When the former Jedi were brought back in, Luke began.
"The council has reached its verdict. Master Yoda and Master Kenobi will both their ranks as Jedi Masters reinstated and will also be granted seats on this council, if they accept them that is." Luke said.
"I would be honored to sit on this council with my former padawan and you other fine Jedi." Obi-Wan said.
"Offered me, I agree and I also accept this position on the jedi council you have." Yoda said.
"Excellent. As for Master Windu, the council has decided that until we see physical proof of your talents and your value to the Jedi Order, you will stand at the rank of Jedi Knight and you will not have a seat on the council." Luke said.
Windu looked like he was about to protest, but then thought better of it.
"As for father, well, the council has suspended judgement for the time being." Luke said.
"What does that mean?" Anakin asked.
"It means that you will not inducted into the Jedi Order yet, but you will also not be turned away either." Leia said.
"For how long?" Anakin asked.
"Until you pass a test designed to see if you've truly renounced your dark path. If you pass, then you will be welcomed into the order with open arms, though your rank has not yet been decided." Ahsoka said.
"And if I fail?" Anakin asked.
"Then you will be banished into the Unknown regions where your dark powers cannot pose a threat to the Republic or the Jedi." Mara said.
"I understand." Anakin said.
"If that is all, I think we can call this meeting adjourned." Luke said and the other masters nodded as Ezra's holo transmission ended and the other masters left the chamber, as did Obi-Wan, Yoda and Windu, though Luke could tell that he'd have to speak to Windu about the council's ruling of him later.
"Don't worry father. I do not believe the force would've brought you back if there were still darkness in you." Luke tried to assure his father.
"Then why are you making me take this test?" Anakin asked.
"It's more of a reassurance for the rest of the council then anything else. Proof that you really are free of the darkness that is Vader." Luke assured him and Anakin nodded.
"You know Windu will not be happy about his current rank in the order." Anakin said to his son.
"He was once master of the Jedi Order. He has to understand that I am doing what I believe is best for the Republic and Jedi. Besides, I could've made him a padawan." Luke said and Anakin chuckled.
"So where will this test be taking place?" Anakin asked.
"On Dagobah. There's a cave on the planet that's strong with the dark side of the force. If you can make it through without succumbing to the dark side, you pass." Luke said.
"Oh, it's as simple as that huh?" Anakin asked sarcastically.
"Hey, it's either that, spend the rest of your life in the Unknown Regions. Which do you prefer?" Luke asked and Anakin gave in.
"Fine." Anakin said.
As Anakin predicted, Mace was waiting for him and Luke outside the council chamber.
"Master Skywalker, as word?" Mace asked and Luke nodded as he left his father to speak with Windu in private.
"You want to know the council's reasoning for your rank in the Jedi order." Luke said before Mace could say anything.
"Yes. I'm sure you know that I was a powerful Jedi Master during the time of the old Order. I'd make valuable asset to your council. So why only make me a knight?" Mace asked.
"The council's reasoning is simply that we have no physical proof of your skills, only your claims and accounts from Ahsoka and Kanan, and I'm afraid that is not enough to warrant giving you a seat on the council or even a master's rank." Luke explained.
"But you have personal reasons behind it?" Mace asked as they continued to walk.
"I can sense that you're strong with the Force and I'm sure that you're skilled with a lightsaber, but you are also closed minded." Luke said.
"I'm sorry, I don't follow." Mace said.
"Unlike Obi-Wan, Yoda and my father, you seem unwilling to open your mind up to new possibilities or the ways of our new order that differ from the ones your old one. You might try to change things back to the way they were in the old order and I cannot allow that. Only when you have both proven your skills and opened your mind to the ways of the new order will the council consider making you a master once more. Now if you'll excuse me, I have other dealings to attend to." Luke said as he walked away from Mace who was now deep in thought.
"Ben." Luke said as he approached both of his old masters.
Obi-Wan chuckled and said "Luke, I believe you should call me Obi-Wan now, since not only are we friend, but that is my name."
"You will always be Ben to me. But anyways, I have something in the library that I believe will be of great use to you." Luke said as he led Obi-Wan and Yoda into the library.
"Sense something powerful contained in this vault master skywalker, do I, hmm?." Yoda asked as they approached a vault inside the library, which Luke then used the Force to open.
"This vault contains the most sacred and powerful artifacts of the new Jedi Order, including the holocrons we were able to salvage from Coruscant." Luke said.
"So, you're giving me a holocron?" Obi-Wan asked as they entered the vault.
"No, something much more valuable that I also recovered during the Republic's raid on Coruscant." Luke said as they approached a small chest, opened it and pulled something out.
"I have kept this locked away in here for 7 years, but now, I think it's time that it's returned to you." Luke said as he presented Obi-Wan with his old lightsaber.
"My lightsaber. How did you?" Obi-Wan asked.
"After your death, my father took your weapon as a trophy and kept it hidden in his home on Coruscant, until I recovered it." Luke said.
"I sense something powerful coming from that chest. What contain does it, hmm?" Yoda asked, referring to another crate that was close by.
"Another relic from the past that for right now is best left where it is." Luke said as he led the 2 Jedi out of the vault.
