Note 19

Mom,

I really wish you could be free too, mom. Someday you will be. Like I said, someday when I'm a Jedi, I'll come back and free you…that's a promise.

Well…I'm not a Jedi yet. I haven't been able to talk to the Jedi Council people yet. The Jedi Council is a group of Jedi that are kind of like the leaders, I guess. I think they make the rules or something. Qui-Gon's going to let me see them, but he and Obi-Wan have to talk to them alone.

Did I tell you about Obi-Wan? He's Qui-Gon's apprentice. I don't think he likes me very much, though. I hasn't really talked to me. But it's really cool…because he's a Jedi too. Maybe he'll talk to me later.

Aw, mom. I'll listen to Qui-Gon, don't worry. Right now Padmé's best friend, Sabe is baby-sitting me. They won't let me walk around the palace place, or whatever it is where the Queen is staying. I don't know where Padmé is right now….I looked for her, but I have to be alone with Sabe right now. I like Padmé better. I'd rather be with her.

Have you ever seen Coruscant? It's really awesome! There are lights everywhere that you can look…and Qui-Gon's right…the place is one big city. I've never seen buildings like these before. They're taller and made out of different stuff than the buildings on Tatooine. And there's real water here, but I haven't seen it yet.

There was a big group of people to meet us when we got onto the landing platform. These two older guys were there, and they seemed to be the most important. I don't know who they were, but one of them scared me…reminds me of the guy in my nightmares. I don't know why…because he doesn't look like that guy…but I'm scared of him anyway. I asked Padmé to protect me. I'm probably just being stupid. Still, I don't want to be around that guy alone.

Coruscant IS one massive city. I would have never believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself. It is so…cool! I wish you could be here too, mom.

I want to visit every planet…I'm going to make a list. Now I have been to Tatooine and Coruscant. Padmé promised me that I could go to Naboo sometime and see her planet. I haven't been there yet, so I can't count it, but I definitely want to go there sometime.

I like the Republic a lot. The people are really nice….Qui-Gon said that he's going to try to get all the slaves free on Tatooine with diplomatic, whatever that is.

I'm grateful that you were my mom…I think you're the best mom in the entire galaxy, and don't ever forget that.

Yeah…I can't wait to meet the Jedi Council. I'm still waiting, and waiting is getting boring. I want to explore this place, but they won't let me. I wonder when Qui-Gon is getting back…I hate this waiting.

I hope the Council likes me, and I think they will…especially if they're like Qui-Gon. The Jedi are the most bravest and strongest people in the entire galaxy. Qui-Gon fought that evil thing with the red lightsaber. He thinks it's a Sith too. I'm scared…I didn't like it. I hope it dies a horrible death.

Yes, Padmé has been looking out for me…except for the last few hours. I don't know where she went…and I'm stuck with Sabe….I hope Padmé gets back soon. I Padmé a necklace…did the carving myself, so that she could have something to remember me by. Padmé doesn't live with her…ooops, nevermind…I promised her I wouldn't tell anyone. Sorry.

People are dying on her planet, mom. But the Queen of Naboo will be talking to the Senate soon, and then the Senate will listen and will kick the bad guys off Naboo, and everything will be okay.

Oh well…I beat Greedo up. Now he knows not to mess with me and spread lies.

I knew Watto wouldn't be too happy about losing me…that's his problem. I'm glad he hasn't been ordering you around much…I hope he doesn't make you work too hard. Kitster and Amy came to look for me? Well…I'll try and keep in contact with Kitster so he knows where I am and what's going on. I can't wait to tell him about Coruscant. Thanks for talking with them. Tell them that they can visit or stay with you whenever they want to…and they can keep you company, mom….so that you don't get too lonely.

You told them that I was going to be a Jedi? That's awesome! Someday I will come back and show them Jedi moves.

Let me know how everything is going with you….because I'm going to be thinking about you a lot. I miss you.

I love you.
