Perhaps they would be a student, perhaps not. This was all by ear, all outside of the experience of any Jedi. He wondered what Rahn would say, or Luke. Even Jan's advice would have been most helpful. But, in the continuing story of his life, he was once again working without a net.
It would prove most interesting.

Date: 2011-06-17 01:21 am (UTC)There is something, a deep instinct, that says training a potentially endless battery in the Force would be a dangerous undertaking indeed.

"Or at least," he adds, "most of the time. Sometimes, you can escape the shadow."
He certainly had.

Date: 2011-06-17 03:37 am (UTC)Something the old Jedi had failed to realize, really. They had locked it away, made it forbidden and taboo, and turned the greatest strength of the Jedi into a weakness that Palpatine had exploited. Thankfully the Corellian Jedi had essentially just defied that. But then again, that was kind of what Corellians did.
Small wonder the Imps had always said that two Corellians together was a conspiracy, and three was a fight.

I'm not exactly in a position to judge you.
