Summary: 15 years after the Battle of Geonosis, Old Ben Kenobi reminisces about his part in the clone wars and the events that lead up to his current status, and wonders what the future beholds.
Prologue:
15 years had passed since the battle of Geonosis, and in the aftermath of the events that soon followed Ben Kenobi found himself exiled on the desert world of Tatooine, a shadow of what he once was, formerly a great general of the Clone Wars, and a Jedi Knight, a practitioner of the Force, the fabric of the universe that had long since been forgotten.
Old Ben's face had withered over the years under Tatooine's harsh suns, his eyes set back around his deeply wrinkled face, his hair had grayed and thinned out, and his clothes were tattered rags, once the great flowing robes of a Jedi Knight, the kind commonly worn by those that were once a part of the order, before the Dark Times, before the Empire had risen from the ashes of the Clone Wars, and before Anakin Skywalker under the guidance of his new Master, Darth Sidious, who was also once a great Jedi himself, had destroyed the Jedi Order, and everything else that was once good and kind in the Galaxy, under that cold steel might of the Empire.
But they had only achieved such goals in their own domain, and the few systems brave enough to continue the fight against the corrupt government did so, from the political arena and on the battle field.
The old man stood out on a cliff overlooking the dune sea his hands at his hips hanging from his belt his lightsaber hanging loosely nearby. The Lar's Homestead appeared as just a sparkle of light under the high noon suns.
His gaze was fixed out on the young boy who with the guidance of his uncle worked on fixing a moisture vaporator. With a wry smile on his face he turned and walked away from the view, he was always watchful over the Lar's nephew, Luke Skywalker, the son of his fallen apprentice, the boy had just recently celebrated his 13th birthday.
Ben Kenobi kept a slow pace as he walked back toward his hut, he thought about the future, and the wise guidance his old Master Qui-Gon Jinn, he wondered how he would ever be able to redeem his past mistakes and wondered if the Force had a will of it's own concerning Anakin Skywalker.
He deeply regretted training the boy, he always carried with him the guilt of what the boy had now become. But he saw hope in the young boy Luke Skywalker, and his twin sister Leia, who grew up on Alderaan in the house of Bail Organa, hope remained that by Luke Skywalker's hand, and by Leia Organa's words, the galaxy would one day be freed from tyranny, and balance brought back to the Force.
Ben reached the his home and entered through the front door, ducking slightly as he entered, being converted from an old storage shed, the doorway was bit short.
The home was quiet simple, a small kitchen and a table, and a bed to lay his head, and a moisture vaporator set outside, which Ben used to grow small crops in an underground bin.
He removed his cloak and set it gently on his bed, placing his prized lightsaber on top of it as he turned away and walked towards a small box which laid buried in the corner, he dug it out, and took quick noticed of the shiny handle of his Anakin's lightsaber, the former Senator Padme Amidala had asked Ben to pass on to Luke at the right time as his father requested.
He moved it aside, and took out a small round device, a holorecorder, he covered the box back up, and set the recorder on the table, and sat in front of it, pressing a small button on the side.
The holorecorder flickered on, and a small blue visage of his younger self came on.
"I have successfully tracked the bounty hunter Jango Fett to the droid foundries on Geonosis...", the track played, it was the very message he had sent to Coruscant the day he tracked down Jango Fett to Geonosis.
Old Ben watched it all the way through, and thought back on the day the Clone Wars erupted, his actions, and what he felt and sensed through the Force, he pressed a small button, and began recording a new message, and started to speak, "Entry 1, a diary of the Clone Wars, the life and times of Ben Kenobi"....
