Are you sure this is a good idea? Yes, I'm aware you've done a canon rewatch, that's my point. Did you notice that we've got a former Empire to clean up and rebuild, which leaves little free time for socializing. Not to mention continue my training. Or figuring out a solid canon point.

And no, Leia would not agree with you.

[Ah. This Luke is still in his mid twenties.]

You're me? I've learned not to discount the impossible.

[force_ful]

I'm not a clone. Feel my presence. Our clones have a kind of effect on the Force. It's disorienting, but it can be compensated for.

[feels]

I believe that's the reason we're having a civilized conversation instead of something less pleasant.

[force_ful]

Probably. Perhaps it's also that you really would like to speak to another living Jedi.

[Faint smile.]

[feels]

[ :| ]

Until this ... meeting, I was under the impression of being the last. How did you get here?

[force_ful]

Through living this long, and hopefully longer. [yeah he becomes just a bit of a troll.]

You're the last, yes. In a sense. But you are also the first.

[feels]

You sound like Ben. [Or is that he sounds like Ben. Timey wimey stuff can be headache inducing.]

The first of what? An Order that doesn't exist anymore.

[force_ful]

[He snorts.] That means a lot, thanks.

It exists in you. As long as one Jedi lives, the Order lives. Not as what it was, but the Jedi fire hasn't gone out yet. Why do you think Master Yoda said to pass on what you've learned?

[feels]

You're welcome. [Wry smile.]

You know, that's all well and good, but first I have to find people to train, find a place to train them, and an instruction holo wouldn't be unwelcome at this point.

[force_ful]

If you search, if you look for hard and long enough, these things will come. You're not the only child of a Jedi - or grandchild, or niece or nephew, sibling, clone, anything like that. And there are people sensitive to the Force whose families have no history with it.

Things will never be perfect. You won't feel prepared for a long time - maybe not ever. You'll have to improvise so much you'll wonder if you're passing along the Jedi way or just your own thoughts. There will be months, years, of the feeling that you're just pretending.

Still. One day after you take the rank of Master for yourself, you'll find it fits. And there will be a day when I have trained enough Jedi to Mastery that they will form a Council. I've only managed two so far.

[grin] You'll like them, I think.

[feels]

That sounds so overwhelming, to be honest, but I think I'd know if you were lying. [Or he's hoping so. Sometimes lying to yourself is the easiest thing in the galaxy.]

And maybe my path isn't exactly the same as ... the one you took. We'll see. Right now I'm the only one who can and, despite what my uncle sometimes said, I've never been afraid of hard work.

Did you ever find tangible guidance?

[force_ful]

It is. But it doesn't all happen at once.

...Yes and no. It never went as far as I would have liked. There was a holocron. Quite a bit better than an instructional holo, but - limited, and it was destroyed before anyone could make full use of it.

Even the Empire couldn't censor everything, or silence everyone who knew a little. By the time I... met a surviving Jedi who was willing to help, I'd been teaching for a while, and she didn't suggest a lot of changes.

[feels]

There are other Jedis still alive? [Yes, that's the most important part.]

Maybe I can locate some information they couldn't destroy. Something that might be helpful in rebuilding local and on a planetary scale.

How was the holocron destroyed?

[force_ful]

In... a matter of speaking. [He doesn't really want to talk about this...]

Sith interference. This one was dead for thousands of years, but there are some people whose spirits stay around.
