Hello

[farmboyjedi]

Even with the contract I signed, this is a lot to process. Even after all I've seen in my life, time travel is kind of shocking to me. I keep wondering who else could be here. And how my age has been altered.

Anyway, my name is Luke. Luke Skywalker. I look like a boy right now, but I'm really an adult. I'm a little out of sorts right now, but I will help any way I can to make things better while I'm here.

Perhaps, although this place is... It does have its moments.

[For Padmé, there is nothing else. That much she knows. To return home is to return to death. How it is staved off here, she does not know. All that she does know is that she is living, breathing, alive.]

It is not always easy. It is balancing the needs and the wants of the people, and about being able to put aside your own beliefs at times so that you can listen. Not everyone is cut out for the job, unfortunately.

I agree, it isn't. I admire you and Leia greatly for trying to make things better in the galaxy by doing it. And no, you're right, it isn't for everyone.

Some body needs to stand up for those who do not have a voice.

[And Padmé has always been that one.]

[farmboyjedi]

I agree completely. I'm glad there are different ways we can do it. We aren't all adept at the same thing, but we all help other beings in our own way.

[democratically]

Yes. Exactly that.

[As she offered a comforting smile.]

[He smiled back.]

You know, sometimes despite how much things have changed since...since back then...sometimes they still seem very much the same. But, sometimes I can see small changes. I feel there's always hope, even when it doesn't seem too bright. It's a lot of what's got me through the last few years...the small bit of hope that we'd come through and find peace again.

[democratically]

Change doesn't always happen over night, nor is it easy, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't try.

[farmboyjedi]

That's all anyone can do. Sometimes, it happens slowly, a small bit at a time. The Rebellion was that way a lot of the time. But we made it, somehow. We didn't give up. That's the key...don't give up.
