Note 17
Four years after the Trade Federation invasion
Four years later
Master Yoda,
How do you feel Obi-Wan is doing in his training of Anakin? It appears to me that he is doing well. No Jedi Master can force a Padawan to be a certain way. Anakin is coming along nicely. His abilities are high, and I am impressed with the boy's progress. He is 14 now. The recent vacation that we gave the pair seemed to do them both good.
It is true; a Jedi must be completely committed to the Order. Since it is apparent that Dooku was not, he did the right thing in leaving us. I don't like to see Jedi leave, but it is for the best. A skilled Jedi who is not completely committed to the Order is a liability to both it and the Republic.
I am not sure what is happening with Count Dooku, but I do not like the idea of outsiders corresponding with us. Since he is no longer in the Order, I suggest that we stop corresponding with him. He can no longer contribute to the Order, nor can we afford to give him inside information. We must inform him that we can no longer contact him.
After four years of investigations, we have learned nothing further of Master Sifo-Dyas' death. There is little doubt that it was a murder. However, it was not witnessed by anyone on Blue Waters, where he died. Do you feel it would be best to close his case?
Although it does not concern the Council, have you heard the news that the Courts have released all charges against the Trade Federation?
Master Mace Windu
Part 2
Six years after the Trade Federation Invasion on Naboo
Two years later
Due to the reported strange activity on Dantooine, I have sent several Jedi to investigate the situation. They should be reporting to us shortly. This could be the breakthrough in the Sith investigations that we have been hoping for. Then again, this could prove to be nothing more than another riot from the Trade Federation.
I was also thinking that the Supreme Chancellor might need to be protected. Last year the Trade Federation heavily targeted him in their riots. Because of this, the Senate has voted to remove the Trade Federation's seat in the Senate. This action against the Trade Federation may draw out the Sith, and the Supreme Chancellor is likely to be one of the targets. What do you think on this matter?
Part 3
Eight years after the Trade Federation Invasion on Naboo
Two years later
I assume that you heard the news by now – Count Dooku has formally left the Republic. He told me that he was thinking of doing this, and I advised him not to. I told him that if he were to declare himself independent of the Republic, the Jedi could not assist him if he ever were in need of our services.
Count Dooku thinks that if he forms his own government, which he has called The Separatists, that he can create it without corruption. As he was once a Jedi, I have faith in him that he will not stir trouble for the Republic. My concern is the Republic's response to the Separatist movement. The Republic may try to fight Dooku. Let us hope that the peace remains.
The Trade Federation has joined Dooku in this movement.
