Brindy Allashane stood on the streets of Imperial City (now Coruscant again) jumping up and down and cheering with her brother, Jess, beside her. Tonight the Rebel Alliance had destroyed the second Death Star and defeated the Empire once and for all. The streets were very crowded and brilliantly colored fireworks went off in the starry sky. Brindy wondered what would happen next. Who would run the new government? What would the government be like? Well, whatever it's like, it can't be worse than the Empire, she thought. She looked at her brother. Jess was all the family Brindy had. Her parents had been on Alderaan when it was destroyed by the first Death Star. That had made Jess angry so he joined the Rebel Alliance and fought in the battle at Hoth. He had come home wounded and she healed him with the Force.

The Force. She had been in Jabba the Hutt's palace to pay off a debt to Bib Fortuna because she had borrowed his landspeeder one day. While she was there, Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker came to rescue his friend, Han Solo. She decided that after the dust settled from the war she would seek out Luke Skywalker and get him to teach her how to be a Jedi. When the celebration was over she went to bed and fell asleep with a smile on her face knowing that the Empire would no longer torment anyone.
