Time stopped flowing.
Luke maintained his falling posture and then stopped in the air. Everyone was at a loss and didn't know what was going on. At that moment, Fangzheng stood up and disappeared into the air. He then reappeared beside Desvader.
"What are you going to do with him?"
Fangzheng looked at Desvader with a smile. In the original movie, Palpatine had asked Desvader to capture Luke because he foresaw that Luke would be the one to kill him. But now, because of Fangzheng's guidance, Palpatine was trying to understand the nature of the Force. He had been training in seclusion on Coruscant and did not care about Luke at all. So this time, Desvader had captured Luke for his own sake.
"Mr. Fangzheng."
Desvader was a little surprised to see Fangzheng suddenly appear in front of him. Fangzheng reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"See, I've told you before that your method of persuasion doesn't work at all. As a father, you don't know how to persuade your son at all. Forget it, I'll help you. After all, I'm also providing technical support for you."
As he spoke, Fangzheng raised his hand. Everyone was surprised to see everything in front of them rewind. Luke, who had been falling, returned to his original position. Even his right hand, which had been cut off by Desvader, jumped back from below and reattached to Luke's wrist.
Then, time began to flow again.
Luke moved his body and looked at his right hand in surprise. He opened his right hand, clenched it, and opened it again. Following that, Luke raised his head and looked at Fangzheng in surprise.
"You … It's you? Why did you do this? "
"Well, my question is not important now. What's important is the two of you … Hey, Desvader doesn't know how to take care of children. That's normal. After all, he didn't raise you. But Luke, my purpose here is not to persuade you to join the Empire, but to let you understand your father's past. "
"My father's... past?"
"That's right. Hmm … I think it's important to increase the understanding between father and son. Desvader can't speak, so don't take it to heart. So … what do you think?"
As he spoke, Fangzheng looked at Darth Vader.
"I have a way to make you relive the past. Of course, this involves violating your privacy, so let me ask you this first. Are you willing to use this method to show your past experiences and thoughts to your son and daughter?"
"…"
Desvader was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"What about you? Mr. Luke? And Miss Leah? "
Fangzheng snapped his fingers, and Leah appeared beside Luke. She stared at Fangzheng with a complicated expression, gritting her teeth.
"I refuse. No matter what kind of illusions you use to bewitch me, I will not yield!"
"I … want to see."
However, unlike Leah, Luke gave a different answer. Leah widened her eyes in shock and looked at Luke.
"Luke!"
"He's my father. I want to know about my father's past. Isn't that wrong?"
"Alright, stop arguing. Arguing won't get us anywhere. Since you think it's an illusion, just treat it as a movie."
As he spoke, Fangzheng stretched out his hand and pressed it against Desvader's chest.
"You're really hard here. Are you ready?"
"…"
Faced with Fangzheng's question, Desvader nodded slowly in silence. Fangzheng snapped his fingers.
"Alright, let's begin … the journey to Star Wars Episode I!"
As Fangzheng spoke, everyone was surprised to see the scenery around them suddenly change. Immediately following that, they appeared on a planet covered in yellow soil and sand. In a shop that looked extremely dilapidated, a child was desperately wiping the parts there.
"This is …?!"
Luke's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the child who resembled him. At that moment, Desvader's voice rang out.
"This is me."
"Father?"
"That's right. At that time, I was just a child. My mother and I were lost to Voltu by Jabba, so I've been working for Voltu as a slave."
Desvader's voice was flat.
But at that moment, Voltu's voice rang out. The young Anakin also hurried out. Beside an alien with wings stood a young girl and an old man in a long robe. Desvader was silent for a moment.
"That's your mother."
"Mother … Mother?!"
At that moment, both Luke and Leah were stunned. They had lost their parents at birth and did not know who their father was or what their mother looked like. Now, they had finally seen their mother.
"This is our mother?"
