"Simply put, they didn't trust me," Ahsoka explained. "Something bad happened, and I was framed for it. And instead of helping me, they expelled me from the order and let me stand trial for a crime I did not commit. Only when the real culprit came forward was I spared what might have been the death penalty."

She folded her hands on the table. "They told me that this must have been my trial, and that I would be welcome back as a Jedi Knight. I turned it down, because my experience in trying to clear my name had shown me that I could no longer rely on them. And even if her methods were wrong, the one who framed me had made a very good point about the Jedi and the war."

"The Jedi lacked balance," Gaeri said carefully. "I don't agree in the way they were purged from our galaxy, but I do think that they needed to rethink their ways."

Granted, her knowledge of the Old Order was limited and painted with varying shades of propaganda meant to leave them sitting in the most unfavorable of lights. Like the Empire had done the galaxy some sort of grand favor in eliminating them. But although she understood a large part of that to be false, the the best lies were rooted in truth. And that was a really good lie, one of the Empire's grandest.

"I've only met one Jedi. In my time or version of the galaxy, however that works, he's the only one. The last — or the first, if things go his way."

	"Would that be Luke?" It was fitting, from where Ahsoka was sitting, that Luke would be the one to carry things forward. Though she wondered what happened to Kanan, and Ezra. There'd been so much potential in both of them to help form a new Jedi Order. One less tied down by tradition, and one more focused on compassion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A nod of confirmation. "Yes, Luke Skywalker. He's responsible for not only bringing Rebel troops to Bakura during our time of need, but also saving my planet from the Ssi-ruu. I thought he was lost to them at one point after we were both infected with a parasite, he managed to use those Jedi talents of his to thwart it in ways that I could not."

She had needed a doctor, a way of driving the parasite out of her lungs to prevent it from eating her alive. A so-called courtesy that Nereus had only paid her, because he had been interested in her in ways that she wished he hadn't been. Luke, however, had not, and she'd been convinced he'd fallen victim to the Imperial scheme until he showed up alive after the battle and took down the corrupt, greedy governor himself.

"Those Jedi talents can be very useful. They've gotten me out of trouble more times than I can count. I don't know about Luke, but the Order also taught us how to survive and fight even without the Force, or a Lightsaber. How to negotiate and work with people." Ahsoka frowned. The Clone Wars had changed that focus until the Jedi she'd thought she'd known had ceased to exist.

"Luke sounds like someone very special. Even from my talking to the one here, I can tell."

Luke was everything good about Anakin with everything good about Padme.

"The one here isn't my— Isn't the one I know," she stated firmly.

Gaeri was okay with a duplicate of Princess Leia, but she wasn't sure how she felt about there being one of Luke here. Especially after how close the two of them had become throughout that ordeal. Nevermind the attraction, she wouldn't be able to rely on that foundation of trust that had been built in spite of their differences and varying opinions. She'd have to start all over again with someone she knew, but didn't know her.

"From what I can tell, I come from the same version of our galaxy that General Solo does."
