This is a really good fic, the image of the young Jedi taking the little one with him is touching.

Dark, but also touchingly beatiful...a Jedi Knight leaving this universe in peace and making a most difficult choice... the only choice that could protect a child from the Darkness. Well done. The bond that formed between them, even in that dark time, and the sad but tender realization that she might have been his Padawan was very powerful.

My heart broke in two, I think. The imagery is wonderful...very dark, very moving. And that last little sequence, the connection to the Force...I had to hold back tears.

This story is incredibly poignant. I loved the symbolism of the dirty basement standing for the filth of the Empire, and found it interesting that the Jedi's last duty was that of death. Very intriguing, and very beautiful. Thank you for sharing this story.

The fanFic was very well writen I belive that the jedi did the right thing by making the little girl sleep so she would not have to suffer the wows of life a hand or aid of the emporer

So this story is about a depressed Jedi who commits child homicide and suicide using the Force? That doesn't seem very Jedi-like.

I'd like to respond to the last person that commented. Well, explain really. First, I'd like to thank everyone who commented - thanks. Now. The reason the Jedi did what he did to himself and the child was because he saw no alternative - other paths led to the child and possibly him being dark-siders. As for it being un-Jedi like, I beg to differ. In the last part of ROTJ, Luke throws away his lightsaber - essentially comitting suicide, since he believes his father can't be saved. Make sense? Anyway, thanks for you comment. :)

Responding to the comment two messages above this one. I can see the point you're trying to make, but Luke didn't commit suicide, virtually or otherwise. He just refused to fight on the Emperor's terms (fight out of anger, hate, and all that other nasty stuff that says "Dark Side, Next Three Exits"). As for the child and the Jedi potentially being pulled to the Dark Side........always in motion is the future. I don't think that's a good enough reason to take the actions this Jedi did.

One last comment, I think the Jedi made a big mistake in this story, but it fits in with the character being a young, inexperienced Knight who's Master (most likely the only family he's ever known) was recently killed at the beginning of the Purges. However, I would like to make it clear that I thought the story was well written.

Many hugs to obaona. :)

I can follow the knight's reasoning-- sometimes, hard decisions just have to be made. "Always in motion" the future may be, but if he hadn't killed the both of them, what MIGHT Palpatine have done? How many OTHER innocents MIGHT have died for it? *shrugs* Sometimes hard decisions have to be made, whether we're ready to make them or not. And sometimes the "right" decision isn't always a "good" one.

I enjoyed it very much. I always am interested in how others see the jedi reacting to the purges. Look forward to reading more of your work.

This was an excellent piece of fan fiction. Some of the best I've ever read. Very "real life" aspect to it for those who read a little history. I've been very disappointed by the movie prequels, having always imagined the Jedi Purge to have been similar to the Holocaust, with everyone turning against the Jedi. The imagery used here in this story resounds with that hopelessness and despair. Could've been very dark and depressing, but instead you brought out the love the young Knight felt for his charge. I don't care what Mr. Lucas says. "There IS Love." Keep up the good work.
