Lowdun,

Why do you do that? A 2 sentence letter, why? Fine, explain whenever you can.

Note 3
John,

I am sorry for writing you a two-sentence letter, but I was still very shocked when I wrote it, and I didn’t feel like giving you the entire story behind it. I can tell you now.

Do you remember when I used to live on Alderaan…when my parents were alive and when my father bought that slave Frey? I have never told anyone this…so bear with me. Frey was a Jedi Knight and caught another Jedi looking at some ancient Sith Journal so that he could become a Sith. He caught Frey spying on him and sold him as a slave after taking away his family and making them be his prisoners. My father, Alex Skywalker, bought him. My brother Elliot was really mean to Frey, but I tried to help him and we got to talking. We became very, very close friends, which led to him telling me about the Sith and about his family. Up until that point, the Sith had been extinct….but when the guy (his name was Poopsie Kritch) discovered the old Sith Journal, the Sith rose again.

Poopsie Kritch started practicing the Sith ways, and he killed my parents without my knowing during one of his Sith exercises. When the woman I loved was kidnapped (by Poopsie) Frey and I set out to face him. On the way over, Frey got a Jedi vision of seeing some Skywalker FROM MY LINE become a Sith. This certain Skywalker had an extremely high Force level. He also had some vision about there being something called the Empire, which I understand exists now. The Empire in his vision was very unjust. (Which I understand this Empire is too.)

Well Frey and Poopsie fought, and in the fight, Frey died. I was able to rescue Frey’s family and the woman I loved, but I could not save Frey. I was angry at myself for not being able to stop Frey’s death…..and I would have tried to fight him had I not had Frey’s family and my woman to worry about. We fled the planet quickly.

On my way back home, someone contacted me to tell me that my parents had been killed, and somehow I KNEW it was Poopsie that had killed them.

Wanting to prevent any of my off-spring from becoming a Jedi, (because of Frey’s vision) and because I was not able to use my Force to save my parents or Frey…I quit the Jedi Order and pretended as if I had never heard of it. I could not bear to tell anyone about Poopsie being a Sith….because I kept on blaming myself, so I moved to Tatooine and married the woman that I loved. I started a farm business there…..and I purposely did not expose my children to the Jedi ways.

I had three children: Ellen, Brax, and Summoner. None of them were interested in the Jedi ways, so I was pleased. Summoner was my strongest force sensitive child, but he was not interested in Jedi, and I never told him about it.

Ellen and Brax moved away, but Summoner stayed on Tatooine to take on the farming business. He married a woman named Shmi and they had two children. Shmi was pregnant with a third, but towards the end of her pregnancy, (it was about that time that the Maurders bought Tatooine from the Republic…..and when they did that, our family business went down. We had a lot of financial troubles) and Summoner did something to his wife…what he did, I never found out, he may have killed her or sold her…..or I don’t know…..but I know he joined the Maurders because he lost his Force sensitivity. Summoner’s children were named Rhun and Owen. Neither of his children were Force sensitive. I could not afford to live on Tatooine, so I moved away. I never found out what happened to Shmi.

Very recently I have came into contact with someone that I believe is of my line, but I don’t know for sure. I don’t know how it would be possible…..unless he is the son of the child that Shmi was pregnant with. He said his father’s first name is Alex. Since I don’t know what Shmi would have named her child, whether it was a boy or a girl, or even if Shmi was alive….it’s hard for me to say. All I know is that there is a Skywalker that I have met that is VERY Force sensitive. I am worried that he might be of my line and worried that he might be the Sith in Frey’s vision. I would think that since the Empire exists, it’s possible that he could be that Sith. I’m worried. I want to stay away from him.

Well now that you know the nature of my concerns, what do you think?

And what in the world is going on? I barely know what the Empire and the Rebellion are…and everyone is running around talking about some Death Star thing. What’s the deal with it?


