Can you hear me, Qui-Gon? It is a long way from here to the Outer Rim, and I have much to tell you. The boy that I was charged to watch over is no more. Luke Skywalker has grown up. Our mission has succeeded, and with that, a New Jedi Order has taken our place. We are the last of the old Jedi, Qui-Gon. You, and me, and Master Yoda… Of course, you're not here. And the only representation of Master Yoda here are these little green toys that hang in windows. I think you'd like them. But we were the last of the old Jedi. I know this because that is what the internet tells me. It'd be strange that their version of the Holonet knows so much about us, if I hadn't survived the media frenzy of the Clone Wars. I was never meant for the spotlight. There are movies, too. You'd definitely appreciate those. I know I should watch them. I have much to learn about my future -- and my past, but I probably won't. I can't. It has been almost a year, and I can't -- I met one of the New Jedi today. I was hoping to connect with you, and I found him in your place. His name is Anakin Solo. He is one of Luke's students and the son of Leia Organa. Yes, the child we put into the care of Senator Bail Organa survived as well. I hear that she became a senator in her own right, before the Senate was finally dissolved... How can such a bright boy be named after -- I know. Anakin Skywalker was a great man. He was a hero, and he brought a sense of balance to the Force. I can see that now in how the Prophecy unfolded. And I've repeated these sentiments to Luke, to Anakin, to everyone here. I've told them what they wanted to know. But, Master, I cannot forget my own nightmares. I cannot forget what happened on Coruscant. These new Jedi think that I can help them. They think that together we can defeat the new Darkness that has befallen the Force. Though it is never brought up directly, I sense that this is what they want. I am Obi-Wan Kenobi. General of the Grand Army of the Republic. Jedi Master. Friend of Anakin Skywalker. But what they ask of me is impossible. How can I help them when I could not help him? How could any of us have helped him? There was too much working against us. And if I could help… is this my new purpose? I don't know. I wish you were here. I know that you're out there. That you have seen what I have seen. I'm told that sometimes the Blue Box, the Tesseract, takes requests. If it does, you know what I would ask. |
