After the greetings put aside Jaune and Luke talked about the current news all over the Galaxy

The fall of the Empire, the return of the Galactic Senate, the reformation of the New Republic Army.

And some other news like the fall of the Crime Syndicates the Destruction of Imperial Remnants and the Arrest of Moth Gideon

Jaune returned the favor by giving Luke the events of the Galactic War and the Jedi Purge along his time dodging and running from the Imperial Inquisitors and their Jedi hunts

Luke shared his story and lineage as Jaune gave his

Now back to this planet in a galaxy far far away

Remnant Emerald Forest

Luke: will you help me rebuild the order?

Jaune: no.

Luke was stunned at the quick response

Luke: why? Don't you want the Jedi to return?

Jaune: everything happens for a reason Skywalker.....

With trace amounts of venom in his voice

Luke was put off by the animosity

Luke: please I just wish to build a new Jedi Academy not a Temple.

Jaune: your gonna re establish their way of thinking? No thanks.

Luke: please I'm appealing to your previous Jedi loyalty.

Jaune: everything they did from the Old Republic up to now was a mistake.

I studied the history of the Jedi during my tenure before the purge.

Do you know what I found?

Luke looks interested

Jaune: nothing but Hubris. Believing that their way is the only way and nothing else. I respected the Mandalorians for there Solidarity but not their thirst for battle.

Tell me did you find any students?

Luke: there was one, from the same species as Master Yoda.

Jaune: and.....?

Luke: I questioned if his heart was in it. And I presented him with a choice.

Jaune: and how old is this student?

Luke: past 50 years old....

Jaune: then it's just a baby!? What in the world are you thinking giving it a choice!?

Luke took a step back at the anger

Jaune: what did you ask?

Luke: if he would choose attachment and go back to his Mandalorian Caretaker or choose the Jedi Training to take control of his powers.

Jaune: great give a baby a decision that should be given to a mature mind.

You do know that the Jedi basically kidnaps children that exhibit force abilities.

Luke: I....I didn't know .....

Jaune: there's a lot of things the Council never tells. If your serious in doing right and rebuilding the order, I suggest you break away from their flawed ways and let the Force guide you to the right path.

Luke: I see...I have much to learn. I will take your advice and put it into practice.

Jaune: so where's this so called student of yours?

Luke: he......he ran away.

Jaune: that's to be expected. When you gave him a choice of his Parent and you.....even I would choose my parent. It was a no brainer.
