Chapter 4: More of the Truth comes out

Thank you for reading!

R&R

After the Jedi Grand Master was also made Chief of State, Obi-wan just walked around the Jedi Temple.

Padmé was still with the new Supreme President while Anakin was probably flying around in new types of speeders around Coruscant.

"Going somewhere?" the familiar voice of the newly elected Chief of State asked.

Obi-wan turned around to see him. "Not really, just walking around, recalling memories from the old days." he said.

"Painful or not?" the Chief of State asked.

"Not really. But some are." Obi-wan replied.

"I will not ask you to tell them to me, through it might be better to let those memories go. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you, that my new title does not matter. I'm still Luke Skywalker, Jedi, father and husband." Luke said.

"You're very humble about that, if such a thing happens to Anakin... then you know what happens. He'll demand people to address him by status." Obi-wan told.

"What happened to him then?" Luke asked.

"When we found out he was the Chosen One, people started to treat him in a special way. Especially the Chancellor, who probably poisoned his mind the past 13 years." Obi-wan told. "I tried to treat him as a normal Padawan student, but he didn't like the normal treating. He wanted to be treated special."

"That does make sense. I will have to tell you a lot, of what is going to happen in the future." Luke said.

"I did hear something about an Empire, it was Palpatine, wasn't it?" Obi-wan asked.

"The Emperor? Yes, that man was Palpatine, better known to me and my wife as Darth Sidious." Luke replied.

"I somehow always knew I couldn't trust him, but Anakin always trusted the man, I don't know why." Obi-wan said.

"Well, I'm sure that forbidding to see Palpatine could have been one solution, the other solution is keeping this 'Chosen One' thingy down and not telling anyone about it to be sure nothing leaks out. That might have kept his arrogance and pride down." Luke told.

"But that is brilliant!" Obi-wan commented. "Where did you learn that?"

"A Jedi never stops learning, do they?" Luke asked, a smile appeared across his face.

Obi-wan had to admit, this man was very strong in the Force, he was wise, he could handle emotions very well and he was handsome no less. "You must be a good man to your family, I don't dare to say it otherwise." he said.

"Well thank you, Mr Kenobi." Luke thanked him.

"It's just Obi-wan." Obi-wan said.

"Guess you don't like formalities too huh?" Luke asked.

"Not always. Younger ones should be formal to elders, but since you are no youngling or apprentice, I'd like to be called by my name." Obi-wan told.

"I'm not a fan of formalities, but it was a part of me when I became Jedi Grand Master of this Order, or back during the days of the Rebel Alliance." Luke told.

"How about all that Chief of State happening?" Obi-wan asked. "Does that not include a lot of formalities?"

"Being Chief of State is more being the leader of the Grand Republical Army. People will address you as Grand Admiral, but most time there will be talked about strategies."

"Will people attack this Republic more now Jedi Masters are in charge? With us, non-Sensitives do all of that." Obi-wan said.

"But maybe that's the problem of the whole organisation, maybe Jedi should be involved in politics, maybe they should be able to have a normal life like any other humanoid being."

"But love is attachment, and that is forbidden..." Obi-wan protested.

"Obsessed love is forbidden. And attachment is pure human, everyone should be allowed to love." Luke disagreed.

Obi-wan couldn't argue over that fact.

"Obsessed love leads to fear, and the rest is what you know." Luke told.

"I can't say you're wrong in that way, I guess it's just the way you see the code." Obi-wan said.

"If Jedi keep being different from the normal civilians in the Universe, they will think we see ourselves as superiors." Luke told. "And that is not what we want."

"Jedi are Guardians of Peace, we never see ourselves as superior beings!" Obi-wan said as he shocked.

"Some people think different about that, and not only the Dantooinian King. People think that Jedi and Sith are just two words with the same meaning: people who want power while they say they bring justice." Luke told. "Once they see we don't mean any harm, they'll accept it."

"You really think like that?" Obi-wan asked.

"We need to see what comes to us. All we can do is trying to do the best for the Galaxy." Luke replied.

Obi-wan watched the Jedi Grand Master walk away, showing no sign of superiority, but authory.

"That man is just one of a kind, I never met someone like him before." he murmered. "Some will believe he is the Force himself in human form."

Sorry that I made Obi-wan a bit alternative.

I can understand you don't like it.

What should happen next? Will Leia hate Anakin? How about the rest of the Solo family?

Tell me what you think!
