Hi there :-) So D!JumpObi was doing some research on Palps d/t being temple bound for a bit… how is that going? Has the Senate gotten confirmation of Palps collusion in both sides of the war? Has there been NO available proof, and the Jedi Council decides to grab the clones and ALL head out to Wild Space cause the Republic is dead, and the death throes would lead to the destruction of the temple per Obi orig universe?? TELL (pls ;-)
In the end, its
not Obi-Wan and not even the Jedi who reveal to everyone that
Palpatine is a double dealing traitor of the people.
In the end the
Order is not the ones who pay the price and has their ranks
shattered, in the end the clone army are just as lost as the Order as
Obi-Wan wakes up in Qui-Gon’s arms, still wearing their tunics and
leggings to fires on Coruscant.
Because the public
is in outrage as Yan Dooku himself has revealed that Palpatine sat as
the overhead of both the Republic and the Separatists but that Yan is
finished taking orders from the old wrinkled prune and that now he
leads the CIS.
The old man has
been leading both sides, something Obi-Wan and the Jedi Order already
knew as they tried to find evidence and dismantle it all.
Now they don’t
need to.
The Senate is in
uproar and there are rebellions all across the Galaxy in Republican
worlds.
Jedi and their
troopers are trying to quell the fires as everyone waits with their
breaths held in suspense to what comes next.
What comes next is
as terrible as it is defining.
Palpatine called
to trial with Jedi having been called by various Senators to stand in
their pods because there is a feeling of blood in the air.
What comes next is
lightning across Senatorial pods as Palpatine lets out a horrible
screech as he understands just how far Dooku’s betrayal has left
him in the patient plans he has been knitting together for years as
Jedi try to apprehend him.
What comes is
death of so many good men and women across the galaxy as Senators
with weaker hearts die from the charge the electricity surges through
them.
And Jedi fighting
to apprehend the now revealed Sith and bring him to justice on camera
and forever memorized.
In the end Obi-Wan
is not even there to see it.
He has found no
evidence to bring Palpatine down, not really, only circumstantial
evidence.
In the end he’s
one of trillions watching the viewscreen as Anakin Skywalker doesn’t
hesitate to decapitates Palpatine in what is clearly a lucky shot
after Qui-Gon gets thrown off a Senatorial pod.
Obi-Wan doesn’t
fear though, even though his heart is in his throat when Qui-Gon
falls.
He doesn’t feel
the other pass into the Force as so many others have.
And when they
return to the temple as the Senate still shout at each other and have
an emergency voting which calls Mon Mothma as the new Chancellor,
Obi-Wan can only pull Qui-Gon into his arms and hold tightly onto the
older man as Qui-Gon returns the embrace gingerly, bruised as he is.
There are still
fires to put out.
There is still a
war to finish.
There is a Senate
in uproar still.
But for the first
time in what feels far to long, Obi-Wan feels hope for himself even
as Anakin is lauded among his fellow Jedi and raised to Jedi Master
at the young age of twenty three.
There is a long
road still left.
But they can do
it.