"Yes, she's Padmé Amidala, the ruler of Naboo. At that time, her country was invaded by the Trade Federation. Amidala was rescued by two Jedi Ambassadors. Later, their spaceship encountered a small problem and was forced to land on Tatooine. Amidala disguised herself as a maid and traveled with them. That was also the first time I met your mother. "
Perhaps the memories had stirred up his emotions, but Desvader's tone became much gentler.
They saw a lot more after that, including how Anakin won the competition and obtained parts for their spaceship. He regained his freedom, but his mother remained there.
"Why?!"
Luke could not help but ask.
"Why didn't they take her with them? Isn't she Father's mother? "
"That's because the training of a Jedi Knight is actually anti-human."
Fangzheng spoke up at that moment.
"A Jedi requires a state of mind that is peaceful and free from external concerns. Your family, your loved ones, all belong to this category. Only by giving up on them can you obtain peace of mind. Hmm, in my opinion, this is all nonsense. I'm afraid you're either out of your mind or out of your mind. "
"…"
Hearing this, Luke's expression became complicated. Leah did not know what to say. So they continued to watch. They soon saw the meeting of the Galactic Parliament. Queen Pamilada accused the Trade Federation of invading Naboo, but many countries denied her accusation, believing that it was nothing more than a conspiracy or a conspiracy.
"They have always desired to overthrow the rule of the Republic and gain greater autonomy."
Desvader's tone became fierce.
"It has been like this since the beginning of the Republic. These aliens are jealous of the dominance of humans in the Republic and have always wanted to challenge it. They believe that they are the victims of this system, so in the name of fairness and freedom, they desire more power to keep humans in check. "
"… That seems to be the thoughts of the Resistance."
Luke silently turned his head and glanced at Leah. Leah was speechless. She lowered her head and did not say a word.
After that, they saw Anakin's situation in the Council of Jedi Elders. They feared him, ignored him, and denied him. However, only the one who brought Anakin back, Qui-Gon, remained steadfast in his belief that Anakin would become an outstanding Jedi Knight.
"This is completely different from what I imagined a Jedi to be."
Looking at this scene with a complicated expression, Luke did not even know what to say.
"How could they treat a child like this? And this child even helped them … "
Speaking of this, Luke also had mixed feelings. He had not received formal Jedi training, but looking at the scene in front of him, his original view of the Jedi changed greatly. To be honest, Luke agreed with Qui-Gon. At least so far, he did not see any danger in this child. This was also the disagreement between Qui-Gon and the Council of Elders. The Council of Elders was not willing to take risks, but Qui-Gon believed that everyone's future was not fixed.
However, Qui-Gon died in the end.
After losing Qui-Gon, who was like a father to him, and being far away from his mother, Anakin grew up alone on Coruscant. He endured the distrust of the Council of Elders and became a Jedi Knight. However, after that, Anakin encountered a new problem. He fell in love with Queen Palmirada, but Jedi Knights were not allowed to fall in love, marry, and have children. Not only that, Anakin also dreamed of his mother dying in pain in his arms. He felt uneasy about this, so he went to the planet where his mother was. There, he learned that his mother had been captured by the Sandpeople. Anakin went to rescue her, but in the end, just like in the dream, his mother died in Anakin's arms.
Angered by this, Anakin wiped out the entire Sandpeople village and buried his mother.
Anakin wept bitterly over what he had done. Fangzheng patted Darth Vader on the shoulder.
"I don't think you need to blame yourself for this."
"Is that so? Sir? "
Luke looked at Fangzheng in confusion.
"But no matter what, even if the Tuskens are really bad, what he did …"
"In our world, there are creatures called goblins. They only have males and no females, so they always attack villages and steal women to mate with to give birth to their offspring. You haven't seen what happens to the young girls who are bullied by the Goblins. To us, the only way to destroy them is to destroy the entire lair and kill all the Goblins, regardless of whether they are big, small, or newly born. "
Fangzheng spread his hands.
"Only dead goblins are good goblins. The same goes for the Tuskens. That's their nature, and it can't be changed. However, their existence is obviously disadvantageous to us, so eliminating them completely is also an option."
After that, they found out something even more shocking. The clone soldiers, which were the predecessors of the Imperial Stormtroopers, were actually built and completed by the Jedi Council of Elders!
