Their leader Darth Maul was on the Death Star, and he was after Luke.
Luke went with Leia to Coruscant to find and help Obi-Wan Kenobi.
The general in charge of the attacks is who recruited Leia.
He took her to the Vanqor system and asked for her help because she was the only one that he believed could kill Maul.
With the help of the cloaked Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian, they destroy the Vanqor battle station and flee with Kenobi to Tatooine.
They made the planet their new home.
Darth Maul and Darth Sidious sent their troops after them, but they escaped.
Obi-Wan was able to save his own life.
He went to his home planet where he died.
Leia went with Luke to Naboo and was kept safe there for a few years.

Obi-Wan Kenobi brought Luke to her.
She turned to Luke and Obi-Wan for help.
They were able to defeat Sidious.
She left Luke on Tatooine to return to Naboo to help rebuild her planet.
It was her and Luke against the Supreme Chancellor, Palpatine, who led the Empire.
She fought him in his throne room.
The Emperor was defeated.

They married, and she helped raise Luke in the world of Tatooine.
Luke and Leia have stayed in love for the past 8 years.
After Luke returned from his final battle against the Emperor, he was dying.
He came to her in her sleep, and she thought he was telling her to run.
He told her to stay and fight.
He was telling her that she needed to be with him and that he loved her.
He promised that if he could live again, he would come back to her.
She moved into the Temple on Coruscant to watch over him.
They had a beautiful memorial ceremony for him.
When it was over, they parted ways.
They agreed to wait to meet again.
Now they are reunited.
Both of them were kind of messed up because they knew it was going to be a long time before they saw each other again.
They had a very passionate reunion, with kissing.
They were so happy that they were able to meet back up, even though they knew that they weren't going to have time to become husband and wife.
Leia had to leave to take care of the younglings and the YCT.
Luke couldn't stay in the past and would have to do his best to help the younglings and Naboo.