Lowdun

Note 4
Lowdun,

Why didn't you tell me (or somebody) sooner? Because if it IS to happen then we could be in HUGE trouble!!! Who is that boy you're talking about? I haven't seen him.

Ok, so what are we going to do about it, if this boy IS that Sith person?

I'll explain the Empire and stuff later, but all I can tell you is, Darth Vader (Sith Lord) made a space station as huge as a small moon, and it can destroy planets!! Right now, from what I've heard, he's planning on destroying Yavin, but we're sending out our pilots in hopes to destroy the Death Star, before it does us. That's why everyone is running around.


John

Note 5
John,

The boy I’m talking about is named Luke Skywalker. I’m sure there are a lot of Skywalkers….but this Skywalker said he was new to the Rebellion and had never flown before, so that should narrow it down. I’m scared of him because of his Force level.

First of all I COULDN’T tell anyone because I had no communication because I was taken prisoner at the beginning of the Clone Wars and I had no way to communicate to anyone…plus I thought I could prevent the person of my line from becoming a Sith by simply breaking away from the Jedi and not allow my children to become Jedi.

What are the Sith doing these days? The last Sith I heard of was Poopsie Kritch, but I heard about some Naboo Invasion and I heard that there were Sith that were connected to that. I went to the trouble of looking them up…their names were Darth Sidious and Darth Maul…neither of which was in my line. I learned that Darth Sidious was Poopsie’s son.

Well do you know who the boy I’m talking about is? I know there are a lot of people here, but do you know who he is? If you do, what do you think of him? Do you think he would be dangerous?

Where are the Jedi? I don’t see any Jedi around here. You would think that the Council would have sent a Jedi to this base to help protect us.

We COULD kill the boy if he IS the Sith person, but we’d have to make sure.

Wait….there is a new Sith? Darth Vader? Who is he? I have to know. I have to know who all Sith are. (You understand my reasons…because of the line thing.) What does Darth Vader look like? Frey described him to me, and I’m not going to tell you what the Sith looked like in his vision because I don’t want you to say something that you wouldn’t normally say about him. All Sith have a real name…Darth Sidious’ was Yodar Palpatine Kritch (but he made his middle name his last name so that no one would associate him with his father). I want to know who Darth Vader’s parents are and everything too. Also, tell me about any other Sith there are out there and I want the same information. If you don’t know, get the information for me from someone that knows.

How did Darth Vader made a space station the size o a small moon? How could he???? That would take a lot. It can destroy planets? How did he create such a thing? That would take a lot of intelligence.

Okay, if you don’t want to explain the Empire to me now, don’t. I’m sure you can tell me later. I’m interested in both the Sith and this Luke Skywalker person who might be a relative of mine…and might be the Sith I was talking about.


Lowdun
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 6
Lowdun,

I'll try and answer everything and update everything for you all right?

Yes, now, Darth Sidious is now Emperor Palpatine (former Senator of Naboo, and Chancellor). He's the bad guy. Darth Maul was killed by Obi-Wan on Naboo after his master (Qui-Gon, I think) was killed. Then there was this Count Doork (or something like that) Sith, whom was a former Jedi, but turned when the Clone wars began. Darth Vader, well, I can't tell you too much, because I don't know too much about him. The best person to ask may be Padmé or Obi-Wan, because they seem to know more about Sith and Jedi then I do.

Vader is tall, wears black cape, mask, suit, and you can hear his breathing, which sounds like an animal or a person with REALLY bad asthma. He has a deep, deep voice, very commanding, and kills anyone who gets in his way, or doesn't like. Ask Bail's daughter Leia, because she was captured by him before she came here.

About the Jedi...Lowdun, there are no Jedi anymore. Obi-Wan is the only one left I know of for now. What happened was Vader attacked Coruscant and the Jedi Temple killing all the Jedi and everyone. The Republic fell and the Rebellion rose shortly after. After the Jedi fell Palpatine declared himself Emperor and everything has been dark and down hill since. That's way the Jedi aren't here.

