What I Wish I Could Tell My Granddaughter
By Saber Girl Jaina
A/N: Comments on birth-control pushed us up a rating. Remember kids, scary mask guy has it write on this one! Furthermore, keep the suggestions rolling. An idea of my own: we've heard so much about Wes, maybe we should see what he himself has to say. Anyone interested?
Credits: From Vegimite's suggestion for Anakin/Jaina advice giving- I'm trying not to break with continuity, so this is what he would tell her if they could talk to her. He told Yoda all about this, until he got hit with the non-corporeal-stick-'o-doom. Then he went off to talk to Obi-Wan.
I wish I could tell my granddaughter about BUREAUCRACY. "There is one evil greater than the Sith."
I wish I could tell my granddaughter about POLITICIANS. "Most of them are annoying. Some of them are the source of all evil."
I wish I could tell my granddaughter about MAINTAINING THE SECRECY OF CLANDESTINE AFFAIRS. "If you're having sex with a senator, for the Force's sake, use protection!"
I wish I could tell my granddaughter about THE RELATIVITY OF RELEVANCE. "… wait, that doesn't exactly work the same way in your case, does it? WELL USE PROTECTION ANYWAY! I WASN'T THE ONE TO GET PREGNANT, YET I STILL ENDED UP SLAUGHTERING MILLIONS!"
I wish I could tell my granddaughter about THEM. "They're always there. There are never more than two but they're always there. You may laugh at me now, but just wait! Just wait until they come for you!"
I wish I could tell my granddaughter about GUNGANS. "Okay, two evils."
I wish I could tell my granddaughter about FAMILY TRADITIONS. "By the time you're thirty, you must have lost your right hand and blown up a large spherical ship which is threatening the continued freedom of at least one planet."
I wish I could tell my granddaughter about THE GALACTIC ECONOMY. "-and Tatooine's main exports are Jedi and starfighter pilots."
