Note 3

Yoda,

Now that the meeting is finished, what is your view? A Sith alive? It is evident that a Force-Sensitive individual found the ancient Sith Journal and learned how to become a Sith from that. We knew that the volume was rumored to have survived the Sith's destruction 1,000 years ago (at the founding of the Republic), but the news is still alarming that someone discovered it. No doubt this Sith has a connection to the Trade Federation's invasion. There was no logic behind the Federation's movements…but what would a Sith want with an invaded planet? There must be some goal for the Sith, or they would not have done this. We must meditate on this. The Sith certainly was after the Queen…I think that is safe to assume.

And the boy, Anakin Skywalker? What do you think of him? Qui-Gon is firm in his belief that Anakin is the chosen one. His midi-cholorian count IS very high…he passed all the tests I presented him with. Someone who has such a strong connection with the force who has never had any Jedi Training should not be allowed to become a Jedi. You and I both know how dangerous it could be…he has no Jedi upbringing, and we have no idea what is already in his head. I was right in saying the boy should not be trained, don't you think?

It's nice that the boy supposedly has a higher midi-cholorian count than anyone else, and that he helped Qui-Gon and the queen, but still, I do not feel that that warrants his being trained. It is far too risky.

And then Qui-Gon offered to take Anakin as his Padawan Learner, that Obi-Wan was ready to take the trials. Sigh…I don't know what to do about the situation. We should just worry about it after events cool down. Obi-Wan is a good Padawan, but do you think he is ready for the trials? And I don't think we should allow Anakin to be trained…but I am open to your opinion.

With the Queen headed to Naboo, maybe the Sith attacker will reveal himself again. Hopefully we can learn more about the situation, as well as the Sith's identity. What do you think about Queen Amidala's decision to go back to Naboo?

The Senate is also voting for a new Supreme Chancellor. Have you heard any word about it? I heard that the nominees were Senator Palpatine of Naboo and Bail Antilles of Alderaan, and then someone from Malastare.

Mace Windu