Oh yeah, anything about Vader, he's proud about his high intelligences and high Force Sensitive. He happens to be the only human with the high Force sensitive, or so I've heard. With intelligences and high Force sensitive you come up with someone whose really smart, and can make the Death Star. I don't know how, but he thought that Death Star up, and is destroying planets with it.

Yes, I know this Luke Skywalker you're talking about, and know he doesn't seem dangerous to me. He doesn't have the best of health, and he seems completely loyal to the Rebellion. I don't think he'll ever be a Sith, if that's what you're asking.

Ok, I now understand your reasons, but you COULD have told at least me before the Clone Wars. I would have understood. Since you didn't, I'm glad you have now.

Well, I hope I helped you some. Be sure and tell me if you come up with anything. I'll contact Padmé and Obi-Wan for you and ask them for more information about Vader. If they asked 'why?' should I tell them what you told me, or no?


John

Note 7
First John and Lowdun Note written after AOTC came out.


John,

Okay, so the Sith you know about are Darth Sidious (the Emperor Palpatine), Darth Maul, and some guy named Count Dakoo, and then Darth Vader. I know who Count Dooku was!!!!! He was the one that left me stranded on that planet. He was so mean. I’ll tell you that he’s not the one that is related to me, and Darth Sidious is not related to me either (because I know he was Poopsie Kritch’s son), Darth Maul….well he was alive before the Empire, so it can’t be him. I believe that…well that it might be Darth Vader and not the Luke Skywalker kid that Frey dreamed about.

Do you know who Darth Vader’s parents were or what his name was before he turned bad? (Assuming he is the relative). I’m pretty sure that it was Darth Vader that is my relative because Frey described the dream to me and described the Sith to me in great detail. He told me that the Sith was dressed in all black and had a mask, and I can’t remember if he said he could hear his breathing or not, but I’m guessing that the Darth Vader guy might be my relative. So his breathing sounds like an animal or a person with REALLY bad asthma. So he kills people who get in his way? I wish I could find out who his parents were because then I’d know for sure.

So he captured Bail’s daughter Leia?

There are now Jedi anymore? How terrible! How did that happen? The Jedi were powerful! Obi-Wan is the only one left? Vader must be pretty powerful. Frey said my Sith relative in the dream had a REALLY strong Force, so it must be him. Vader killed off the Jedi? Palpatine declared himself Emperor? A SITH is in charge of the Republic….or rather….I keep forgetting…the Empire?

I honestly tried to make sure that none of my descendants would become Jedi…but I guess my efforts didn’t do any good. I tried my best to live in on a planet that was as far from the Jedi as I could think of…I moved to Tatooine and had 3 children with my wife: Summoner, Ellen, and Brax. Summoner was the one with the strongest force. Neither of my other two children were Force Sensitive. Summoner didn’t want to become a Jedi, and I wouldn’t have let him even if he had wanted to learn anything about them. I didn’t tell him anything about the Jedi until he was old enough to have established his own family. He had two children…Owen and Rhun, and his wife was pregnant with a 3rd child, but Summoner did something with his wife. I’m not sure what he did. He came back and told me that she had died because she was run over by a bantha. I didn’t know whether to believe him or not. I knew that he had joined the Maurders because I had noticed that he had lost his Force Sensitivity. Well if that Darth Vader guy is of my line, he must have been that 3rd child that I never saw. I don’t know what his name would have been, and I’m confused about it. I don’t know where this Darth Vader was raised or how he became a Sith.

I moved away from Tatooine shortly after that because the Maurders bought Tatooine and we were starting to go poor because of it. I urged my children to leave with me. Summoner stayed though because he was a Maurder and preferred to live on Tatooine. I don’t know what happened with that…if he gave up being a Maurder, or if he continued to be one. My other children all left. I think Darth Vader’s name might have been Alex because of something my great grandson said.

