Plot summary
After being taught about lightsaber construction by her twin brother, Luke Skywalker, a reluctant Leia Organa Solo journeyed into a wilderness to find the components she required, while Luke awaited her return. Supplied with the same tools Luke had used to construct his green lightsaber, Leia was accompanied by R2-D2 on her quest.
After three days, Leia located the necessary components, and on the eighth, she emerged from the wilderness with R2, carrying her newly built lightsaber, and impressing Luke with how quickly she had succeeded. Igniting the lightsaber, Leia felt more confident that she too could become a Jedi, like her father and brother before her.
