He steps closer to her. "Through your actions, you will change the galaxy at large. I have set you all on your own courses to solve the many issues around the galaxy. And as your fix those issues, you will tell them you are Jedi Knights, and reclaim the title of peacekeepers we were always meant to be."/span/p

"I need you to lead them in my stead. You are going to learn a great many things in the years to come, and I cannot promise I will ever return. We have taught each other a great many things, and my final lesson to you is this: pass on what you have learned. To all who seek to come here and learn the ways of the Jedi, the path to the light, pass it on."/span/p

"Mira and Bao-Dur? Never. They have their own roles to fill, and yours is as their leader. I trust you as much as I trust everyone else. Trust in the Force, Brianna, and it will lead you to the light." He turns around to enter the Ebon Hawk, and the engines begin to rev, steam pouring from the coolant valves. /span/p
