In "SW: A New Hope," we learned that the Jedi had been wiped out, presumably when the emperor came to power. When we saw the class of small Jedi in "Attack of the Clones," as a mother my first thought was, "Oh, God, they killed the children too?"



Jedi Child
(tune: "Turn Around")

What have you suffered, my little child, Jedi child?
One so small never should battle alone
Though you used all your might, you were too young to fight
And the Sith Lord he slew you, before you were grown

When we took you from mother and took you from father
We swore to protect as we taught you the right
But now we're forsworn, and there's no one to mourn
For the Sith Lord he slew you, before you could fight

Jedi child, Jedi child, Jedi child, Jedi child...

At least when he killed you, my little child, Jedi child
He put you beyond reach of fear or of pain
And though he is strong, he will not rule for long
For Skywalker's children will end his cruel reign
