Before - Legends I, Obi-Wan - Diary Challenge Entry - updated 5/27

Well done...You've done a tremendous job of capturing the inner struggle of Obi-Wan as a Padawan. His turmoil leaps off the page.

Great job!

 

Despite being 900 years old, Yoda can be pretty smart sometimes

 

Yoda is smart but maybe if he wasn't so cryptic it wouldn't take Obi-Wan so long to figure out what is right or wrong.

Nice one

 

Great diary.

Can I be on the PM list for this one please?

Thanks

 

Jade_eyes Wise, the little troll is!

Corellian_Ale I keep trying to tell my kids the same thing, but they aren't convinced!

KELIA Can you imagine? Oops, did I say that out loud?

Gkilkenny I think Yoda does it just to drive everyone crazy!

EGKenobi Sure! And thanks for reading!

My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi. And I am a Jedi Padawan.

I?m almost afraid to write the words. What if I write them and Master Qui-Gon changes his mind?

Then I have to laugh at myself, because Master Qui-Gon has not shown himself to be one who changes his mind quickly or easily. I should know that better than most. There was a time that worked against me. Now it is in my favor.

He has chosen to become my Master. That is not a commitment he makes lightly. Not to me. Not to himself. Knowing more of what happened now, I am not surprised at his reluctance to take on a Padawan. I am only surprised that he did, and that it was [i]me[/i].

I can?t even begin to say how much my life has changed. I was right to hope that Qui-Gon would come to my rescue. He did. In more ways than one. He changed my life. I was one thing before he became my Master. And now I am another. I hope I will prove worthy of his faith in me.

But now I sometimes wonder if he didn?t need [I]me[/I] as much as I needed him. Just as he changed my life, perhaps I have changed his. I hope I have. Our fates our intertwined, the Force has made that clear. One way or another, what happens to one of us will affect the other.

And I wouldn?t put it past Master Yoda to throw us together because he saw that we needed each other.

Master Yoda is sneaky. And he's had a long time to practice.

 

Marvelous... sweet. Yoda is sneaky huh? LOL

A very long time, indeed.

sneaky indeed. He is manipulating all Jedi.

Lovely update

I guess that's why Palps hated him so much, he didn't like competing for "Most Sneaky"!

Truer words were never written

I'm thrilled to see Obi and Qui finally being paired together. They do need each other and it's great Obi can see that.

Great update

 

Finally Qui-Gon has accepted Obi-Wan.

Great update.

 

Yoda sneaky? Of course he is. Obi-Wan is learning fast. And it's so nice to see him back as a padawan.

 

Jade_eyes We always knew the little troll had a darker side!

Valairy_Scot And practice makes perfect!

earlybird-obi-wan Just as I suspected!

Corellian_Ale Maybe once they were best buds and then... well, you know how fast rivalry can ruin a friendship!

KELIA Master Yoda: The Hidden Sith

Gkilkenny Thanks for reading!

ardavenport He deserves it, that's for sure!

[b]Entry #10[/b]



Today is a special day to me, but I do not think Master Qui-Gon knows. Today, I am thirteen. Thirteen is of special significance. Once, it was a date I dreaded. When I waited to discover my fate as a Jedi, while I wondered if [i]any[/i] Master would claim me as their own, this day loomed like a death sentence in my mind.

Now, I find that I am happy to have passed this milestone. My joy is possible only because I am the Padawan of Master Qui-Gon Jinn.

But does he know what today means to me?

Sometimes, I think I see a teasing glint in his eyes, but then his expression is serene and suitable to a Jedi Master. There is no requirement for him to acknowledge this day, though it is the custom among Masters and Padawans. I want to tell him, and yet I don?t. What if he thinks me so ill-mannered that I am seeking gifts or attention? That would be horrible.

And embarrassing. Mostly embarrassing.

Perhaps it is best to wait and see.


~~~~~~~~~~


My Master did not forget. He even gave me a present. He gave me a?rock.

That it has great meaning to him, I do not doubt. But still.

A rock?

This Padawan business is rather more complicated than I anticipated.

You think, Obi? Just wait...there's pathetic life forms to come, then Tahl will steal Qui's attention from you, then Anakin will steal Qui from you - oh, heck, there's plenty of years before you find all that out.

Enjoy.

 

LOL!! Obi's mystification at the gift just flows off the screen. It's definitely a gift he'll come to understand with getting to know Qui-Gon and sharing and learning from one another.

 

He gave me a?rock.

All I can think of is Obi-Wan wearing a sheet over his head that has about 14 holes in it.

good grief

 

padawan business complicated wait until you become a master

Nice humor in this update

Awwww, give it time Obi.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out the significance.

Loved the Qui knew it was Obi-s lifeday.

Great update

 

A rock?
Which turned out to be very important to him.

 

Loved the last part...I can just see Obi's expression when he gets that rock. Hang on to it, Obi, you'll need it.
