Coruscant: New Republic capitol
Senate building
Only moments ago the senate was shocked by the proposal of the senator from Earth as there is series of muttering and shouting from other senators of the building itself as everyone is on edge and even everyone else is watching. Luke Skywalker just sighed, while the other Jedi looked on at him for guidance and his sister Leia found this to be completely crazy FURA by what the Earth senator called the Force User Registration act and mostly to everybody in the room is an outrageous idea.
However other senators in the room are thinking it does make sense as the Earth senator made certain points about wars of the past and present being caused by force users and people of the galaxy being caught in the middle of it, between ideologies of the Sith and the ideologies of the Jedi. Perhaps the Jedi are not the peacekeepers they claim to be and are the reason why the Sith keep on coming back, could the Sith come back again to start another war. They didn't know as there are force sensitive species out there.
"This is completely outrageous," said Leia "A force user registration act that is something the Empire would come up with,"
"It is common sense," said the Earth senator "and we have gathered information that the clone wars started by a force user and played both side of the war, the very man the old Republic put in office Sheeve Palaptine and isn't force users suppose to be found out by the Jedi, how come they missed him being a force user. The Jedi did not see the clone was coming due to some false pretense by the dark side clouds everything." He added more to the conversation "and that very man manipulated one Anakin Skywalker to murder innocent children inside the Jedi temple at the time of order 66,"
"In fact in this very room a long time ago, former Jedi Master Yoda fought Sheeve Palapatine alias Darth Sidous in this room," said the Earth senator "Let's go to the footage shall we," he pressed a button
The footage shows a display of force powers between Yoda and Sidous in which some senators wondered why the senate room was trashed, until that footage ended which Yoda retreating.
"So Yoda had the power to defeat Palpatine and he ran away like a coward," said the Earth senator "If there is anyone to blame is force itself and the misuse by force users, this is not about control, but a common sense proposal that helps people in general."
"You can't blame force users for the wars that had transpired," said Leia "Wars happen because two people disagree and yes it was a mistake to put Palpatine into power in the first place, why it is because no one knew of his true intentions and everyone was fooled into thinking he was a nice kind hearted man,"
"Stupidity is no excuse," said the Earth senator "Surely someone had investigated and found something of Palpatine's past or looked into his medical records or looked into his family history and yet none of that happened, why? Because, it was due to ignorance on their part"
"Members of the senate may I speak," said Luke
"Go ahead master Jedi," nodded the chancellor
"I would agree with the senator of Alderaan," said Luke "A force user registration act would not bring peace, but it would cause more war as we Jedi are peacekeepers and not creators of the Sith, yes some turn to the dark side due to temptations, but the Jedi have a code of conduct to keep balance to the force.,"
"Ah, but that is where you are wrong Mister Skywalker," said the Earth senator "In fact before you were a fabled hero of the Rebellion, you were a farm boy with no knowledge of your parents in fact your very one father and hero of the clone wars Anakin lived on your planet. The Jedi code failed your father and he turned to the dark side in fact only you and your sister know this, but in fact that Anakin was cut down by his old master Obi-wan Kenobi on Mustafar, but not before force choking your mother Padme Amidalla the former senator of Naboo,"
This brought a lot of shocks and muttered in the senate as Luke never knew of this and Leia as well, their very own mother was Padme Amidalla of Naboo and somewhere on Naboo Jar Jar, Binks is in an ally drinking and watching the broadcast as he sighed deeply at this.
"Guess I take it Obi-wan never told you," said the Earth senator "My intelligence sources found footage of that battle between former master and apprentice, let's take a look shall we,"
Images are shown of two legendary Jedi heroes Anakin Skywalker and Obi-wan Kenobi battling it out in Mustafar as their blades clashed with one another in the intense heat there, until Kenobi has the advantage by using the high ground.
"It's over Anakin, I have the high ground." said Kenobi
"You underestimate my power!" growled Anakin
"Don't try it." said Kenobi
Anakin leaps up with a force jump to strike only for Obi-wan to strike him down but cutting of his legs and right arm as Anakin's limbless body falls right near the lava stream and he starts to burn up in which Kenobi looks over at him with sadness in his eyes
"You were the chosen one!" yelled Kenobi "It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the force... not leave it in darkness!"
Anakin shouts "I HATE YOU!"
"You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you!" said Kenobi
Then Kenobi leaves Anakin to his fate as the footage comes to an end.
"Bring balance to the force Kenobi said," said the Earth senator "And yet the hero became the villain, because he wanted to save the one he loved, but failed and in the end look where he got himself into and was turned into Darth Vader scourge of the galaxy, which he bullied, killed and massacred many people. As he was an untamed animal allowed to do what he wanted," he added more to the conversation "My proposal will help keep the force in check,"
"We will take a recess," said the Chancellor "So we can debate and discuss more on this matter,"
The senate is adjourned for the time being as people are still talking about it.
New Jedi Order Temple
Courscant
Luke and the others came back to the Jedi temple as the Earth senators words lingered in everyone's minds as Luke wanted to be left alone to meditate on this matter as he is in Yoda's old chamber and now he is meditating to the force for an answer.
"Why didn't you tell me about this," muttered Luke "Obi-wan
"If you learned the truth, what would you do," said Kenobi
"My son," said Anakin "Only if I never turned, none of this would ever happened,"
"Too late for that father," said Luke "I feel like blood is on my hands of what was done in the past,"
"A jedi doesn't dwell on the past only the future," said Kenobi
"Easy said than done master," said Anakin
"Then what do I do," said Luke
"You lead the Jedi order," said Kenobi "So that decision falls on you,"
"No pressure right," said Luke
Planet Mortis
Unknown regions
A fireball like object comes down upon the planet Mortis outside the temple and a large creature appears as it has a long red beard and is rather rocky in which this creature is known as Bendu, he can sense how strong the force is in this place and has been summoned.
"So you have come," said a voice
"I have indeed," said Bendu "Ancient one,"
A short bearded being known as the Uncle appears in front of Bendu as the Bendu the one in the middle bows in respects to the being.
"I have been watching what the Earth senator has been proposing," said the Uncle
"Yes I sensed it as well," said Bendu "Very bold, but speaks the truth as wars are started by force users for their misuse of the force,"
"I have seen many, many futures which results in war between force users and non-force users," said the Uncle
"And what do you believe should be done about this," said Bendu "Like an equal playing field,"
"Perhaps it is time for the force to fall," said The Uncle
