Email to Jacen Solo TO: "Jacen" FROM: "Jaina" SUBJECT: The books
Jacen,
Things I Have Learned while reading books nonstop for the past several days
• The Jedi Council of old was apparently filled with idiots who clearly thought the best way to keep their Chosen One from turning to the Dark Side was to offer as little guidance as possible and just hope that the Dark Side didn't come calling.
• Obi-Wan Kenobi, while a good man whom I happen to very highly respect, clearly should have spent a little more time worrying about his Padawan's tendency to act like a five-year-old youngling hyped up on candy when it came to lessons of importance and less time concerning himself over the way his Padawan chose to pilot whatever ship they were using at the time.
• Anakin Skywalker was doomed from the moment he was discovered on Tatooine. He stood no chance of escaping his destiny anymore than I have a chance of escaping mine. However, instead of being offered ways to prepare to fulfill his destiny as I was, he was treated as an incompetent half the time and regaled as a hero during the rest.
• Unless we want to wipe out their memories, there is no way in this galaxy or ours that Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are ever going to get along again.
And, that's it. If I have to read one more karking book, I'm going to...
Force. My head is so screwed up I can't even properly finish that threat.
