The room emptied in thirty seconds, leaving R2, Luke, and the hypnotist alone. The hypnotist narrowed his eyes at Luke.

"Can you arrest me later, boy?" he called to Luke from the stage. The hypnotist's assistant put his hands in front of him, made them into fists, and made a noise resembling a podracer

"I'm not here to arrest you." Luke said.

"Oh." the hypnotist sighed, obviously with relief. He jumped off of the stage and approached Luke. As he got closer, R2 backed away. "Well then what are you here for?"

"I have some questions." Luke held his saber a little tighter.

"I'll answer them once you put that lightsaber away." the hypnotist said, looking at Luke's weapon. Reluctantly, Luke turned of his saber and clipped the hilt onto his belt.

"So, what's your first question?" the hypnotist was expecting simple 'How do you do that?' questions.

"Who were you before you came here?" Luke asked. The hypnotist went pale. He turned around and walked back toward the stage, hands behind his back. His expression became serious.

"Do you want to know the truth?" he asked.

"Yes." Luke answered. And so the hypnotist told the truth:

"I am a refugee from Order 66, the order that eliminated the Jedi of the Old Republic. After the Jedi purge on Coruscant, I came here, where no one would expect a Jedi to be. I acted like the people here, but the act became the person. I went mad."

"Mad enough to create a Force Shadow?" Luke asked. Now the hypnotist grinned.

"Perhaps."

In less than a second, Luke's re-ignited blade was at the hypnotist's throat.

"Hey, hey!" the hypnotist shouted. "I said that I could, not that I did!" Luke turned the lightsaber off, but kept the hilt by his side.

"To tell you the truth," the hypnotist said. "I've been having the same trouble you've been having. The Force will barely answer me. Only my mind tricks will work because I use them so often. However," the hypnotist grinned, and out of his sleeve came an old, metal device. "I keep my lightsaber handy in case there's a fight during a show. What's your name, anyways?"

"What's yours?" Luke asked. "Your Jedi name, I mean."

"Ki-No Taj." The hypnotist said, his smile fading.

"I'm Luke Skywalker." Luke loosened his grip on his lightsaber hilt.

"YOU!" Ki-No Taj screamed. He ignited his lightsaber, his yellow blade pointing at Luke's throat. "YOU'RE FATHER LED THE ATTACK ON THE JEDI TEMPLE THAT NIGHT! HE KILLED EVERYONE! EVEN CHILDREN!" Luke was too shocked to speak. "I will now kill you, in honor of all of those innocent lives!" the hypnotist shouted, and he swung his blade at Luke's neck. Luke ducked, ignited his saber, and blocked the next blow to the waist.

"Stop!" Luke shouted. "He also killed the Emperor and came back to the light!"

"Do not lie! Your father was friends with Darth Sidious!" Ki-No growled.

"Who?" Luke asked.

"THE EMPEROR! THE SITH LORD WHO STARTED THE CLONE WARS!" Ki-No screamed. He swung again… blocked.

"Calm down! My father betrayed Palpatine!" Luke begged. The hypnotist realized what he was doing and turned off his lightsaber. Luke did the same.

"I'm sorry," the old Jedi said. "I shouldn't have done that. But I can help you find the cause of this Force Shadow. There is a planet called Kerran not so far away from here. Nobody lives there except for one man. He is a user of the Dark Side of the Force, not a Sith-" Ki-No saw that Luke didn't know what a Sith was. "A Sith is a Dark Side follower. Anyways, on Kerran there is a Dark Side user who has not seen civilization in decades. From his small home he shines a light that can be seen miles up into space. He hopes that the light will bring people to him so that he can make them his apprentices. No one ever goes there, though. He might have caused the Shadow."

"Thank you." Luke said. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No, I'm fine here with my show," Ki-No smiled. "Goodbye, young Skywalker. May the Force be with you."

"And with you!" Luke called as he left the building. R2 was far ahead of him…

But the little droid came back beeping like crazy. It almost crashed into Luke!

"What's wrong?" Luke asked. R2 beeped an explanation that even C3P0 would not be able to translate. Confused, Luke looked down the street…

Only to see an entire legion of stormtroopers looking for him.
