Note 3
Obi-Wan Kenobi,
Thank you for responding to me so promptly. I am sure you are morning the loss of your Jedi Master. Such a shame that things had to happen the way they did, isn't it.
I have decided that there will be a funeral service for him. He must have been a great Jedi Knight. Hopefully this will be sufficient for you…
So this boy's name is Anakin Skywalker. Hmmm….I've never heard of the name Skywalker before. Were his parents Jedi? It is obvious to me that you, the Council, and your old Jedi Master value this boy. I can't help but wonder why. Is there something special about him?
So he is your Padawan…I'll have to keep that in mind.
I know enough about the Sith to know that when one exists, there is usually a master and an apprentice. Since there was only one Sith killed, I can only assume that the other is still alive, and could pose a threat to you.
If this is so, we must make sure that Anakin is protected….there is obviously something special about him, the way everyone treats him…how force sensitive is he? If he's very force sensitive, his life might be in danger.
I feel that as Supreme Chancellor, I have an obligation to protect the people of the Republic. I request that you tell me everything you know about Anakin. I know you said that you cannot reveal anything inside the Jedi Council, but I AM the Supreme Chancellor. I feel that I need to be informed about the situation fully so that I can help protect Anakin.
Think it over, but I do want to try my best to protect him.
Supreme Chancellor Palpatine
