I don't own Jedi Apprentice. Or the song Love Drunk by Boys Like Girls, which I listened to over and over again while typing this, so it's why I'm in such a good mood. Best. Song. Ever.
…And I came up with this chapter by myself. Except for the Letter to the Editor, they are Meteorias.
An Inside Look at the Jedi High Council!
The Jedi Council; a Padawan's biggest fear, a Knight's biggest dream, and a Master's biggest friend. There task is simple; make decisions to send us on missions that leave us wounded, blinded, or even dead.
Why don't they get out of those prissy little chairs and deal with the galaxy's problems themselves? Most of the time they're just sitting around in their temperature controlled dome…doing what?
"Discussing top secret information not even the Senate knows," a Youngling whispers.
"Gossip about us Padawans," Garen Muln huffs.
"Plan the lunch menu," Reeft says hopefully.
"I'm sure they take care of official business; signing autographs and such." says Didi Oddo of Didi's café.
"Make fun of Qui-Gon!" Obi-Wan laughs.
"Plot a full Jedi Takeover of the Republic!" Senator Palpatine says.
"They shave Mace's head!" Kit Fisto insists.
"Sabacc. They play sabacc. Now go away," Qui-Gon grumbles.
After all these educated guesses, I interviewed a few of the Council members.
"We make decisions and prioritize missions," Mace Windu reports.
"I print out the mission waivers," Adi Gallia boasts.
"Help the needs of the Republic and Jedi, we do," Yoda says.
"I am in charge of the chore list. This week Mace has to clean the private bathroom," Plo Koon snickers.
"I like debating. No, I like assignments. Well, I suppose I like debating more…" debates Depa Billaba.
There you have it, your inside look at the Jedi Council! They are like any other leadership, they debate, take responsibility, and have a private bathroom.
Letter to the Editor:
Dear Tahl,
This is a bit delayed, but yeah…Qui-Gon is a hippie and very susceptible to heartbreak. Don't break his heart.

Dear Tahl,
Garen and Obi-Wan are actually twin brothers I'm just not supposed to tell you.
-Anonymous
Jedi High Council, Coruscant
Dear Tahl,
Yeah! That Kenobi is such a Sith! He tried to kill me! And All I was doing was my job!
-Ona Nobis
Ya know, you should really read this stuff in bold. Sometimes I have important stuff to say that you want to hear, like XYZ, or that if you review you can request a character to be interviewed, written about, or even suggest a letter to the editor!
Oh, and I know I told some of you that there was going to be one where Qui-Gon takes over…still planned, but it's delayed. Sorry!
