Padawan

Chapter 1:

Prie had a padawan’s braid.
“Obi-Wan was 16 years old.” (This occurs a year before Master and Apprentice).
He wanted to be “the best Jedi.”
He hadn’t been apprenticed to Qui-Gon “for long” and he was still having him use the most basic forms in lightsaber practice.
The majority of their time was spent in meditation.
Meditation was easy for him as an initiate, but not with Qui-Gon.
Obi-Wan feared he was failing as a padawan.

Chapter 2:

Qui-Gon believes he isn’t what Obi-Wan wanted in a Master.
Obi-Wan used his burn kit for the first time in a while.
Prie’s master was known for his skills with animals.
Siri Tachi was due back from her latest “daring mission at any moment.”
The formal banquet hall was rarely used. Kenobi spent many hours training there alone.
The banquet hall used to be a library. It had been carved “centuries before.”
Several small pillars had been added to support a raised dais for the council members. Behind one it was very dusty, and someone had carved a planet on the wall. Orla Jareni and Cohmac Vitus’ names were carved on the wall beneath the planet.
Ilum was one of the few planets Obi-Wan had been to, thanks to the Gathering where he harvested his Kyber.
Orla Jareni had been a Jedi involved with the Great Hyperspace Disaster. (As seen in Into the Dark, The Fallen Star, and more).
Obi-Wan didn’t think the Jedi had Wayseekers anymore.
No one had pulled up Orla’s information “in ages.” Nobody had opened up this record, about a planet charted, since it was made. Nobody had followed up on this planet’s importance.

Interlude:

“…somewhere out there was a priceless jewel glowing blue.”

Chapter 3:

“Qui-Gon had a meeting with the council this evening.”
The last time Obi-Wan had meditated as long as Qui-Gon he fell asleep.
Qui-Gon accepts Obi-Wan’s quest to the unnamed planet.
Obi-Wan scheduled the flight plan for the following morning.

Chapter 4:

“Qui-Gon was fighting with the Council again.”
Bolla and Obi-wan trained in separate clans as younglings.
Sirie and Obi-Wan “had been close growing up.”
Dooku had already left the Jedi order.

Chapter 5:

Obi-Wan still liked to think of Count Dooku as “Master Dooku.”
“Master Qui-Gon Jinn didn’t choose” Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Usually the Force brings a master to their apprentice after their trials.

Chapter 6:

Obi-Wan went early to the padawan banquet hall the next day.
He had spoken to Meba Fonox “the day before.”
Obi-Wan had “once” flown a T-5 Shuttle in training.
Qui-Gon was late for the mission.
Count Dooku’s ship “left late last night.”
Qui-Gon had been notified when someone arrived “the day before.”
“Almost all padawans made it through to knighthood, but there were rare exceptions.”
Taking the T-5 Shuttle out of dock without Qui-Gon was the most rebellious and reckless thing he had ever done.

Chapter 7:

This was the first time he had ever been truly alone.
“Nothing could ever ruin flying for him.”
They find a distress beacon in space before their final hyperspace jump.

Interlude:

Whoever left the beacon was marooned on a lifeless planet.
He had longed for this for empty long years for someone to take the probe.
“At last he was going home.”

Chapter 8:

He arrives at the planet, strange asteroids bar his path. He navigates through the Force.
He’d never seen a planet like this before.

Chapter 9:

There’s an abandoned settlement that looks “old”.
“Padawan deaths were rare, but not unheard of.”
The girl he meets was around his age.

Chapter 10:

The girl appears to be Force sensitive. All the children do.
The mikkian girl welcomes Obi-Wan to Lenahra.
The girl doesn’t know what Jedi are.

Chapter 11:

The children haven’t seen anyone new for some time, possibly even years.
“Not our parents, not their parents, but their parents.” The kids have been there for “4 generations.”
Their parents left them. “We’ve been on our own for so long, until you.”
If Orla made it here, “it would have been decades before their people crashed.”
“Orla and Jedi” aren’t in any of their songs or stories.
Lenahra tried to eat their ship, but it did too much damage to the land.
“A 16-year old padawan was more mature than average, having trained his whole life.”

