This was an excellent story. I love the premise of two Skywalker women interacting through time. You captured Padme` beautifully, her elegance and regal behavior as well as her humanity. It was nice to see a lighter side to Mara, and her reactions were perfect. The whole Sabe`/Obi-Wan thing I didn't like at first, but seeing how it played out made it worth it. Unfortunately, Obi-Wan won't get a love interest in the films. And I really like that Luke gets the memory he deserves. You captured his reaction just as I would imagine: completely devastated by such joy. Fantastic job!

WOW!! I think that this is most definitely one of the 2 best fanfics that I have ever read (the other being "Of Dreams and Destiny"). It brought me to tears and gave some wonderful background that is absolutely believeable. The words of praise that would do this story justice have yet to be uttered by anyone. Thank you so much for this wonderful work!

I really liked how you had Mara and Padme meet each other through the mirror...it was a very effective and compelling plot device, and I think you used Mara's native skepticism well when she first meets Padme. I wasn't so crazy about the Obi-Wan/Sabe subplot, but otherwise, I really enjoyed your story.

Wow . . .

That was amazing, RebelMom! What an intriguing idea. It's always bugged me that Luke and Leia have no way to find out who their mother was, though I've often wondered why they didn't ask Mon Mothma or someone. What a beautiful wedding gift, too.

As always, you write Luke and Mara perfectly.

It's just such a beautiful story, one could read it a dozen times and always be touched by something. Just the right balance of drama, romance, sorrow and joy. You handled Padmé's emotions without a hitch.

Let me just start by saying, OH MY LAND THIS IS THE GREATEST FAN FICTION I HAVE EVER READ. And I have read alot of fan fictions. You captured your audience right from the beginning and kept us glued to our seat to the very end. I liked how you gave Luke a memory and added that last part about Mara's history. I thought it was so cool that Obi-Wan and Sabe had Mara. I liked how that sort of tied to Luke early on in life. It made me feel that Mara and Luke were meant to be since Sabe was Padme's handmadein and Obi-Wan started Luke's training and protected Padme. Really good job. I just can't say enough about this wonderful fan fiction. I can't wait to see other works by you. Wow. Keep up the fantastic work and you'll go far!

This is one of the most wonderful fanfics I have ever read! It adds such a wonderful "what if" twist to the stories of my most fav characters. If only Mara could have had the family alluded to...but I would wonder how the Emperor would manage to pull her away from Obi-wan and train her as his Hand. I think it is truly wonderful that Luke received the gift of a memory of Padme'...if only he and Leia could learn of her in the EU! This is a story I will always remember! Well-written to the very end!

Don't put too much stock in any of the comments about the Obi/Sabe twist not working, it fits perfectly. There are some plot-holes but that's why this is called FANfiction. We do what we want.

Thanks for all the nice comments. They are greatly appreciated. I thought I'd address the Obi/Sabe issue. I originally wrote this in 2000, well before EP2. I'd picked up the Obi/Sabe pairing in several fanfics and decided to use it. Even though I updated after EP2, I left Obi/Sabe alone because I liked how it worked in the story.

Thanks again. :)

Lovely story. But the part about Mara being Obi-Wan's daughter was a little too farfetched, like a Mexican "telenovela" where everybody is somebody's sister, brother or lost lover. Obi-Wan lived to a long age, so how come Mara never met her father? You should have left it at Mara telling Padme that everything turns out OK in the end.
Still, it was beautifully written and an original idea.

I don't really bother reading anything that involves any of the original trilogy anymore, sadly, but I read this story, and I love it. In that one paragraph where it tells us how PAdme was playing with Luke. If only George Lucas did it that way. Making Anakin think she had died, when she didn't. And then killing her after she spent some time with the children. That paragraph touched me deeply. It is a very good story. Thanks for writing it.
