Because I Could Not Stop You Darth
Because I could not stop you Darth—
Years later you stopped me—
The hallway held but just ourselves—
And my mortality.
You slowly flew the Falcon in
I would not get away.
My life defunct on that Death Star
For Jedi destiny—
You went to school, where younglings learned
The force—in Yoda's ring—
You passed the trials on Coruscant—
A Jedi you'd become.
Or rather—you'd pass us—
O'er for the dark side of the force—
For only Palpatine, knew how—
My friend—only a tool.
I pause recalling Qui Gon's wish
As he lay on Death's ground—
That I should train his Padawan—
This "Ani" kid he'd found.
Since then—Luke saved you—he was right
There was still good in you
Skywalker's dad—without his mask
Went toward Eternity—
