    Summary

    This was it. This was all Anakin Skywalker had ever amounted to – a whore turning tricks in the shadiest parts of Coruscant. All that had been sacrificed for him, all the hopes and dreams, the years of Obi-Wan’s life he’d spent teaching and loving, all the religious adoration heaped upon him, Master Qui-Gon’s life, and in the end, it had been for nothing. It had been for less than nothing.
    In the wake of that realization came heat, born of pain and grief and indignation, of disgust and disappointment, as raw as they had been the day Anakin had tried to murder him, all the while aiding and abetting a Sith planning to murder the rest of Obi-Wan’s family.
    “Hello, Anakin,” Obi-Wan said, because his Padawan clearly did not intend to speak. “Aren’t you going to invite me in?”

    Summary

    His mouth was parched.

    Out of all the pains and aches plaguing his exhausted, bruised body, it was the thirst that tormented him the most. Obi-Wan had no idea how long he had been down here, in this featureless durasteel box deep beneath the palace, for he had long lost any meaningful track of time. It could be hours. It could be days.

    Once he had stopped holding back, Luke had been a fast, almost feral fighter, who was not ashamed to fight mean and dirty, and Obi-Wan, who had not trained properly in over twenty long years, had found himself woefully outmatched. Trying to kill him had been such a stupid, reckless thing to do. But despair drove wiser men than him to great stupidity, he thought bitterly, and at the time, he had felt he had had nothing left to lose.

    Or, Luke has returned to the fold and joined his Father in what was once the Jedi Temple, now Imperial Palace. It doesn't go the way Obi-Wan imagined it would.

    Summary

    Spock tells Kirk about his planet long before they go. He is logical and straightforward, listing the objective facts, but Kirk knows what he means. When Spock says, “The temperature is significantly higher than Earth’s,” he means that sometimes the Enterprise gets cold, and he misses home. “A dry heat,” he assures Kirk, and Kirk knows it means that Spock can’t stand humidity. “The sands were always red,” and that’s why it’s Spock’s favorite color. “Near my home there was a Korian tree, and it was only in bloom five days a year,” so Spock sends a communication to his mother every year on those days and asks how the tree is doing. It’s a very beautiful picture that Spock paints with facts and numbers.

    When Spock asks Kirk about Earth, about Iowa, all Kirk can describe are the stars.