Luke and Rheia had to admit that the news left them completely at a loss, especially when they saw the clone army wearing the armour of the Imperial Stormtroopers slowly walk by and accept the inspection of the Jedi Council of Elders standing on the balcony not far away. Everyone had mixed feelings and did not know what to do.
After all, to them, the Imperial Stormtroopers were the symbol of the evil oppression of the Empire, and yet these soldiers were from the Jedi Council of Elders, who were supposed to be fighting for justice …
It was unimaginable!
If this was just the beginning, then the scene of the Jedi Council of Elders trying to overthrow the Prime Minister and gain the power of the Galactic Empire was even more disgusting.
"You see, to put it bluntly, there is no difference between good and evil between Jedi and Sith. Of course, Sith's actions are unpopular, but in the end, it's just a political game."
Fangzheng yawned and looked at Rheia.
"The losers are unwilling to accept their defeat and want to make a comeback, so they return in the name of the oppressed. But they must have selectively forgotten how arrogant they were when they were in power."
Palpatine's attempt to seize power violated the political interests of the Jedi Council and led to the final conflict between the two sides. This had nothing to do with whether Palpatine was Sith or not. If it was someone else, even if he was not Sith, he would still be eliminated by the Jedi Council of Elders. It was just that the fight would not be so tiring.
Bringing up the battle between Jedi and Sith and pitting them against each other would obviously gain more support.
Once the truth was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Just like now.
"This can't be real …."
Until the very last moment, when he saw the duel between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan and his mother's difficult labor, when everything returned to normal, Luke looked as if he couldn't believe the reality. He shook his head desperately.
"I don't believe it. It shouldn't be like this. Why is it like this?! I'm going to find out! "
As he screamed, Luke turned and ran. Darth Vader tried to stop him but was stopped by Fangzheng.
"Alright, Darth Vader, let him go. You too, Miss Rheia."
As he said that, Fangzheng looked at Rheia.
"You can go too. We've said what we need to say."
"…."
Hearing Fangzheng's reply, Rheia looked at him with a complicated expression for a moment, then ran after Luke.
"Is this okay?"
Desvader watched the two of them disappear before he slowly asked. Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.
"Trust me. Trust them. It's okay."
Fangzheng was confident. Although Jedi had been trying to pin the blame for Anakin's fall into darkness on Sith, Sith was not to be blamed!
The few major events that changed Anakin's life had nothing to do with Sith.
Was it Sith who arranged for the Sandmen to kill Anakin's mother? No way. However, Anakin was very uneasy. He wanted to visit his mother, but was rejected by the Jedi Elders, who asked him to prioritize the mission.
That's right, the Jedi Elders, not Sith.
In the end, if not for Amidala's understanding, Anakin would not have been able to see his mother for the last time.
After that, Anakin fell in love with the Queen. But what did that have to do with Sith? It wasn't Sith who brainwashed them and made one fall in love with the other, was it? But guess who did not allow them to be together? That was the commandment of the Jedi Elders.
What did it have to do with Sith?
In the end, Anakin dreamt of his lover dying in childbirth, but it was the little green man, Yoda, who fed him the poison.
What kind of bullshit was he spouting?
What did it have to do with Sith?
Nope.
What Xerxes had done was only to give him some support. Terminus himself was the one who truly pushed Anakin into the darkness.
But what did Jedi say?
'Oh, Sith lured you into darkness. This child's future is shrouded in dark clouds. I knew he was dangerous …'
He selectively ignored all the nonsense he did and pushed it all to Anakin and Sith, playing the white lotus.
This showed how shameless Jedi was.
Fangzheng believed that Luke would eventually understand. As for Leah …
"You can find someone from the Resistance and spread the news."
Fangzheng looked at Desvader and patted him on the shoulder.
"Tell them that Leah Organa Solo is the biological daughter of Anakin the Skywalker — — Lord Desvader. That's the truth, right? It's up to them now."
At this point, Fangzheng smiled.
"I believe that they will eventually return."
