  Luke looked away from Obi-Wan, who sensed the young man’s thoughts had turned to Yoda. Despite all that Luke had learned about the Force, he remained deeply saddened by the deaths of his friends.

  “It is the pattern of all life to move on,” Obi-Wan said. “You, too, will face this journey one day. You are strong in the Force, Luke, and with perseverance and discipline you will grow stronger still.” Obi-Wan’s gaze hardened as he added, “But you must never relax your guard. The Emperor is gone, but the dark side is still powerful. Never forget that.”

  “I won’t. ”

  “You will yet face great dangers, Luke.” Then Obi-Wan’s expression softened, and his smile returned as he continued, “But you will also find new allies at times and places where you expect them least.”

  “New allies?” Luke said, genuinely curious. “Who are they?”

  Knowing that it was best not to reveal everything to Luke, Obi-Wan chose to ignore the question. As he felt himself begin to slip away from Luke’s dream, he said, “And now, farewell. I loved you as a son, and as a student, and as a friend. Until we meet again, may the Force be with you.”

  “Ben - !”

  Obi-Wan’s form had vanished, but his psyche lingered long enough to sense Luke think to himself, Then I am alone. I am the last of the Jedi.

  “Not the last of the old Jedi, Luke,” Obi-Wan said, his voice trailing off across the dimension of dreams. “The first of the new.”

  And Obi-Wan finally moved on.