My great grandson is Luke Skywalker, and you said you knew him. Well I knew his uncles, but I never knew his father. He said his father’s name was Alex. Unless Summoner’s wife had twins or something, then I think his father is Darth Vader. Do you know if that’s right? I suppose the poor kid wouldn’t know if Darth Vader were his father because I don’t think anyone would have told him, but do you think it’s possible? That’s the only thing I can think of.

So Vader’s proud about his high intelligence and Force Sensitivity?

Oh but Vader COULDN’T have been the one that came up with the plans to build the Death Star. How do I know? Well because I had accidentally ended up on the planet where Count Dooku and Jango Fett were talking about some plans for something that they called the Death Star. I didn’t make the connection until you just said that Darth Vader was the one that came up with it. Yes, I heard them talking about how it would be able to blow up planets and things. Unless Darth Vader isn’t my relative, and he was in that room, (I don’t remember seeing anyone with a black cape, but who knows). I was going to go contact the Republic, but one of the people in the meeting caught me and they took me to that small planet and left me there so that I would die. I was 60 at the time and they probably considered me too old to worry that much about.

Anyway, so you know my great grandson? He doesn’t seem dangerous to you? Okay, but he DOES have a really strong Force. I can tell that sort of thing because I have a pretty strong Force level myself, but I know that that boy has a stronger Force Sensitivity than I do. You said that he doesn’t have the best of health? What do you mean by that? You have examined him? I hope that he’s not the Sith, and I also hope that he is completely loyal to the Rebellion, even if his father is the Darth Vader guy.

Yes, I’m glad that I’ve told someone about Frey’s visions now too.

If I’m wrong about Vader being my relative, I would feel so stupid. Please don’t ask anyone. Just ask them if there’s anyone in my line that is currently a Sith. (I’m talking about Obi-Wan and Padmé.)



Lowdun

Note 8
Lowdun,

I most likely won't be able to get a hold of Obi-Wan (because he's always busy with something), but I can ask Padme for you. If you want to know anything about Luke being very Force sensitive or anything about the Jedi stuff that I'll never understand, you should ask Obi-Wan yourself, because I won't know what or how to ask. You know more than I, so you should ask.

Sorry, I don't know who Vader's parents are. I was beginning to think that Palpatine was, because they're both EVIL! But I'm not sure. I hope he's not your relative, because you don't want him to be your grandson.

Yes, Luke seems to be completely loyal to the Rebellion. He's that one that blew up the Death Star (without his targeting computer!). His health isn't the best, because his lungs are weak causing bad asthma, his legs are slightly crooked, and...that's all.

I think Dakoo is Dooku (someone accidentally told me otherwise). I'm sure that Darth Maul isn't related to you, because he had a black and red face with horns on his head. So he's out of the picture. Palpatine, I'm SURE isn't related to you. Dooku, no, because he was before the Clone Wars. So it really only leaves Vader. I'm not sure how he could be related to you in anyway, but I'll ask around (don't worry I won't say anything about you being 'related' to him, or anything).

By the way, what was Summoner's wife's name?

I don't know how a Sith was able to rule the Republic/Empire without the Jedi sensing it, because again I'm not good with Jedi or Sith stuff, so I have no idea. You'll have to ask Obi-Wan. Anyone that wants to know more about the Jedi, Sith and Force stuff go to Obi-Wan.

Well, I have to go.

Note 9
John,

Yes, please ask Padmé if she knows if there is anyone in my line that is a Sith. I realize that she probably wouldn’t know, but I don’t know who all I can trust with this vision thing…I don’t want people to think I’m crazy. Do you think Padmé would understand? If you can’t get a hold of her, that’s all right. I tried to contact Obi-Wan, but he seems to be preoccupied with something, and Padmé seems busy helping with getting the new base up and running. You’d better not ask her my question…I’m sure she’s too busy.

