"Your uncle doesn't know what he is talking about. Darth Vader was very powerful. He was more powerful than any Jedi could hope to be." A male voice said.

"He dismissed me today because I disagreed with him on the topic of how a Jedi uses his power." Ben complained to the figure.

"He is hypocritical and weak. You will become a great Jedi. You have far more potential than your Uncle."

"I'm running out of options. You tell me the same thing every time. I don't know what else to do."

"If you are intelligent you will realize your destiny." He said before ending the call.

Ben sat perplexed in his room. His friend, a guy he met while on a mission in the Outer Rim was always confusing. He was rarely straightforward about anything.

"Luke. How's Ben doing?" Leia asked, her arm around Han Solo, her husband. They looked happy as ever, they always loved hearing about their beloved son. Though this time, Luke had called them and they were curious as to what was going on.

"I'm afraid Ben is acting up lately. He seems to look up to Vader. Today, he said that Yoda was crazy and that I should have killed the Emperor in cold blood. I'm worried about Ben." Luke said as he scratched his beard replaying the sequence in his head. A shiver ran down his spine just thinking of the incident.

"Ben is a teenager. He is probably just grumpy." Leia said with a worried look on her face. She would never want Ben to be a hassle for her brother.

"Can you resolve that Luke?" Han asked nervously. This whole force thing had never made sense to him. He believed in it but never understood it. All he knew was that the Dark side was the bad guys, like Vader and the Light were the good guys, like the Jedi.

"I will try Han. He is my nephew and I would do anything for him." Luke said trying to hide his nervous demeanor with a smile.

"Thanks Luke. Talk to us if you need any help." Leia said before ending the call.

Short chapter 2. Tell me what you think. Reviews are welcome! I've gotten some great ones so far. A guest asked if I would include Rey. I may or may not. I haven't found a logical use yet and I don't believe she is Luke's daughter. I don't want to include too many TFA theories in this story so that means that Rey isn't Ben's sister or Luke's daughter.
