Who: Luke Skywalker
Broadcast: Fleetwide (Accidental)
Action: Marsiva
When: 2/16
[Luke Skywalker is sitting pensively in front of one of the wide windows on the Marsiva's Hospitality Deck. Rather than staring out into the darkness of space, he's bent over a tiny silver disk in his hands. It's open, revealing a series of wires, something mechanical and complex. Lacking any proper tools of his own, Luke is replying it with careful fingers and, occasionally, teeth.]
[Lacking any proper supplies, he's forced to improvise. At one point, he removes the glove on his right hand. There's a burn over the back, but the flesh cracks open to reveal more wires and mechanistry. Luke pulls some wires out, breaks them and inserts them into the disk. It seems to cause some of the fingers on his hand to twitch irregularly, but the disk is repaired. He presses a button, and a little blue holograph of a smiling couple appears.]
[He stares at it for a little while.]
[Finally, Luke notices that he's being recorded.] Hello, there. How long have you been on, hm? [He reaches over and turns off the feed.]
[Actually wait. A second later, Luke turns the feed back on.] I suppose if all of this is being recorded, I ought to introduce myself. I'm Luke Skywalker. It's a pleasure to meet you. [His smile kind of... twitches.] All of you.

No, it's-- I mean, I appreciate what you're saying, but-- you don't understand.
The Clone Wars shouldn't have happened because the whole thing was orchestrated from beginning to end. The Sith created the war to spread chaos and strife, to drain resources from the whole galaxy and leave it vulnerable. To-- to create a massive clone army that could be genetically engineered to obey orders and turn on the Jedi on command. To create a war that would drag on for so long that it would slowly erode the people's faith in the Jedi so that when the time came to eliminate them they encountered no resistance!
We're Jedi, we should have seen it coming! But no one did! Millions of people died for nothing, because we were all too preoccupied with beating the fabricated enemy that we didn't see the real one. We failed the Republic. And now it's our fault that your generation has grown up under a Sith Empire.
no subject
[His calm returns quickly, though. It always does, like the rising tide.] You shouldn't blame yourself when you had no chance of knowing. If the simple fact of being a Jedi was enough to make someone all-knowing and untouchable, there wouldn't be Sith.

[You can almost see the gears ticking into place in her head as her eyes widen slowly.
Somehow all their information always gets leaked to the enemy. But they could never find any evidence of a spy. But who has access to all the movements of the Jedi? Who would be best poised to take over as Emperor after the war was over without it seeming unnatural in the slightest? Who has the power and the money to see to it that the clones have chips in their head?]

Who likely pressured the Council to have her expelled from the Order and have her tried as a civilian?]
That--! [she calls him a string of not very nice words in Huttese.]
no subject
[Anyway.] He really used to call himself Chancellor?
no subject
That's right. He's the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic. Ugh! I can't believe this! He always seemed so-- so nice!
[At least until he was presiding over her trial, anyway.]
What a piece of work.
no subject

But-- in my time, he just seems like this harmless old grandfather! No wonder he deceived us all. Even Anakin!
no subject
He'll be so heartbroken! He's closer to the Chancellor than anyone...
no subject
[A sigh.] I'm sorry, Ahsoka. This is hardly a light subject for our first conversation, and I know almost nothing about you.
[You are, after all, the important one.]

Wow. Well-- I became Anakin's padawan three years ago. So, fourteen.
My lightsabers I made on Ilum. Why, how did you get yours?
As for training... I couldn't ask for a better master. He's tough, sometimes, but fair. He's not perfect, of course. Nobody is. And he was knighted only a few months before I became his padawan. That's pretty rare. War-time exception. But even though I think he felt a bit out of his depth, it was nice in a way. To know that the person you look up to is human too, and you're both kind of figuring out what to do together. And he's the sort of person that-- even if you're in a bad situation, or you're struggling with something... he never gives up on you. No matter what.
no subject
Oh, you made yours? I had thought they were passed down. My father had wanted me to have his...
[But anyway, it's #anakintime.] He sounds like a wonderful teacher. I never would have guessed... but I'm glad. I'm glad he has so much faith in you and others, especially. It's something I strive for, myself.
no subject
[Ahsoka nods at Luke's question.] That's right. It's kind of a ritual-- Obi-Wan didn't take you to Ilum? I guess if Anakin wanted you to have his, that makes sense, but...
[Oh. Ahsoka freezes for a microsecond. That sentence brings forth a mental image of Obi-Wan holding a dying Anakin as he tells Obi-Wan to give his lightsaber to his son. She shakes her head firmly, trying to clear it. She's been watching too many soap operas here. That's not going to happen. She looks back at Luke, trying to recover.]
... Good. You remind me of him, too. I know he's a bit shaken up at the moment, but-- give it some time. He'll definitely be proud.
no subject
No, he... didn't have time. [He's only somber for a moment, though.] What is Ilum like?
I do? [starsineyes.gif] Well- thank you. I hope he's alright...? He seemed... in a hurry, when we spoke.
no subject
["He didn't have time," is kind of an ominous statement, but Ahsoka doesn't want to dwell on that. She concentrates on the question Luke asked, instead.] Ilum? ... Cold, for the most part. Mostly snow and ice. But it's home to a kyber crystal cavern, so... [So they go there. She shrugs.]
As for Anakin... he'll come around. He's had a lot on his plate lately. ... We all have.
no subject
You mean you don't make your crystals?
[He smiles calmly, voice one of quiet conviction,] I know he will.
no subject
Well... the Code states that Jedi are not supposed to have attachments. We're supposed to have compassion and love for all living things, but be able to let them go when the time comes. If you can't let go... you can become trapped by anger, or hatred, or fear. Which in turn leads to the Dark Side. The theory goes that if you wait too long to instill these values in younglings, it's too late.
But that said... I've seen even exemplary Jedi turn to the Dark Side. And then there's Anakin, who came to the Temple six years too late and is the most attached Jedi I've ever known... and he hasn't turned to the Dark Side. Plus, there's Master Sunrider and Vima. Mother and daughter. And they're amazing Jedi. So... between you and me, I'm-- I'm not sure anymore if the Council is actually right on that one.
no subject
The greatest Jedi I ever knew would have been lost to darkness if not for their attachments. I'd have to agree with your instincts as well. From what I have seen myself, it seems that fear, rather than love, is the most dangerous thing to a Jedi. I wouldn't count attachment as a weakness.
[And then the self-confident posture resides, a little, and the boyish smile and sloped shoulders return,] But I might be a little biased. Ben only started training me when I was nineteen.

I never asked. I suppose he was waiting for me to be ready; I would have been hopeless at three.
I'M SORRY
... I guess ... Obi-Wan knows what he's doing. I'm sure he had a good reason. Whatever it was.
u monster.
that's me
