Chapter Five:

"How could you want to give him his son back!" Owen Lars demanded.

"It may turn him against the Emperor." Obi-Wan said, beginning to get frustrated.

"So you don't even know if it will work?"

"No we don't."

"You underestimated the Emperor before and now look at you. You're hiding from him like a coward!"

"Owen calm down. There has to be more to this," Beru Lars gently told her husband. "Why don't you let Master Yoda talk."

Everyone turned their attention to Yoda, who sat off to the side watching the entire conversation thus far without saying a word. He sighed slightly.

"Depressed he is. Possibly he will turn back. Only the Force knows."

"But are you really going to take Luke from us?" Beru asked worried. She wasn't able to have children of her own. By having Luke there, it was the only way that she and Owen would ever be able to raise a child of their own. Even if it was their nephew.

"Most likely. But we don't know when it will happen." Obi-Wan calmly said.

"So if Anakin simply says that he is not on the side of the Emperor anymore, you're just going to give Luke back to him?" Beru asked.

"Not as easy as that. Test him we will." Yoda said. "Only revealing our plans to you."

Beru and Owen looked at each other. Their worst nightmare would come true – Luke possibly would be taken from them.


"Master Yoda, do you think it was wise to inform them about our plans?" Obi-Wan asked after they had left the Lars homestead.

"Yes Obi-Wan. Needed to know they did."

"But why?"

"Less heartache in future."

Obi-Wan sighed heavily. This entire ordeal about trying to turn Darth Vader back into Anakin Skywalker was wearing thin. He was beginning to not believe that it would work.

"Master would the suit be removed from him?"

"Possibly. Leave now I must. Look for me Vader soon will be."

"Look for you?"

"Need not worry Obi-Wan. Return soon I will."

Obi-Wan watched as Yoda headed off into the distance. He still had his doubts.


Vader looked at the hologram that was before him. It was of the planet from his dream with Qui-Gon Jinn – Dagobah. What could possibly be waiting for him on this planet? He decided that he better investigate.