Chapter 12:

It had been “a long time” since Obi-Wan was around new people.
Nautolan younglings don’t develop as fast as their gills.
“Don’t forget: this is ours,” is a phrase the children’s parents told them every night.
Obi-Wan meditated “every night before bed.”
“We haven’t met anyone knew, well, ever.”
There was a “cave” that gave these children the Force.
Finding Amyt before she dies was the biggest challenge he had yet taken.

Chapter 13:

He had never tried to use the Force to communicate a thought with a creature.
“He had only ever used his Force skills in practice.”

Chapter 14:

“The next morning.” A second day on Lenahra.
This afternoon he would find a way to get the younglings somewhere safer, preferably off-world.

Chapter 15:

The younglings have never seen working tech.
Zae-Brii had seen the last of their ships leave the planet. There was some conflict involved about who wanted to stay and who wanted to go.
They’ll “go tomorrow” to the harvest.
Obi-Wan was “2 days away from the temple.”
Obi-Wan will stay until tomorrow at least.
The beacon is turned on.

Interlude:

“He had suffered so much for so long.”
The beacon turns on. “I’ve found you. I’m coming.”

Chapter 16:

He had never woken up to anything as beautiful as the opalescent sky above him.
Zae-Brii and Audj had been in love “forever.”
He suspected some of his friends had dabbled in physical relationships.
“I would never want to be in a relationship with a leader.” – Obi-Wan
The hike to the harvest will take half a day.

Chapter 17:

One of the rules the children’s parents gave them was not to enter the doorway next to the scarred landscape.
The Jedi Archives were so extensive because they needed to learn from the past.
There were giant murals “as old, if not older” than those in the Jedi Temple.
The settlement the children were from wasn’t the original inhabitants.
Writing of a primitive culture of 3-legged race.
The murals end with the mass death of the culture. It had happened “a very, very long time before.”
Obi-Wan finds a data chip older than he’d “ever seen,” and believes that Orla Jareni did make it there.

Chapter 18:

The cave reminded him of Ilum, through awe and fear.
The place was sacred.

Chapter 19:

The planet is attacking them for stealing the glowing orbs.
“A few years before when he was just a youngling initiate, a padawan had been killed. She was collateral damage in a senseless attack.” Most likely this is a reference to Nim Pianna, apprentice to Rael Averross (Master and Apprentice).

Interlude:

They lose one of the ships in the asteroid field above Lenahra.
This triumph was “years in the making.”
He would be strong enough “forever.”

Chapter 20:

He hadn’t mastered sending out soothing force powers yet. They weren’t common among Jedi.
The people before the current settlement had also taken the orbs and they all died.
Amyt was just a baby when their people first found the orbs.
Not everyone agreed with how they took the power, so some left.
The orbs killed their parents prematurely.
Their people lived here for two or three generations without the power.
Audj has “worked hard all these years” to keep everyone safe.
“Knowing the past meant learning from it.”

Chapter 21:

A ship lands on Lenahra, at the harvesting place.
The man is Audj and Casul’s uncle.

Chapter 22:

They call him Uncle Loegrib.
Obi-Wan had never been alone.
“There had been one time as a youngling,” he’s had gotten sick.
Loegrib had been off-planet “for years.”
Two ships were lost in the asteroid field.

Chapter 23:

Obi-Wan meets Dexter Jettster.
Dex has “worked a lot of jobs on a lot of planets.”
Loegrib says it’ll take “a day or two” to fix the ship.

Interlude:

Loegrib wasn’t there to save anyone.
Those who got off Lenahra had found a new home between two stars.

Chapter 24:

Obi-Wan plans to leave in the night.
He finds a bomb that responds to altitude on his ship’s hull. His return to Coruscant will have to wait.

Chapter 25:

Obi-Wan gets Zae-Brii to be his accomplice.
She too thinks it’s strange that Loegrib wanted to wait days before letting the kids aboard his ship.
Obi-Wan exclaims that he’ll never have a padawan as bad as he is.

