Joining them on the strange and solemn journey are an officer of the post-Palpatine Empire, escorted by a detachment of Imperial stormtroopers a party of diplomats from a gentle alien species that reveres the fallen Jedi for saving them from bloodthirsty conquerors and a New Republic ambassador who harbors his own mysterious agenda.

Accepting the gesture will mean a long voyage into the treacherous cluster of stars where the thousands of souls aboard the Outbound Flight vessel met their grim fate.

Despite the bond they share in the Force, after three years of marriage the Jedi Master and his wife are still learning the ropes of being a couple-and struggling to find time together between the constant demands of duty. Sometimes it seems a Jedi's work is never done, and Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker know this only too well.
