Note 25
Mom,
I don't know why the Council thinks it bad to miss someone. The Jedi Council doesn't like Qui-Gon either. Qui-Gon, you, and Palpatine are my favorite grownups in the whole galaxy. Padmé said I could live on Naboo at the palace and she would find something for me to do. Wouldn't that be great? I'd rather be on Naboo with Padmé than on Coruscant with Palpatine. I don't care about the boring grown-up stuff like politics.
Palpatine is a good man…and guess what…I heard he did get elected as Supreme Chancellor!! That is so cool. I contacted him, but he hasn't responded yet. I wanted to thank him for everything. Maybe you can meet him someday.
Yeah, but if the Jedi Council doesn't take me…how can I become a Jedi? Qui-Gon said he would make sure I was trained, but I don't understand how. Maybe he didn't know the Council would be so mean.
Yep, Padmé was the Queen! I feel really stupid about thinking I would marry her now. How could someone like her marry me? She is the smartest and bravest girl I've ever met…except for you. You mean some people in that situation would run in danger? I don't understand. How could they do that?
Obi-Wan stopped glaring at me, but he still doesn't say much to me. We're in the palace now. The hangar was so cool! They have all these yellow starships…and they even have a place for droids in the back. I got in one. The pilot got killed when we were inside the hangar. Qui-Gon told me to stay in the cockpit, and that I would be safe.
But I really want to be a part of the action. I want to help.
Everyone else was going to go in the main hangar door when the doors opened in front of them…and that scary Sith bad guy was standing there! He took his hood off and he has all these horns on his head. And guess what else…he has a DOUBLE LIGHTSABER. I think it was the same one that was on Tatooine. It was SCARY. Then Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan started fighting it.
Padmé and the others couldn't go anywhere because these droids with shields came along. I wanted to do something about it…but I couldn't think of anything. Then I remembered I was in the cockpit of a ship, and ships have weapons. I opened fire on them and blasted them….uh…but I can't get the ship to stop.
I don't know if Obi-Wan is jealous. He has talked to me a little, but not much, and he doesn't look angry when he talks to me anymore. Maybe he's trying to be nicer. Okay, I guess that might be true. Maybe he does feel like I'm taking his place. I don't understand why Jedi can only have one apprentice at a time.
It's so weird that stuff can grow naturally on some planets. Oh….I heard a little about grass before…from Qui-Gon and Padmé and Jar-Jar, but I didn't know that's what it was. Okay….so the stuff at the top of the trees are leaves? That's weird….but they are pretty. I like flowers. I especially like this one kind that has a stripe down the middle and has pretty green leaves. I don't understand about the different colors meaning different things, but I like seeing the colors.
Why would someone want to give a flower that meant jealousy? I don't understand.
You mean I really do have a father? I KNEW it!!!! If this Cliegg guy was married to you, and sold us into slavery when you were pregnant with me…he HAS to be my father! So his name is Summoner Skywalker, and that's where we get the last name. You said you "used" to be married to him. Did you get a divorce? When will we get to meet him? Wait...my father SOLD us into slavery because you were pregnant with me. You never told me that before. Wait until I'm a Jedi....I'll really get him. He'll be sorry that he ever did that! I hate him!! I hope that he dies a horrible death....I hope that I can kill him some day.
This ship is taking off…I gotta go.
I love you.
Anakin
