It's been a little while since I had time to update this Holocron of mine. What have I been up to? Well, I have the time right now to tell you! A lot of other Jedi including Master Kire have been commissioned into the Grand Army of the Republic. I wasn't chosen because I was told I need to be here and keep our supplies stocked, organized and at the ready. I'm not as annoyed as I might be about that task because I am also helping to have Jedi Starfighters repaired, upgraded and at the ready when our pilots go out. It does feel weird being "left behind" while everyone else is directly involved in the war, but what am I going to do but follow orders, you know? I keep busy though. We're already several months into the war and even with the clone army, the specialized ARC Troopers and Jedi, we're so losing.
Anakin and his Master Kenobi are becoming celebrities though. They do tend to come out victors on their missions and the HoloNet is eating that up.
Around the Temple, rumors go around that Anakin is going to be Knighted soon. I mean, why not? He is only this hero of the Republic now. Besides the news reports, actors actually dress up and play as Anakin in holodramas! Or so I hear. I don't have time and we're discouraged from holodramas at the Temple anyway. I still remember his temper tantrums though when we were younger and wonder if he is… if he's like that still. I mean, I'm sure Master Kenobi would have worked that out with Anakin, but… I don't know. I just wonder. Back then, he creeped me out as much as all of this news about General Grievous and Count Dooku do today.
Anakin being Knighted isn't the only rumor though. I've also had people ask me if it's true that Siri is going to be a Jedi Knight soon. Stang! Will everyone be a Knight before me? I… I mean… okay, yeah, I am sounding jealous again. Siri would tell me to get a grip and not act like Coruscant's sun rises and sets on me. Siri would also tell me that I sound like Anakin, and yeah, that's about the worst reprimand a guy can get! Anyway, apparently she has done some amazing work in the battlefield, helping civilians who have been wounded in the war. The Confederacy is making this bigger than targeting the Jedi and the Republic's Army and civilians are getting hurt. But I can be proud to say that my best friend Siri Sarae is out there making a difference!
…even if I am still here at the Temple being the go-to guy for parts and repairs.
