[ It's who you are, the boy says, but Obi-Wan can't help but think, 'Is it?'
If it was who they were, if their teachings were meant to endure all manner of hardship, to be everlasting and strong and true, why was it so easy for one of them to be turned, and then to turn on all of his people in kind?
Obi-Wan doesn't cow to the spirited statements, and truthfully he wishes he still thought the same. And he had — once. He'd fought for so long, and fought so hard, and he had mourned the death of his padawan — his friend, his brother — through that time too. None of it mattered in the end if he didn't keep his promises to protect the children.
And now, if what Third Sister says is true ... Anakin was still alive. He hadn't died that day on Mustafar.
He's still trying to absorb this. ]
When are you from? And for that matter, what is your name?
