Luke and Leia



Luke and Leia Skywalker were the children of Galactic Republic Senator Padmé Amidala and the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, a former hero of the Jedi Order who had recently fallen to the dark side of the Force and become a Sith Lord. The twins' mother had been choked by her husband on Mustafar after Skywalker believed Amidala to have betrayed him, causing Amidala to lose the will to live and die not long after giving birth to Luke and Leia. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda knew that the children, both having a natural affinity for the Force, needed protection from Palpatine and their father. Deciding it would be best if they were separated, the two Jedi Masters agreed to send the infant boy to live with his father's stepbrother, Owen Lars, and his wife, Beru, on Tatooine. Leia was sent to live under the protection of her newly-adopted parents, Bail and Breha Organa of Alderaan.

Luke Skywalker was the subject to many prophecies. This made his future extremely bright and the reliance of his mastery became  even more evident to society. As he grew older he fought in many of the most important battles of the Galactic Civil War, helping to found Rogue Squadron and fighting Imperial forces across the galaxy. Skywalker received Jedi training from Yoda, and learned from Vader that the Sith Lord was his father. One year later, he fought in the Battle of Endor, and succeeded in turning his father back to the light. Thanks to Skywalker, Palpatine was killed, and the Empire was dealt a crippling blow. One year later, the New Republic was formed.

Throughout the succeeding decades, Skywalker helped keep peace throughout the galaxy as the New Republic slowly defeated small remnants of the Empire. When Palpatine returned in the form of several clone bodies, Luke temporarily fell to the dark side and became the resurrected Emperor's apprentice. He was later redeemed with the help of his friends, and continued with his goal of reviving the Jedi Order.

Even though Luke came off very quiet and confused, was actually very intelligent. Things came naturally to him. He was a very quick learner and used what he learned to the best of his abilities. He knew he was capable of more than he performed so he constantly was working his hardest. From this came his rebellious side. He knew his limits, but excessively pushed them and would get into a lot of trouble with not only authority, but he would get himself into trouble or more so danger. He was willing and able, yet it put him in mere death situations.

Leia Organa was most famous for her strong leadership during the Galactic Civil War and other subsequent galactic conflicts, making her one of the galaxy's greatest heroes. She had a forceful personality and bright intellect, having accomplished much in her youth: she was a strong proponent for the Rebel Alliance, the youngest Senator ever of the Galactic Empire at eighteen standard years of age, and a member of the Royal Family of Alderaan. Years later, she was a key proponent in the creation of the New Republic, and was elected to the position of Chief of State, serving twice in that office. She soon became a Jedi Knight in the New Jedi Order due to her powerful Force heritage.

Leia was a very strong and intelligent woman. She was bright, strong, and clever. She did everything she could to keep the Jedi Order as strong as possible. She was a very good listener and did as she was told, but only to a certain extent. She was also a fighter so if she didn't exactly like what she was being told to do, she showed it. Leia was very sweet and very good with her words. She was very good at persuaded people not only with her words, but with her looks. Leia would get into many dangerous situations, but she always came out on top. She always pushed herself to do more and to perform better than before. She was courageous and she new exactly what she wanted and how she wanted it. She was a born leader.

The Galactic twins Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were originally played by Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, but the Luke and Leia in my life are the Larrabee Twins, Andrew and Ryan. These twins both have many aspects of both Luke and Leia. They both stand up for what they believe and are both constant fighters whether it be for athletics or academics. Andrew and Ryan are clever young men in their own secret ways. They put themselves in dangerous situations, but they always push themselves to perform their best and end up on top. They constantly strive to be the best with not only the competition of their fellow peers, but with the competition between themselves. Even though they are very alike, they each has their strengths and weaknesses, but together their abilities are excessive. They do come off very quiet and confused like Luke, but like Leia they are very intelligent and bright.Together they are inseparable and unstoppable. #Twinning
