To Worry

If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying? If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying?

"Could you keep an eye on things for a moment?" asked Eva leaning back in the ship's seat.

"Sure" responded Obi-Wan. With that Eva quietly walked to the back of the ship where Luke lay. To her relief Luke was no longer laying on the bed, rather he was sitting and talking quietly with Mara.

"How are you feeling?" asked Eva.

"Oh, I'm better. It seems that when you yelled you startled him so it only hit my leg…nothing a bacta tank can't fix."

"Good." Was Eva's only reply as she turned and left. Immediately her mind began swarming with new worries. She slumped back into the chair next to Obi-Wan.

"What's the matter, Eva?" he asked noticing her grim demeanor.

"Nothing…just thinking…"

"About what?"

"Just all the things we have to do….stop the Imperials, then set up a new republic, we still have to get the Jedi order more organized, not to mention figure out what to do with the dark Jedi…and we have several planets in need of help."

Obi-Wan rested a comforting hand on her shoulder, "The weight of the world does not rest solely on your shoulders, Eva. You alone can't change the entire galaxy. A burden such as that is shared amongst us all."

"I know, but I still feel like it is all up to me."

"Your still a kid, Eva. Leave worrying up to us adults, we're very good at it." Replied Obi-Wan. Eva nodded and turned her attention back towards the window, staring out at the endless sea of black.

"Do you think," she asked, "we'll ever be rid of the Empire?"

"One day, they've been in control far too long already. "

"What will we do, once we are free I mean?"

"Set up a new government, obviously."

"But it's not that simple, is it. What kind of government. Certainly not an Empire, but we can't have the same government that you had during your time, for there were many flaw in it."

"We will think of something, though all forms of government have their certain flaws."

"Eva." Said Luke sternly.

"Couldn't I just listen?" she pleaded.

"Alright…have a seat." Replied Luke with a sigh.

Eva took her seat and the meeting began.

"Well you all know why we are here, we need to decide how this new Jedi order will work." Said Luke to the dozen or so Jedi gathered in the small room.

"The old Jedi order had its flaws, as I am sure this one will as well. Any ideas?"

"Hmm….some sort of council you should have." Said Yoda. Luke nodded.

"We need to set a new code for the Jedi."

Luke again was silent.

"Not to mention decide if we wish to use old traditions."

Luke spoke this time, ""All are very good points…I suppose some sort of council wouldn't be a bad idea, but not a council that elects its own members, what about one where the members are elected by their fellow Jedi"

"What if the Jedi elect someone who is incompetent? That system won't work then. That is why council members should elect their fellow members." Said one cross looking Jedi.

"Alright we will vote then. All in favor of a Council appointed by other Council members…"

A few hands rose, including that of the cross looking Jedi.

"So…one two three four five people for it, that leaves seven for an elected council….therefore we will have an elected council. Now I suppose the other issues will be covered once we have a council."

"Umm…" said Eva quietly, "When will we elect the council.?"

"At the next Jedi gathering….next week I believe. May the force be with you all" said Luke in dismissal

The group got to their feet. Luke heard a few mumbled 'May the force be with you's' as they went to the door. The cross looking Jedi was the last to leave. As the door zipped shut behind him, Eva turned to her Dad,

"I don't trust him." She said quietly.

"Neither do I." said Luke tidying up the small room.

"Who do you think will be elected."

"Master Yoda, of course. Obi-Wan, Master Windu, I think Master Pana might be on the council…"

'And what about you?" asked Eva.

Luke smiled, "I don't care whether or not I am on the council…"

"…If you say so…" mumbled Eva.

"Shouldn't you be with Master Kenobi?" asked Luke, a look of mock anger on his face.

"I'm sure he's very busy, I'm gonna just sit here."

"Oh, you are?" asked Luke playfully shooing her from the room.

"Oh, alright I'll leave." Said Eva in defeat running to catch up with Obi-Wan

"Ahh…there you are, I was wondering what was taking so long." Muttered Obi-Wan.

"Sorry…where are we going?" asked Eva, falling into step with him.

"On a mission…"

"Where?"

"Tatooine, to settle a minor dispute."

"I hate Tatooine. Wouldn't we be more useful doing something to stop the Imperials?"

" Hate is not a word to through around so carelessly, but I know all to well why you dislike that planet; you forget that I spent several years there before you were born. As for being more useful somewhere stopping the Imperials well, I'm surprised your father has sent you on any mission at all….You gave him quite a scare last time. I thought he would keep you at the temple forever."

"Yes, Master."

"We'll only be there a few days, Eva….we must return to the temple to vote next week…" he added, trying to lift Eva's spirits.

"Alright…."

They boarded the ship and set off for the long journey to Tatooine.
