can feel the Force, a mystical energy field
that connects all living things in the galaxy.
Kanan says I can feel it, too. He says he
can train me in the ways of the Force to
become a Jedi and become connected to
something far bigger than Lothal, bigger
than the Empire, bigger than anything I
can imagine.
I accepted Kanan’s offer and returned his lightsaber. Now I’m part of the team.
Life moves pretty fast with this crew. We’re always blasting off on a new adventure,
helping those who need it, keeping the Ghost fueled, and letting the Empire know it
can’t push everyone around. I’m now Spectre-6 and part of what is, basically, a unique
kind of family.
We stay near Lothal, because the Empire wants it and its people need our help. I’m
fast on my feet and small enough to squeeze into and out of trouble spots. And like
Kanan said, I’ve got the Force. And I’m learning to use it.
See, most Imperials aren’t worth getting
scared about. That’s part of what our
crew does best: we show the people of
Lothal that they don’t need to be afraid
of stormtroopers, or TIE fighter pilots, or
bumbling Imperial officers. They can stand
up for themselves and what’s right.
But the Inquisitor . . . the Inquisitor is scary.
I think he even scares Kanan.
When the Empire came to power, it
went to a lot of effort to wipe out all the
Jedi Knights. The Empire does not want
any Jedi interfering with its plans. The
Inquisitor is the Imperial agent whose job
it is to hunt down and destroy all Jedi. Or
The Inquisitor has the Force,
too, but he’s not a Jedi. Kanan explained that the
Inquisitor uses the power of the dark side. He uses
hate, fear, and anger to become more powerful, and
he carries a lightsaber, too. Kanan tells me not to be
afraid and not to be angry. It’s hard, but he explains
that to be a Jedi is to trust in the Force. To trust that it
will guide you, and to trust that you will use it well.
I have to remember that. It’s easy to think that you’re
too small. That the Empire is too big. But the Force
is limitless. It’s bigger than the whole galaxy, and the
Empire couldn’t crush the power of the Jedi though it
tried its hardest.
Because Kanan and I are still around.
We’re here to stay, no matter what the Empire throws at us. We’ll always keep fighting
enough to help themselves. We work as a team, and we’re stronger for it. Kanan leads the
way. Zeb clears all obstacles. Hera gets us out of danger. Sabine leaves our mark. Chopper
keeps us running.
Me, I’m keeping my eyes and ears open and helping my team find the ins and outs of
Lothal. I’m using everything I learned on the streets, and all that I’m starting to learn from
Kanan about the Force, to make a far bigger difference than I could have made by myself.
So don’t be afraid of the Empire. Believe in something bigger than it. Believe in yourself.
And believe me, we’re going to win.
we’re the rebels.
