[Luke spares time for a nod to each, and a thankful smile to Ami in particular. He was grateful to each and every one of them, but he knew he could count on her to be able to relate. She hadn't said much, but she had alluded to the fact that there were similar troubles in her own world.
Turning back to Anakin, he gulps. This was going to be the hard part]
No? Even...when he ordered you to kill Count Dooku? Did that not strike you as odd? To not take in a wounded enemy commander, and offer a trial? Furthermore, do you not think it was odd that he was so insistent that it be done at that exact moment? I do not mean that he was unkind to you, but merely that some of his...actions perhaps should have raised a few eyebrows.
Please, don't be alarmed that I'm aware of that. I'm sure...someone has at least informed you that our lives are works of fiction in other realities. You and I, and Ben, were central to a series of films it seems. That's how I know.
I don't really know how best to say this, Anakin. Do you remember when Master Qui-Gonn was killed by that Sith warrior? That Sith had a teacher and a master, in accordance to Sith tradition. This man was named Darth Sideous. He is, or was in my timeline, an incredibly dangerous individual who managed to work his way into the highest echelons of the Republic, using the Dark Side and his own magnetic persona to remain hidden, even in the face of powerful Jedi like Master Yoda and Master Windu.
He'll pause, allowing Ben a chance to explain. Or perhaps for Anakin to process]
