Note 7
Five years after the Naboo Invasion
One year later
Jedi Master Windu,
I am pleased to hear that all is well in the Jedi Order, and I trust that that is still the case?
If Madme Nu is her usual self, than all must truly be all right within the Order.
What is this that I have heard recently of the Trade Federation causing riots in the Republic? I've heard that Nute Gunray has even directly threatened the Supreme Chancellor. This cannot be good.
No, I have not met the Padawan of Obi-Wan Kenobi, but I have heard of him. When Qui-Gon first found the boy, he and I had discussed him. I trust that his training is going well? Yes, I was well aware that Qui-Gon wished Anakin to be trained. Before he died, he contacted me saying that he would have Obi-Wan train the child.
It is good to hear that Obi-Wan is following the teachings of Qui-Gon, which would mean that he is indirectly following my teachings. I would expect nothing but top level performance from a former apprentice of Qui-Gon's. It does not surprise me that he is progressing well.
Surely you could spare time to relate one or two tales of Anakin's adventures. If you do not have the time to do so, I understand.
So Anakin visits Palpatine? That is surprising, considering that the Jedi do not normally mix with politicians. It seems that Palpatine has befriended the boy, then. I'm sure Anakin appreciates this extension of friendship from someone outside of the Jedi Order. Yes, it is a good idea to allow Anakin to visit the Supreme Chancellor, considering that Anakin grew up on a planet that was outside of Republic jurisdiction. If he is to serve as a guardian of it, he needs to understand Republic politics. Eventually, he probably will come to share the Jedi distaste for politics.
I am quite aware of how Jedi are supposed to function within the Republic.
