Heir to the Empire
In your opinion, should Luke's Loyalty lie with Leia and the New Republic or with the Jedi in the novel, Heir to the Empire?

In Chapter Two, we learn that Luke and Leia are very close. It also talks about Luke's closeness to the Jedi. Unfortunately, Luke's sense of loyalty and obligation to family is eclipsed by his sense of duty to the Jedi. Although that is probably the right decision at the time, it isn't an easy one for Luke, which is part of what causes his depression.
