Maybe one day I'll take a crack at doing something again, just for you Colonel.

Taka, it might be easier for me to play just a good friend then if you're planning on having a jedi parent. Maybe a rebel faction helped her hid her children and in return she helped defend them until she died. My character could have been a hired mercenary who was also helping these rebels. Once their mother died my character could have offered to take yours with them, implying they'd be doing more work for the rebels and making their mother proud.
