ONCE A JEDI...



The old man smiled at the wide-eyed boy who sat at his side listening attentively, eager for answers long denied.

For twenty years, he had been ‘Crazy old Ben’, but now it was time for young Luke to learn the truth - from a certain point of view...

Ben spoke quiet words edged with sorrow, his eyes looking far away, as he recalled another life, another time; memories of long ago:

"I was once a Jedi Knight..."

Then he heard the warm, familiar voice of Qui-Gon Jinn whispering in his ear:


You still are, Obi-Wan... And you always will be...

[J'aii-Gun Jiinn]

COOL!! I like it!

[Ari C'rona]

Ooh... well chosen words - they evoke some emotion when I picture Obi Wan sitting there looking sad. I wonder if a master's words will always come back at the right time... I think so.

I like it very much! And it captures Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon very well. I've never heard of a drabble, I will have to try one.. although I'm usually hampered by being TOO WORDY!
