Star Wars: Escape from the Jedi Temple Begins

Chapter 9 Obi-Wan's Warning, the Fall of the Jedi Order

Lance quickly checked the instruments and, after confirming that everything was normal, slowly closed his eyes.

Scenes from the temple kept replaying in my mind.

Familiar faces fell one after another to the blaster, the tragic and desperate cries still echoing in my ears.

A surge of anger ignited within him, scorching his soul.

revenge.

The moment this thought arose, his breathing became rapid.

His fists clenched, veins bulging on his arms, and a ferocious look appeared on his face.

Just as his heart was about to be consumed by hatred, Gu Gu in his arms shifted uncomfortably.

In an instant, he regained consciousness.

Lance looked down at the little one in his arms and murmured softly:

"Thank you, Gugu."

After becoming alert, he lowered his eyes again.

Thanks to his solid foundation in meditation, he quickly calmed his breathing and cleared his mind of all distractions.

Let your consciousness expand and slowly merge into the flowing Force.

next moment.

Countless tiny points of light gradually appeared in his "field of vision".

They are the Force.

Flowing quietly, intertwining with each other.

All life generates the Force.

The part that is born from a living organism is called "life force".

What permeates the universe and exists independently of any individual is called the "Cosmic Force".

There is no essential difference between the two; they only differ in scope and form of expression.

The Force originates from life, but it is not limited to life.

Although inanimate objects such as rocks and machines do not generate the Force, the Force still flows within them and adheres to them.

The "fibroplasma" is the medium between life and the Force.

Those who are sensitive to the Force can sense it and guide and control it.

Lance drew the Force into his body.

That gentle power flowed between his cells, quietly nourishing his limbs and bones.

The fatigue was gradually smoothed out.

He quietly observed the changes in his body.

My body feels lighter and stronger, and my spirit is more and more full and vibrant.

......

After an unknown amount of time, Lance was awakened by the strange movement in his arms.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw that Gu Gu had already woken up and was playing with his master's Jedi Holographic Device in his two little hands.

"This can't be used as a toy."

As Lance spoke, he quickly took the holographic device.

Gu Gu looked up at him, pursed her lips, and her eyes gradually welled up with tears, as if she could cry at any moment.

Lance sighed softly and shook his head helplessly.

He had absolutely no experience in how to soothe children, whether in his past life or this one.

This is a very difficult problem.

He looked around and saw only cold, impersonal instruments; there were no playable items to replace them.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on the hyperspace control stick, on a spherical object the size of a quail egg.

It seems... it can be taken apart.

Lance reached out and pinched the ball, then twisted it slightly.

The screws loosened, and it was easily removed.

He held the metal ball between two fingers and whispered his instructions:

"You can't eat this. Do you understand?"

Gu Gu immediately widened her eyes and stretched out her hands toward the sphere.

"Eeya!"

"Remember, you absolutely must not put it in your mouth."

Lance reminded him again before placing the ball in his palm.

Gu Gu beamed with joy when she received the toy.

He held the metal ball in one hand, excitedly waving his short arm and making cheerful babbling sounds.

Her previous aggrieved look had completely vanished.

"Sigh, I just can't do anything with you."

fair enough.

Let that terrible memory be buried forever, and just grow up happily.

Lance shook his head, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

Suddenly, he felt a slight vibration from the hologram.

This is......

Lance frowned slightly, looking at it with surprise and suspicion.

The hologram will only react under certain conditions.

One of them was communication.

This is a unique communication method for Jedi, eliminating the need for information relay stations.

In this way, the enemy will be unable to trace the source of the signal.

It is both discreet and safe.

Thinking of this, he immediately channeled the primal force within his body into it.

The hologram detached from my palm and floated in front of me.

After a series of gear turning sounds, it slowly opened.

The next moment, a holographic projection suddenly popped up.

Obi-Wan's face appeared in the light and shadow, wearing a dark brown Jedi robe over a beige belted robe.

Her once neatly combed light brown short hair now appeared messy.

His once neatly trimmed beard had become a mess.

His eyes held an undisguised weariness, and his voice was heavy, as if burdened by endless sorrow.

"This is Obi-Wan Kenobi."

After a brief pause, he continued:

"It is with a heavy heart that I inform you—the Jedi Order, along with the Galactic Republic, has been destroyed."

"In its place, the dark shadow of the empire has taken its place."

"This message is a warning and a plea to all surviving Jedi."

His voice was not loud, but clear and firm:

"Trust in the Force."

"Do not return to the temple."

That era has come to an end.

"The road ahead... remains unknown."

"Stay away from Coruscant, evade tracking, and conceal your whereabouts."

He paused slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through the void, landing on each person still listening:

"But please stay resilient."

"We will all be tested—trust, faith, and friendship will all be tested."

Even so, we must persevere.

Obi-Wan's tone, at this moment, gained a faint but firm light:

"I firmly believe that one day, new hope will emerge."

"May the Force be with you forever."

......

Gugu looked dejected as he listened to Obi-Wan's warning, seemingly recalling the scenes in the Temple.

Upon seeing this, Lance quickly shut down the holographic device.

Even without Obi-Wan's warning, he would not return to Coruscant.

Having just escaped from the Jedi Temple, going back would be like walking into a trap.

However, learning that Master Obi-Wan Kenobi was alive put his mind at ease.

"It is unknown how many other perilous places survived this catastrophe."

The Jedi Order has fallen; their former glory and honor have vanished.

Although he never considered himself superior, his status earned him some respect from others.

But now...

Lance couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"From now on, I'm afraid I'll become a rat that everyone wants to kill."

......

In a void somewhere in the outer ring star field, a starfighter suddenly appeared, with a yellow hull and smooth, elegant lines.

Having just emerged from hyperspace, what came into view was a small celestial body with an uneven surface.

Kosher can barely be considered a planet.

It's just that it's too small to maintain its own atmosphere, and it's running around in a trail of steam.

This is a notorious planet, rich in spices and infamous for its terrifying mines.

Lance didn't want to stay here; it wasn't the best place to refuel.

The fuel was about to run out, and it happened to be near the flight path.

The key point is that it is not under the control of the Galactic Republic.

Lance piloted his fighter jet toward Kosher, where he saw numerous air-generating plants built on its surface, with large amounts of breathable gas being ejected from their ducts.

Despite this, the air above its surface is still very thin.

The fighter jet swept over the rugged rocky canyon and slowly landed on the tarmac of a fuel plant.

He took out two breathing masks and put them on his and Gugu's faces.

"Don't move, wait here for me."

Lance jumped out of the fighter jet, and the hatch closed automatically.

He tightened his outer robe and put on his hood to cover his face.

Soon, a worker robot, less than a meter tall, with slender limbs and a head shaped like an umbrella, walked over:

"Sir, would you like to refuel?"

"That's right, how many credits are needed to max it out?"

Just as the robot was about to answer, it suddenly received a notification from its boss and changed the subject:

"Sorry, we cannot refill your fuel supply due to a shortage."

"If you need it urgently, please talk to my boss; he's in his office right now."

As it spoke, it pointed to a room not far away that was lit with orange-red lights.

Raising prices on the spot?

Lance frowned slightly, but did not feel angry.

In a place controlled by criminal organizations, gangs, and pirates, it would be strange if some petty theft didn't happen.

He looked up at the aerospace mechanic robot R4-P18 and instructed it:

"Keep an eye on the fighter jets."

The lights on the R4-P18 flashed, and an electronic sound was emitted:

"Beep beep".

Lance walked toward the office under the watchful eye of the work robot.
