Luke Skywalker stood at the front of the room. Various younglings were on the floor sitting in front of him. Among them was Ben Solo, his nephew. He gave his nephew a smile, Ben was the oldest and most skilled in the academy. He was around eighteen life years. He was growing to be a great Jedi. He was elevated to knight status a few weeks before.
Ben's only flaw was that he wanted to be a powerful Jedi. Maybe a little bit too powerful, being too powerful was not good for a Jedi. He remembered Yoda's teachings. The ancient Jedi master had stressed that a Jedi should not crave power.
Luke turned his attention back to his students, the future of the Jedi. The Empire had all but fallen. Nothing would stand in the way of rebuilding the Republic, the darkness was still out there but it would not jump at them yet.
"Who knows Darth Vader?" Luke asked. He saw Ben look up and he could sense Ben was interested in the topic of his grandfather.
"He was a Sith Lord who destroyed the Old Jedi Order. He became one of the most powerful force users in the galaxy." Ben said with a smile on his face. Luke frowned at Ben. The Destruction of the Order was not something to smile about. Maybe Ben was proud he knew the history of his grandfather.
"Vader was a monster, a bad man. He took the form of Anakin Skywalker, my father, and drove the light away."
"Aren't Anakin and Vader the same?" A student he knew as Colin asked.
"No. If you were to turn to the dark side, you would not be Colin. You would be a monster. Colin was killed and a monster took his place."
The students sat in awe. They never thought about it all like that. The world suddenly wasn't all that black and white. Ben frowned, he had remembered Luke telling him this. It was a silly concept to him though.
Luke frowned. He could feel the conflict in Ben. He seemed to worship Anakin but, could he possibly worship Vader instead of Anakin? No, he had been taught well enough to know that Vader was an evil man.
"Vader was an evil man. Being a Sith may seem great but your personal life is destroyed. My droid R2-D2 told me that my mother died because my father had turned to the dark side to save her, she died of a broken heart because she knew my father would never be the same." Luke looked down and the other students sat in silence. He didn't need to show the students the video file Artoo had shown him. It was too painful for him. The students wouldn't be able to handle it.
Luke continued, "Thanks to the Dark Side, I never knew my parents. I met my father but I had never met his true self. I had never seen how he looked before he was put in that dreadful suit. Everyone will be seduced by the dark side. I was seduced by the Emperor in his throne room on the second Death Star. I resisted his temptation and didn't kill him."
"Why didn't you kill the Emperor?" Ben asked curiously.
"As a wise Jedi once told me, A Jedi uses the force for knowledge and defense, never for attack." Luke said thinking about his time on Dagobah with Yoda and recalling his time with the Emperor on the Death Star.
"That seems like a pretty weak philosophy." Ben said with a sneer.
Luke frowned, "are you arguing with the greatest Jedi the Jedi Order had ever produced young Ben Solo?"
"He's the Emperor. Wouldn't you need to kill him to save the galaxy?" Ben Solo questioned.
"Ben, that would make me sink down to the Emperor's level." Luke said as he looked down at his Padawan.
"Maybe that Jedi was out of his mind-." Luke cut Ben off, he had enough of Ben's attitude. How could been talk about Master Yoda like that!
"Padawan Solo you may go back to your quarters." Luke said calmly dismissing his anger into the force.
Ben nonchalantly walked away not caring that is uncle was angry with his attitude. Ben couldn't care less. He questioned his uncle's teachings not to be an asshole but because they were sometimes stupid.
As the door closed, Luke resumed his talk. "Sorry about my nephew, he is not acting like a proper Jedi today. His thought are clouded by the dark side…. Let us continue."

So these chapters are going to be really short. Next chapter, Ben calls a "friend" and Luke calls Han and Leia about his attitude. Thanks for reading!
