Yoda
Leaning on his cane to balance himself physically, he closed his eyes and grimaced in an effort to remain stable in the rush of emotions that came at him through the Force.
The future is in motion
He caught his breath as the sensation passed, but now there was a void in the Force. A void that his fellow Jedi Obi-Wan once filled. He knew it was the apprentice's doing; the one who had turned and brought the Jedi Order to its knees.
The future is in motion
Thinking back, he wondered how things could have changed so suddenly. He hadn't foreseen it, for as strong as he was, it was impossible to see the always-swirling future. Still, he couldn't help but feel as if there were something he could have done.

Guilt and shame had followed him the past eight years, surfacing at the most peculiar times, when at certain moments strange deja-vu would evoke old memories. Other occasions, he would be reminded of the two young children that were hidden away.

He sat with an effort and stared into the crackling fire before him. Despite all he and his allies had fought through and sworn to protect, they - he - had failed.

The boy had been found, and Kenobi was dead. The young, innocent light was now with his dark father. The Force was swirling with the change, with the destinies that had been altered.

The hope for the future of the galaxy had all but vanished in the Force. He settled into a meditative state, searching, feeling, hoping that somehow, there was still a way.
The future is in motion
Riding the currents of the Force, he felt weightless as time and change passed before him. He saw a galaxy, once hopeless, filled with an ever-growing brightness, a glowing from within. The light was then swallowed as a cold, expansive darkness wormed up from the core and took ahold of everything, from one end of the galaxy to another.

He heard mournful cries, both of terror and pain, as every last bit of light was sucked from the galaxy before him. Then it slowly disappeared, breaking apart with thundering silence. His heart ached as the void grew and space seemed not to notice that something was missing - as if it never was significant at all.

He found it difficult not to give in to the discouragement that swirled around him. Plunging in, he flew back and forth over time, viewing possible futures and changes, hoping that somehow, a spark would ignite into a flame that could keep the galaxy whole.

He couldn't know. All he could tell was that the light would be gone. The future looked black and hopeless. He lay down, his eyes closed.

He wondered where he and the Jedi had gone wrong...how a future that looked so bright could become so bleak.

As his breath slowed and finally stopped, he left the galaxy that had once loved him but no longer needed him.
