Kasoapa Organa

Yes many sections are direct dialog from the films, intentionally, to maintain cannon. -as you noted, thank you ^_^- with perspective insight to further understand the depth of their emotions. This being my first Fanfic I kept myself limited, added boundaries. Next time I guess I'll allow myself a little more creative license? Also, in regards to the awkwardness of the jumping around, I can agree. However I tried to maintain a pattern, instead of jumping random amounts of years. It was consistently back and forth 20 years. If I had left it as two separate stories/ pieces it would have been less powerful- I believe. Thank you again for your comment Anakin T Skywalker

Thank you Obi-Here, I appreciate the sentiment ^_^ I'll be sure to capitalize the 'Force' next time, don't know why I looked over it. Oops.

I'll take a complement from Master Mellina anytime

Thank you Amidala, I don't mind constructive criticism at all ^_^ Yeah I agree if felt choppy but, I tried to maintain order -back and fourth the same 20 years, taking turns rather leaping odd numbers of years all around. Also, yes the letter burned because otherwise it wouldn't remain cannon to the SW saga for Luke to have know ahead of time 'There is good in him'. Only Leia remembers her mother, beautiful yet sad. Obi-Wan's reaction I suppose I could have continued on. However, I never said it in the story, but Ben never read the letter so it would have been kinda pointless for him to have relayed to Luke: "Um your mom wrote you a letter before you died, but I have no idea what it said, anyway- yeah, it just burned with your Aunt and Uncle. Sorry kido." lol

Hey I inadvertently just posted a short SWfanfic that pertains to topic #1 for the December challenge ^_^ It wasn't meant as a challenge entry, but it does revolve around a letter written in the end. Here is a link: Her Sacrifice: http://forums.jedi.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=32574

Thank you so much all for your replies ^_^ I'd hoped everyone would catch my small references to other cannon themes, such as (as Skye Organa commented) the connection between Leia and Padme. And also other subtle inserts such as Padme's final images of the lake country where she had initially desired to raise her child(ren). I never liked the idea of Padme simply passing from a broken heart, she was too strong and stubborn to just slip away. It always made more sense that she would choose to sacrifice herself, for her children, rather. Therefore I tried, through the creation of the letter, to explain what I believed to be Padme's true intentions.

>>>>>>>>Her Sacrifice<<<<<<<< A quick summary: The story switches between Padme's and Obi-Wan's perspectives before and after Padme's death, ultimately addressing why Padme died, for those of us who could not accept ”œheartbreak”
