I was shocked at the ending. Obi-Wan chose, yet he didn't. This story is a poem - emotion in its truest and purest form. Great job!

Wierd... but not in a bad way. YOu'd never think Obi-Wan would really think about his personal life. Nice Job!

I'm not usually crazy about stories of Jedi knights that deal solely with the romance/non-romance aspect of their lives, but the language used here is lovely. I think the opening lines are haunting, and set the tone for the whole piece. Good job!

A very interesting piece. I've never read anything quite like this. I agree with another comment-- it is more like a poem than anything else. A very lyrical vignette.

Good job.

Hey Arco, I really liked this story, it's cool how you show Obi-Wan fighting within himself. He loses something that he never really had, its cool. good work

I liked your story. Very well written. Interesting, I have my own story similiar to this, just the other way and he remains a jedi.
Very touching and sad yours is though. It was great!

I don't usually fanfics of this type, but I thought this was rather well done. You showed the emotion of Obi Wan in a proper manner. The only thing that bothered me was the non following of continuity by allowing Obi Wan to speak with Qui Gon. Thus far, it hasn't been shown that Qui Gon was able to retain his persona after becoming one with the Force. Other than that, I thought this was pretty good. I gave it a 7 out of 10.

Great job. Most people have difficulty completing a thought, much less an entire story in such a short form. You did really well with this. It sucks that he couldn't have both though. I like the idea of Jedi keeping family/relationship ties better. We can see the similar effect that it has on certain individuals in our own society. But, rules are rules. Thanks for writng

I enjoyed this story as a Beta Reader and now I'm enjoying it as a reader.
Well done!
I think that some Obi Wan romance was always missing in the movies, some little hint that would make him more human and more appealing. This story deals with it, yet doesn't and I find that realistic.

I really liked the bulk of this story, and I liked the end, (this sounds strange cus its short)
but i think the suspense wasnt built up quite enough for that last line...

I really enjoyed reading this short story! Most people don't know Qui-Gon not being able to communicate after death, but he can, and does in Episode II. This may be a SPOLIER if you have not yet seen the movie!
You can hear him scream "No Anakin, don't!" when they show Master Yoda seeing Anakin kill the sand people. I read the book and its in there too. Just an interesting fact. Oh yeah in Rogue Planet, Anakin speaks to Qui-Gon in his dream.

Anyway great story! Short and cool!

Very good work. Very lyrical and it has a certain flow to it. I fell into this deeply as though I was there watching the whole story unfold. Again, nice work. Your words flowed so smoothly.

Though it seems that a Jedi must suprress his or her emotions, it is good to see that they still have them.

This is an exquisite tale that has brought tears to my eyes. The ending is so simple, so sad. Even though Obi-Wan doesn't explicitly make a decision we already know what it will be, and there is so much heartbreak because of that.

Duty demands so much. You have a lovely quote in your summary.
