Near Carnelion IV a ship gets hit by some asteroids and plummets
to the planet below. The ship crashes into several mountains, losing several
parts along the way. The crew is able save the ship from being completely
destroyed by deploying the ship’s emergency system.
Out of the ruins of the ship walk
out Anakin and Obi-Wan, with Anakin reassuring his Master that there was
nothing they could’ve done to avoid crashing. Obi-Wan tells his young Padwan
that the debris they hit is one of two reasons no one ever visits the planet
they are on. Anakin wonders what the second reason is and Obi-Wan shows him the
ruins of a lost city.
Anakin wonders what happened to the
planet. Obi-Wan says that generations ago the people of the planet destroyed
themselves because of a war. Anakin asks about the Republic ever helping.
Obi-Wan says that the planet was never part of the Republic. Anakin then
wonders why the Jedi didn’t help. Obi-Wan reminds Anakin that the Jedi Order
are under the Republic’s jurisdiction and even if they weren’t the Jedi Order
is not an army that interferes in a civil war.
Anakin can’t believe that the people
are gone because of a system and thinks that system should change. Obi-Wan
responds by saying that one they things may change.
Anakin changes the topic to their
current situation now that they need to be saved but can’t since there
communication devices are destroyed. Obi-Wan reminds Anakin that they came to
the planet to save someone not be saved. Obi-Wan then remembers that the
original signal that they picked up was from an old phrasing that was sent
recently, which could’ve been from a Jedi.
Anakin suddenly spots something and
shows his Master a airship nearby that crashes near them. Anakin thinks they
should go to the crash site to find survivors. Obi-Wan stops his Padwan so he
can hand him his lightsaber. Anakin is hesitant to take it. Obi-Wan knows that
Anakin’s hesitation is because he is thinking of leaving the Order but says
that he is giving Anakin a lightsaber so he can stay alive.
Flashing back to some time ago,
Anakin is practicing his lightsaber skills in front of a class of other Jedi
younglings, with Mace Windu, Obi-Wan and Chancellor Palpatine watching from the
balcony above. Palpatine comments on Anakin’s interest in the lightsaber.
Suddenly the training bot Anakin is fighting uses a dual lightsaber, similar to
Darth Maul’s. Obi-Wan tells Palpatine and Mace that Anakin has been asking him
about every detail about his fight with Darth Maul. Palpatine stands impressed
over Anakin’s skills as the young Jedi vanquishes the training bot.
As the fight ends Anakin’s peers
comment on how his emotions will keep him from being a Jedi, especially after
his history as a slave. Anakin hears all of this and uses the force to steal
the two kids lightsabers and ignite it in front of their faces. Obi-Wan quickly
jumps in and orders Anakin to stand down. Anakin quickly realizes his mistake
and apologizes to the two other younglings.
Palpatine and Mace both comment on
how Anakin’s training is not complete. Palpatine asks Mace to give him a
meeting with Anakin so he can help the kid. Mace doesn’t think that is a good
idea but Palpatine reminds Mace that the Jedi fall under his jurisdiction. Mace
hesitantly agrees to grant Palpatine a meeting with Anakin.
Back in the present Obi-Wan and
Anakin witness several airships fighting in front of them. Anakin and Obi-Wan
try to help the ships that are about to crash by slowing their descent with the
Force. Two of the people on board of a crashing airship jump out of the airship
to the spot Anakin and Obi-Wan are.
Anakin checks on the two and learns
that their names are Kolara and Mother Pran. Mother Pran points her guns at
Anakin and Obi-Wan. She asks the Jedi if they are open or closed. Anakin
introduces himself and Obi-Wan as Jedi’s who are there to help. Confused,
Mother Pran asks what Jedi are. End of issue.
