme. All of the characters are totally in character, and there is a great balance of angst and humor. I can't say how many fics there are out there that go way overboard on the sentimentality, but you handled it completely realistically and meaningfully, without being sappy and mushy at all. Anakin's grief near the end, and Leia's realization of all he had been through, was especially well-portrayed.

"Images of a past life—a life that wasn’t hers—flashed in Leia’s mind.

A desert world where the stars were brighter than diamonds.

A beautiful girl—with long dark hair and eyes brighter than the stars.

A man—a Jedi—the image of freedom.

Space and Coruscant and ships and battles with flaming explosions.

Leia could hardly keep breathing. The images played before her eyes so quickly she couldn’t process them all.

Obi-Wan Kenobi. Young. Strong. Funny.

Palpatine—the emperor—looking like a man who was trying to help others.

Padme Amidala—beautiful, idealistic, and courageous.

And a host of others Leia had no name for.

Terror. Blind terror, watching a woman die of wounds in the Tatooine sand. Rage and fury and hate overpowering good sense and mercy in the rain of blood and limbs in a Tusken Raider camp.

Fear of loss.

Losing Padme like he’d lost his mother.

Desperation, willingness to do anything to save her.

Betrayal.

Murder.

Anything.

Pain. Agony. Suffering. Feeling his body consumed by the flames of Mustafar, watching Obi-Wan walk away.

I hate you!

Alone.

Please, come back."

This is the best summation I have ever found of Anakin's fall. Really, really, really effective - it honestly gave me chills.

So thank you for this wonderful story - I can't wait to read more of you stuff!

so, yoda decided to visit the solo children as well

Yoda alert!

Undeniably cute, and filled with emotion. I loved it.

I love leia accepting and giving forgiveness this is good

Wow please give us a sequel:P straight to favorites!

This is great. I know it's sad, almost moved me to tears, but I can't help but giggle at the basic premise. Wonderful stuff.

Peace out
