Ben just stared, feeling his own emotions welling up. The very emotions he had fought to keep down when Anakin turned not long ago in his mind. The emotions he was sure eventually overtook Padme....
Anakin died a Jedi. And as painful as it was to know the horror he would pursue, it felt....peaceful. Good wasn't the right word. But peaceful was. "Thank you, Luke." Ben smiled sadly and looked down, feeling his eyes getting a bit misty. He didn't want to show that it had affected him, though. He wasn't supposed to give in like this.
"He has always had a good heart. But he was easily misguided. He feared that Padme would be harmed...he wanted to save her. That was what lead him on the dark path. His love for his wife would turn him. It was his love that eventually destroyed her." Ben swallowed and stared at Luke.