So you don’t know who Vader’s parents are? I HAVE to find out…that is if that part of Frey’s vision is true and that one of my relatives will be a Sith. So you think Palpatine might be Vader’s father? I’ve GOT to know what Vader’s real name is. Is it something Kritch? If it is, then he is Palpatine’s son. If it’s Alex Skywalker, that it means that he’s my grandson…that’s why I have to know. Just find out from someone whether Vader’s real name is Alex Skywalker or not. If it’s not, then I’m going to have to worry about Luke being the Sith. If Luke’s the Sith, either way, I’m scared of him.

I hope that that part of Frey’s vision was all wrong. I don’t want to have a Sith be my relative either. I hope Vader’s not my grandson, because he sounds evil and terrible. Maybe Vader isn’t my grandson. Luke isn’t being much of a help…I know he’s trying, but he barely knows anything about his father. He did tell me that his father was a Jedi and had a midi-cholorian count of 24 thousand, but he also told me that Vader killed him because he refused to tell Vader information. That’s good because it means that Vader’s not his father, but it still means that Luke could be a Sith or that the Jedi vision was wrong about it being one of my relatives.

All right…yes, Luke told me that he blew up the Death Star too. I understand that he is completely loyal to the Rebellion, and I hope he stays that way. Hmm…the only way that Luke could have blown up the Death Star without using his targeting computer would have been if he had used the Force. He must have done that, so I must be right, and he is Force Sensitive.

So his health isn’t the best because his lungs are weak causing bad asthma and his legs are slightly crooked. All right…thanks. Hmm….I wonder why he has weak lungs and slightly crooked legs. As far as I knew, everyone in my family was strong and had really strong lungs and no one in my family that I have heard of has had crooked legs or asthma. Of course I don’t know everything from way back in my family history, so whatever the reason was it must not have been hereditary.

Of course I realize that people could have lied to Luke about his father…and maybe Vader still is his father. If that’s the case, then it might make sense why Luke was born the way he was. You see…there’s something that the Force does kind of as protection when a father uses the Dark Side for any reason…it has some kind of affect on all future male children. I’m not exactly sure how it works, but if a person is evil enough before having children, the male children could be so messed up that they would die. The Force IS hereditary and so to prevent a father to train a son using the Dark Side (making more Sith) it has that reaction thing. It only works if the evil person used the Force BEFORE the child was conceived. If they use it after, it doesn’t do anything because the child was already conceived. I don’t know…that might be an explanation, but I hope it’s not true.

I also know that sometimes things happen even in healthy families and sometimes they have sick children even though the woman did everything she could to have a healthy pregnancy. I’m no doctor (like you are) so I’m just trying to make sense of the whole situation. Tell me if I’m wrong.

Yes, you’re right…it’s Dooku and not Dakoo. I spelled the name wrong…being gone so many years made me forget how to spell his name.

No, you’re right…..Darth Maul doesn’t sound like he was the one that is related to me. I’m a human and there’s no way I could have a relative that was red and black and had horns. Yes, I know that Palpatine’s not the one related to me…as I told you before I know who Palpatine’s father was.

I also told you that I knew who Dooku was. I know I wasn’t related to him.

Right now I’m getting nowhere with whether Vader was my relative or not…but I have been running ideas through my head. There is nothing that suggests either one way or the other. Have you talked to anyone who knows yet? You said you’d try to find out if Vader was my relative, how he could be related to me, and information like that.

What was Summoner’s wife’s name? Her name was Shmi. I can’t remember her maiden name…but her name was Shmi. That’s all I know. I don’t know what happened to her after my son did something to her…I never found out if Shmi died or not.

I also heard that Luke and Han got lost outside on Hoth. Is that true? Have you heard from anyone? Well it looks like Luke will die…..so he couldn’t have been the Sith in Frey’s vision.


Your friend,
Lowdun
