Prologue

They walked down the hall of the Jedi Temple. No one spoke, they knew what was going to happen. When they reached the door to the chamber they stopped. The man looks up at his former Padawan now Jedi master, and silently asked her if she was ready. The woman didn't answer. He took that as a yes. He opened the door. In the center of the room was a pit. And In the pit was a tube. A tube that would change their lives forever. Just as the woman was about to enter the pit a man walks into the room. His gaze transfixed on the woman. The man walks forward plants a kiss on her lips, whispers something in her ear then turns and leaves. The woman smiles. A sad smile, a smile of love. She slowly walks towards the pit. She stops turns and bows to her master. Then she walks into the pit. The master hits the button and watches as the process begins. As the large block of Carbon containing the Jedi raises from the pit, he says.

"Good luck, Master Skywalker"