Chapter 26:

The Power fades from the children’s system quicker as they grow older.
Obi-Wan was calmest when going through his lightsaber forms. He had a lot of practice training his firms through “chaos.”

Chapter 27:

As initiates, they used to play “hide and sense.”
Once, Obi-Wab had switched out Bolla’s wash cream for Naboo glitter paste. “Bolla had shimmered for days.”
“Obi-Wan had been so miserable lately.”
When Obi-Wan sensed the creatures of Lenahra, his senses went all over the place, something that had never happened to him in the Temple.
“Someone put it there tonight.” Obi-Wan on the mining charge left beneath his ship.
Dex is a miner for hire.
Loegrib is there for the power.

Chapter 28:

Day had arrived when they got back to the Children’s ship.
Obi-Wan didn’t yet have the Force ability to temper another’s emotions.
A6-G2 partially accesses the ancient data chip.

Chapter 29:

Mem may have spoken to ghosts in the past.
“This is the record of Orla Jareni.” She traveled here from old Star charts and half lost records.
Cohmac and Orla found this place when they were padawans.
Orla Jareni made this recording just before going to help Elzar Mann, meaning the recording was from 232/231 BBY. (Tie-in to The Rising Storm) she traveled straight to Elzar from Lenahra.
She was led here by the Force, when she was a rebellious padawan herself.
She never made it back to Lenahra, and Obi-Wan was the first Jedi since.

Chapter 30:

“Reach for the Force with open hands.” Qui-Gon told Obi-Wan this the first time they meditated together.
“For so long he was afraid of being afraid.” He had these fears ever since passing his trials.
“For the first time since becoming a padawan, Obi-Wan let go.”
His créche once snuck into an unused pool in the Jedi Temple.
The asteroid field above Lenahra was formed “unfathomable years before.”
Obi-Wan’s first deep meditation.

Chapter 31:

“I was living in fear for so long.”
He had felt betrayed by his Master “a few days earlier.”

Chapter 32:

Sometimes things can be pushed so far into fear and darkness that they can’t come back.
Audj had been in charge for “so long.”

Chapter 33:

Casul goes missing.
Bolla had tried to cut cheese with a lightsaber before.
Placing the orbs back made the animals happy.
They couldn’t remember the last time they walked without something attacking them.

Chapter 34:

Lenahra has been telling them “from the beginning” that you shouldn’t use it’s power.
Loegrib tries to bend the minds of the children for his own gain.
Loegrib’s employer wants the power so they can combat the Jedi.
Dex comes to their aid.
The children use the knowledge of how the planet protects itself that they’ve learned their whole lives to fight.

Chapter 35:

“If Obi-Wan became a Jedi Knight,” he would have to fight someday.
Qui-Gon was “far older” than Obi-Wan.
The Force led Obi-Wan to where Lenahra would help him.

Interlude:

Everyone was “always against him.”
He had hurt “all these years”.
He was the container and “it was time at last” to be filled with the Power.

Chapter 36:

“The right way isn’t always easy.”
“A few days earlier, he would have been tempted” to tat on Lenahra.
The gash would always be on Lenahra.
Loegrib eats a lot of the power.

Chapter 37:

Loegrib’s power would be difficult for even Master Yoda, according to Obi-Wan.
Loegrib claims to be stronger than the planet, stronger than the Force.
“Obi-Wan didn’t have any skills developed enough for this.”
Obi-Wan used the Force to sling a small pebble at Loegrib’s forehead. An homage to David and Goliath.

Chapter 38:

Obi-Wan was as tired as he had ever been in his life, more than even after his initiate trials.
The impending storm was “bigger and brighter than anything Obi-Wan had ever seen.”
“We’re not welcome here anymore, are we?”

Chapter 40:

He had much more to learn from Qui-Gon still.
Qui-Gon had “slept in,” his excuse for missing the shuttle. He hints that he intended for Obi-Wan to go off alone, on an unsanctioned mission, to find his balance in the Force.
Qui-Gon has “always been fascinated with Wayseekers.”
The door is still open for Dooku to rejoin the Jedi.
The Council has assigned a mission to Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon.
