Note 21

Qui-Gon,

Now we know where that ugly black and red Sith is…if it was the same one that was on Tatooine. Is it? I was REALLY scared when I saw it again….it took off its hood and it has horns on its head. And that was a really big lightsaber that it had too…there were blades at both ends. That was so weird.

You told me to stay in the cockpit of this fighter, but I really want to help.

Well we're here. We're at the palace now….I can't believe that Sith…that THING came back. You and Obi-Wan will show it what you're made of. I know that you guys can take it down and kill it. I hope it knows that you are Jedi, and that the Sith should never mess with Jedi.

Padmé and her friends were stuck in the hangar because these weird droids with shields showed up. They shot at them, but they didn't get hurt because of the shields. I knew I had to do something….and then I remembered that ships have weapons. I found the trigger button and I shot those droids with shields.

Hey, I can't stop this ship….I'm moving forward, but I think it's on automatic pilot. I don't know where it's taking me yet…R2 is with me. Maybe he can figure it out. Well…I have to put on this helmet.

I think the Jedi Council is letting their fear control them, if they don't want me to be trained.

I know, but being a Jedi is what I've always dreamed of doing! You mean I'll always be faced with trials if I get to be in the Jedi Order? I don't understand.

But I don't always think of her. The Jedi Council doesn't know what I think about, and they don't know me.

That little troll can lift an entire building off its foundations? I don't believe that! No one could do that…especially someone so short. You think he could defeat you in lighsaber combat? I guess if you think he could, then he can…but I don't see how. His mastery of the Force is that much superior to you? That's weird. He doesn't seem to be gentle and have that much goodness…but maybe after I contact him some more, he will seem like that. I hope so. Then maybe he'll let me be trained.

Okay…but I don't think the Jedi Council liked me….but oh well….I guess after the battle we'll find out, right? Are we going to meet with them again sometime soon? I hope so.

But Palpatine sat next to me and said nice things to me. How can that be bad? You said a cloud surrounds him. I don't understand. He's one of the nicest grownups I have ever met. I don't see how something is "amiss" about him. Okay, I'll try to be mindful and watchful, but what should I look for?

Okay…thanks for telling me about the grass, trees, leaves, and flowers. I heard of grass and trees before, but I didn't know that's what they looked like.

I know that Padmé is a person, but she wouldn't want to marry me now. I never heard of a Queen marrying a slave before.

Yeah…I heard that Palpatine was elected, and I'm happy. I think he deserved it. I tried contacting him, but he hasn't responded yet.

Maybe…I've only been to three planets in my entire planet. I don't know about the laws on those planets, but my mother said that certain things were always wrong, and I agree with her.

Obi-Wan finally said something to me, and he doesn't seem as mean as before. He still hasn't REALLY talked to me, but maybe after the battle he will want to.

Okay…well this ship is taking off into space. I hope Padmé's safe now, and I hope you take the bad guy down so he never bothers anyone ever again.
