What is it? Your fathers lightsaber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster. An elegant weapon for a more civilized time. For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire. How did my father die? A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights.

How did I get into this mess? I really don’t know how. We seem to be made to suffer. It’s our lot in life. I’ve got to rest before I fall apart. My joints are almost frozen. What a desolate place this is. Where are you going?

Slide with quote

The bad news is that when ever you learn a new skill your going to suck. It’s going to be frustrating. The good news is that is typical and happens to everyone and it is only temporary. You can’t go from knowing nothing to becoming an expert without going through a period of great frustration and great suckiness.
