Note 21

Master Yoda,

Thank you. It is good to be back on Coruscant.

I will bring Anakin as well as Obi-Wan with me to the meeting. If the Council wishes to meet with Anakin privately for the examination, I will wait outside with Obi-Wan. I understand that the decision process may take some time.

I will see you then. I trust that the Council will make a fully informed decision about Anakin.

(after the meeting)

Now that the Council has met with Anakin privately, how can the Council decide that Anakin cannot be trained? He is the Chosen One; you must see it.

Anakin has already informed me of your decision.

If you will not allow him to be trained as a youngling, then I take Anakin Skywalker as my Padawan Learner. I realize that Obi-Wan is my apprentice, but I feel that he is ready to take the trials. He is headstrong and has much to learn of the living Force, but he is capable. There is little more he can learn from me.

Has the Council reached a decision about the slavery on Tatooine?

Qui-Gon Jinn
