"Recording. Recording.
"C-3PO speaking.
We have so much to do now. And now Professor Bren has organized some kind of interview process for Jedi candidates. I don't know why we need any more people here. This Temple is barely habitable now as it is. And really, I think that some of these candidates are a bit questionable.

"Uh, hello? My name is Lyas Uradana. I took this test. And it was free. And they said my midi-somethings were really high and that I should apply for this. It's something with the New Republic on Coruscant.
"I just got out of school and haven't found a job yet. I mean there's not out right. Everybody moving around and it's like you need to know a lot of people to get even and interview. Like that, ever since the Imperial governor got shot. I don't think anything's really going right, here. So, I'm really ready to relocate if that's what I need to do.
"I'm a really good people person. Um, I did a lot of that working through school. Its all in my resume. It's attached to this. Uh, lemme check the file.
"Yeah, its all there. So, ah, have a nice day.

"Greetings. I am Ping Alduto.
"I was an initiate at the Jedi Temple during the Clone Wars, but I was sent to the Agri-Corps. We managed to escape the purge and hide. And. . . . . . . if you'll have me, I would like to submit myself for training.
"There are others, from Agri-Corps, who escaped. But I'll only speak for myself. They do know about you. And I think that most of them will come forward, eventually.
"I. . . . .I met a Jedi on Tatooine once. It's a terrible planet and I though he was just passing through the spaceport like me. But I heard that you came from Tatooine, so I guess. . . . . . it must have been General Kenobi. He didn't show his face. Now I can see why. You were what he was waiting for. What a lot of us were waiting for. . . . . .
"May the Force be with you."

"My wife put me up to this. I've been saying to her for years that my father was a Jedi who was on the wrong side of the sheets with my mother. That's why I'm good at my job. Well, that's what my mother told me before she died. Didn't tell me what she was doing sleeping with a Jedi, but that kind of parentage isn't what you want to advertise with the Empire
"Well, Mirrax said that I better put up or shut up and take that midichlorine test. I got a high score. So, I guess that means something after all. I was never sure if that Jedi stuff was really true or just a good story.
"Well, I'm a good cop. I can do this. How hard can it be?"

"I'm Relenas Skywalker. My daughter, Florin, was given your test. She's three. And I was told that it was favorable, and that I should contact you.
"My friend told me that Jedi used to steal children and that I should hide, but I don't think that's true. Just more of the Empire's propaganda. You can't believe anything they said back then. It was all lies. They killed so many people, but it didn't make anything they did true.
I don't think anything in the New Republic can be worse than what's going on here. And I don't their laws would let anyone take my child from me. I won't let it happen.
"I don't think we're related at all. Skywalker is a very common name in the Palentas Sector here on Moodasa. We don't have any close family. At least none that we associate with. My daughter's father, Davet Miggie, died fighting for the Rebellion a few years ago. I don't think he knew anything at all about Jedi.
"I was told that I would be offered passage for the trip to Coruscant. I don't have any other way of getting there unless you do.

Hello. I'm Natra Gomflek. I heard about you on the holos and I took your test.
But that's not the first time I've ever had a midichlorine test. In the old Republic, I tested high enough to be taken into the Jedi Temple as an Initiate. But when I was eleven years old I KNEW I wasn't going to fight in any Clone Wars and I told them that they could just ship me off to the Argi-Corps right then 'cause there was no way they were going to make me fight.
So, I was there when the Republic turned on the Jedi and I got away with some others before the clones came after us.
And I STILL won't fight any wars, but other than that I guess I don't mind taking up with the Jedi again. That's all I have to say. Let me know if it's enought.
