'Re: Vader's latest message to Luke
Are you sure it is from Vader? The whole tone seems totally different, unduly
familiar and avuncular.
Requesting a meeting, *snort*! Really, how thick can you be?
The Anakin Skywalker part was confusing. Vader didn't kill him; General Kenobi
nearly killed him; etc, etc. From Vader's tone I got the feeling they were close.
Also, note the present tense. Mon, do you know what happened to Anakin
Skywalker? Perhaps our Mr X on Coruscant has the means to find out.
Luke, the man seems to be willing to divulge information to you. Keep up your
contact, if possible; but be careful, it could be a trap. What is this proposal of
his that he keeps yakking about?

Hello.
Thanks for clarifying the Jedi training question for me.
You ask me to meet you. Not a good idea. I may be a farmboy, but I'm not that naive.
What do you want with me, anyway? Can't you just write?
You were sorta confusing about my father, Anakin Skywalker. If you didn't kill
him, then who did? Or did he really die in a space accident, like my uncle told
me? Did he die at all? You speak of him as if he were alive. If that is so, please
just tell me. I grew up knowing he was a space navigator, and then bam! Ben
drops the bomb that he was a Jedi. Since then I've been trying to learn more about
him, but I've begun to feel there is a cosmic conspiracy to hide the truth. You
know, this is really frustrating.
Luke Skywalker

Hullo, honey,
Oh what an itchy list of names! How about a lecture in history?
One Obi-Wan Kenobi used to be Anakin Skywalker's Jedi master. He was
presumed to have died shortly after Clone Wars, only to reappear in holonews
earlier this year. Fishy, this Jedi business. Wouldn't be surprised if he popped
up again twenty years from now, happy and rosy-cheeked as ever.
Now, love, ask yourself what is the connection between Vader and Anakin
Skywalker. As you remember, Vader made his first appearance late in the clone
wars, that was about 20 months before Skywalker's death. Then he disappears
from the news for more than a year. And see holo archives for the change of
appearance. His trademark outfit didn't appear before his re-emergence. What
do you make of it?
Yours,
Borsk

I keep wondering why you are so fixated on your father. Be careful what you ask,
young one. How would feel if you found out he was nothing like what you expect?
Then again, would and should you believe it if I told you?
Your intuition serves you well. That is all I can say in this matter.

Forwarding the tasty bits, for your enjoyment. Mon, you owe me 20,000, which
went to the greedy lizard for this.
Always at your service,
