As far back as I could remember at the Jedi Temple, a place that was supposed to be dedicated to humility, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were famous. Obi-Wan had killed a real Sith Lord when he was still a padawan. This was when I was a new youngling at the Temple. All of the younglings had read his file in the Jedi archives. Under his trials, the file actually says, “Defeated a Sith Lord in combat,” no joke. We small younglings used to make up stories about Siths to scare each other. Every story would end the same way, Obi-Wan Kenobi would jump in to defeat the Sith and save the day. The young Jedi were in awe of Master Kenobi and we were all jealous of his padawan.

Rumor was that Obi Wan’s padawan was somehow special, but that was never mentioned above a whisper. The few times I had seen Anakin Skywalker at the temple, he didn’t even act like a kid. He was only six years older than me, but he always seemed to be as serious as the adults. I actually think he only spoke to adults. Anakin spoke to Masters and even Council Members who few padawans would dare address.

It would be easy to dislike someone who acted so self-important, but the problem was, he lived up to his reputation. He grew up tall and handsome. He was brilliant at practically every Jedi art. Every temple droid had a story about a time that Anakin had fixed them. His light saber demonstrations were attended by nearly everyone at the temple. At every demonstration, Anakin was accompanied by his brilliant master, Obi-Wan, beaming with pride as he received the congratulations and compliments of the crowd.

Even people outside the Jedi Order knew who Anakin was. Once, when Anakin was competing in a competition as a kid, the Supreme Chancellor of the Senate came and watched. I heard that the Chancellor was so proud when Anakin won that he personally congratulated the Jedi Council on him.

When the war began, Obi-Wan and Anakin became the poster boys for the war effort practically from the first engagement on Geonosis. They were the brave Jedi who had taken on Count Dooku, the detective who had uncovered the plot by the Separatists and the brave padawan who had lost his arm in service of the Republic! The Supreme Chancellor himself paid for a new arm to be crafted for Anakin in gold, or at least that was the story.


Однако, очень credible версия событий. Или мне все, что не учитывает страшнейшие Оби-хроники "Ученик джедая", кажется разумным? ))) Не удивлюсь, потому что канонно мыслящих авторов очень и очень мало.
