"There is... Still good in him Obi Wan. There is still hope... My children..."
There was no more.
Senator Padme Amidala, former Queen of Naboo, would rest for eternity.
Nearby, those assembled pondered in silence disturbed by the wail of the newborn twins.
"Hide them from the Sith we must, for their protection, and future of the Jedi"
"We should separate them." interjected Obi Wan. "I could take one of them, the girl perhaps..." he said nonchalantly.
"I could take the boy." said Bail Organa. "Me and my wife could raise him like the child we always wanted"
As the two men pondered the destiny of the children, Yoda listened with concern. He felt something, almost like a disturbance in the force. It clearly lay in the destinies of these children, but was it for better, or worse? If there was anything that should be said, it was now.
He chose to remain silent.
Even for someone as old and wise as he, the future was uncertain. Perhaps it was because of Anakin's turn to the dark side, or perhaps it was the shock of the fall of the Jedi. In any case, the elder Jedi master felt uncomfortable with this uncertainty. It seemed ironic that for one so in harmony with the force, he felt helpless. Yet perhaps it was for the better, he thought. As the two men made arrangements for the children, he hoped that future generations would forgive him.
