After his lecture allana met up with ben. She was curious as to some of the things he had said about her father.
"master," she called out, running down the hall.
Ben turned around and chuckled sensing allana's determination, "yes, Amelia?"
"master I have some questions about your lecture today, I was wondering if you could tell me some more about Jacen Solo. He sounds like an interesting person."
Ben looked at her sor a few seconds, thinking, then said, "I may not be the person to ask about him, you might want to ask uncle han and aunt leia, they'll be able to tell you about his childhood and the vong war. All I can tell you is his fall."
Allana looked up at ben, pondering if she should press on or not, then decided to continue anyway, "but master, I want to know about that, I want to know why he would do such terrible things, especially when his grandfather was one of the most hated villians of all time!"
Ben cringed a little at the mention of vader, then sighed, "fine, we will continue this discussion at home, now, I think you have some sparring scheduled."
Allana understood the dismissal and anxiously went to her sparring, and was, for once, glad it was over.
Allana sat on a couvh in the sparsely furnished apartment looking in earnest at her master.
Ben sighed and turned sad eyes to allana, "you asked why your father did what he did."
Allana nodded and continued staring at him.
"your father was more like vader than most people know, he did what he did for love."
Allana was stunned and could handel no more that opening and closing her mouth a few times.
"Allana, your father was trying to bring peace and order to a chaotic galaxy, in that respect I suppose I still admire him," ben chuckled, "actually, allana, your father is still my hero."
Allana was even more surprised by this but managed to ask, "wh- what do you mean?"
Ben paused to collect his thoughts for a moment before continuing, "your father was born in a chaotic era, the empire was resurgent, then throught his childhood he was subject to multiple attacks…"
"master," allana inturrpted, "I can get all of this from the temple computers."
"well then, I can tell you something you can't get off of those computers, or any computers, for that matter, your father's motovation for his crimes was you."
Allana stared at ben and tears threatened her eyes when she chocked out, "so, so all those deaths… they were because of me."
"no, but you were your father's reason, he wanted to bring peace to the galaxy so that you didn't grow up in the galaxy that he did. He wanted you to be able to grow up without having to fight in a war from your teens until you die."
Allana was starting to see what ben was telling her as something that she could live with, her father had done terrible things in her name, but it was out of love, and he did try to make the galaxy better.
"your father also did one thing that you should be forever grateful for."
"what?"
"he sacrificed himself for you."
Allana stared at ben for a few seconds before her brain processed what he was saying.
"if you want, I can teach you a tecnique to talk to him through the barrier of death."
Ok so my knowledge of beyond shsadows is limited at best, all I have is a wookiepedia article to go off of, and have never read FotJ.
So, I'm gonna share some of my force ideas and do some insane stuff to the SW universe.
Also, should allana have a love interst, I can make a decent story either way, but I want input!
And ben, his wife, input would be nice there as well, I'm thinking seha(minor character in LotF) but I am open to suggestions.
