Look, I know there was a ton of family drama with messed up timelines to get through.

[This is quite possibly the understatement of the century to anyone who has had to deal with a Skywalker whether they know how many people are connected to that family or not. But the feed pans to a strange mass.]

But did everyone just forget to warn me that sometimes people just fall asleep and end up in a weird eye covered cocoon thing? Maybe before my brother wound up in one?

[She takes a deep breath. She should be in better control than this. She's a Jedi, Jedi are calm, not irritable]

I should meditate...

[He might be right, but she can hardly say it]

I can't tell you what he was like before all this, but the weird time stuff can't help.

[survivalthroughhate]

Trust me, he's always been this way. The first day he arrived in Deerington he was brandishing a lightsaber at anyone that moved, completely out of control, and was demanding to know a way out of town.

[Then Maul killed him but he doesn't feel the need to tell Jaina that. After relating that, he becomes a bit more serious and looks more invested in the conversation now.]

You mentioned timelines. [As in plural.] Have you been talking with Ezra?

[forcechanic]

A bit.

There's been a lot to try to figure out with all the grandparents that I'd never met. Mostly I just know... they're here even though I didn't expect them and different people remember to different points in time.

[survivalthroughhate]

Someone should draw a chart.

[He's not even joking. There are a lot of people here from their galaxy after all.]

Even I'm slightly confused as to how everyone all fits in with everyone else.

[forcechanic]

I wonder if anyone actually knows enough to fill the whole chart in.

[She doesn't, too many people died before sharing information]

[survivalthroughhate]

I know quite a bit. Being here the longest from our universe means being able to see the puzzle pieces all put together as others have arrived.

[But even then there's still plenty Maul still doesn't know about, particularly those farthest along the timeline that are one or two generations removed from him.]

[forcechanic]

I guess that's probably the best option.

The only ones I knew before are Anakin and Uncle Luke.

[survivalthroughhate]

I only met Luke when I arrived here. But it was good to meet him. Gives me hope the Jedi Order of the future isn't as much of a hopeless mess as it is in my time.

[forcechanic]

He's been working really hard to train new Jedi and put together bits and pieces of really old information.

[survivalthroughhate]

Yes, from what I understand he has kept the basic and most important parts of the Jedi tenants without being bogged down by all of their old, stuffy dogma. It is a good way to be. If the Sith had managed to do the same, they would not have died out.

[forcechanic]

Not having people who go out of their way to use the Force to hurt people is a good thing, though.

[survivalthroughhate]

That's a natural consequence of using the Force to get what you want. When people get in your way, you have to remove them and by force if necessary.

[forcechanic]

That's not what we're supposed to use the Force for. We're supposed to use it to help people.

[survivalthroughhate]

That is what the tenants of your sect believe. The Sith believe far different.
