Emerging from the ship in a quiet alcove, he was not surprised to see the small ghostly figure.

Yoda.

"Taught you much I have."

"Still more to learn there is."

He could not tell if Yoda's smile was based on his response, but he thought so.

"Defeated them both, you did. A Jedi you have become; a Master at that."

He let his blade fall to the ground. The ghostly figured smiled; pleased.

"Wise you have become. The circle is now complete."

Yoda's ghostly image slowly faded away. The blade sizzled as its crystal was set to over ride.

Looking up, Luke smiled; a true smile; one full of hope, not obligation.

He was free to live.
