311 311. A Talk With Yoda

After their big meal, they finally headed to the Jedi Temple. Alexander was a big fan of Star Wars and knew many details about many aspects of the world.

He remembered that in his original world he was not interested in buying the Lucasfilms and the rights of Star Wars because Star Wars was already a fully complete story. Making more of it would have either required a crazy good story or a miracle. Though he did get the animation rights of it and continued pumping out quality animated series for years.

The Jedi temple was situated on a Force Nexus. It had a very rich history. Though most of the time it was dark. It was destroyed and occupied by the Sith empire many times in the past. It was like a cycle in the world of Star Wars that after every few hundred or thousand years, the Sith Empire would come again, get defeated and the cycle would begin again.

They hired a nice and big luxury taxi and went to the Jedi Temple. Surprisingly, when Alexander reached the main entrance of the temple he saw many Jedi waiting for them.

At their forefront was Yoda.

"Woah, what's with this welcome?" Alexander loudly muttered.

Yoda walked up to him, "Welcome, to our Jedi Temple. Master Obi-Wan told us about you, Grandmaster Universe."

Alexander was honestly surprised how Yoda was able to speak normally.

"Haha, thank you for welcoming me, Grandmaster Yoda. I got something to talk to you about." He said and brought forward Yoda Junior.

"Do you know this child? He is of your own species. I found him being sold in a slave auction." He explained.

Yoda looked at the small child and was shocked a bit. Alexander noticed it but didn't say anything.

"I do not know who this is. But I feel the force is strong with this one." Yoda stated in his monotonous voice.

All the Jedi Masters were mumbling behind seeing a being like Yoda. But they all stopped when they noticed Anakin walking up to Padme and openly kissing her without any reservations.

Alexander laughed, "Hahaha, youth."

"Anakin, what are you doing? Have you forgotten about your training?" The always strict Mace Windu spoke.

Even Padme was shocked by the public affection.

Anakin shrugged at Mace's words, "I am no longer a part of the Jedi Order. I have joined the Neutral Ones under the leadership of Grandmaster Universe."

"So it was true then, Obi-Wan wasn't joking when he said you left," Mace exclaimed.

All the Jedi masters of the Jedi council looked at Alexander with slight hostility, they tried to mask it but Alexander felt it.

"Woah, I thought you Jedi were good at controlling your minds and emotions. It seems it was a lie." Alexander scoffed.

Yoda looked back at his juniors, "Enough, inside we go. Guest he is."

~So he's back to broken tongue now.~ Alexander internally thought.

...

Chancellor Palpatine's office.

Mas Amedda, one of the followers of Chancellor came to report, "Report has come that Anakin has returned to the Jedi Temple. But there were some strange people with him. Two old men, Ahsoka Tano and a child that looked like Grandmaster Yoda."

"Ah, like Yoda you say? What are they up to now? Tell Anakin to meet me in the Senate today." Palpatine ordered.

...

Alexander was given pretty good treatment by the Jedi order. Yoda even personally showed him around the huge temple.

Alexander knew that Yoda also wanted to talk to him about something. So when they were alone in the library he confronted him, "Okay, what is it you want to talk about?"

Yoda was not surprised that his intentions were read by him. He answered with normal words this time, "Yes, I did want to talk. I sensed your arrival in the Galaxy. A being truly resonating as if one with the force, or the force itself. Who are you?"

"Haha, you are pretty strong to have sensed me so far out in the galaxy. Well, I am just a powerful being. I'm not particularly trained in the ways of Force but it comes naturally to me. So you can see me as the Master of the Force." He cryptically explained.

Yoda nodded, "Hmmm, that explains it. A master of the Force instead of the other way around. Which side does this master of the force belong to?"

Alexander waved his hand and two chairs and nice drinks appeared for them. "Hahaha, you may be 900 years old, Yoda, but you still haven't truly opened yourself to what the force truly is.

"The force is like air. But it is everywhere and inside everyone. Only a lucky few have the ability to sense it. Sometimes there are even whole species that can sense it, like you.

"But tell me, when does air on a planet start to go bad?" Alexander asked.

"When pollution increases," Yoda answered.

Alexander nodded and continued explaining, "Yes, just like that. Force is inherently pure. It is the creator of life. But it is also like air. Because it is everywhere, it is connected to everyone. So, if there is more crime, sadness, and anger throughout the galaxy as compared to goodness and happiness, then the force tends to favor the dark side as it gets polluted.

"Polluted force means that more force-sensitive people will be in danger of turning to the dark side. Have you ever wondered why the Dark side always seems to be stronger and why all the previous Sith Empires were so hard to deal with?

"That is because of that pollution. Supposedly, if there was more good in the Galaxy then the force would be purer, in turn making more good Jedi and favoring the powers of the light side."

"Hmm... so we need to rid the Galaxy of crimes and make it purer." Yoda thought loudly.

Alexander shook his head, "No, that would not be productive. Imagine the force as a thin line with two ends. On one end, there is the dark side, the Sith. And on the other, there is the light side, you. While I am in the middle.

"The Force has always been about balance. What is the most common practice in both Siths and the Jedi? It is meditation.

"By meditating, Force-sensitives could reach a deeper state of relaxation, making it easier for them to connect with the Force with a clear mind.

"So, just as we balance our minds, we can balance the Force too. Sith are always so powerful because they actively involve themselves and work to achieve their target. Meanwhile, Jedi just sit and let the Force lead them, which is false. Jedi only react to whatever the Sith does and often they react too late, look into the history and you will see this loop going on for a long time. I am also going to break this loop this time.

"Why wait? Why not promote peace and harmony through work, why not personally try to achieve love and happiness rather than isolating yourself from this feeling. Remember, initially, there was no dark or light side, we made it that way?"

Yoda was truly enlightened by his understanding of the Force. If what he heard was right, then the fundamental understanding of the Force in Jedi order was flawed.

"Where do your Neutral Ones fit in all this?" Yoda asked.

Alexander smiled, "Nowhere, Neutral ones just aspire to live happily while making others happy and helping them selflessly.

"Anyway, Yoda. Tell me about that child now. There has got to be something you know. And why is it that Yaddle disappeared and I found this kid? Is he your child?" Alexander asked, making Yoda who was drinking some water cough.

A monk being accused of indulging in lustful desires was not good after all.
