Obi wan saw Vader's slash coming, and with all he had in him he sent a blast in the force to Luke "Run Luke, Run"

Then everything went dark.

Obi wan stood in the sunshine on a lawn of green grass. Everything was so vibrant, it almost made the galaxy look dull. He stroked his beard out of habit and realized it was thick again. He was suddenly aware of a man standing in front of him. Bail Organa.

"Bail, where are we?" asked Obi wan.

"Welcome to the Valley of the Force, Obi wan." said Bail.

"What is the Valley of the Force?" asked Obi wan.    

"Well you're the Jedi Master, but I'll explain" said Bail.

"The Valley is where every living thing ends up after death. People, animals, and plants all end up here, and everything that comes here is returned to its prime. No older folks here.  No one can die here, but you can get seriously injured, so be careful." explained Bail with a wink. "No crashing speeders."

Obi Wans shook his head. "I shall never live that down."

Bail shook his head with a twinkle in his eye.

"By the way, the Jedi Code does not apply here" said Bail seriously.
    "Attachment and Friends are allowed, especially because you're here for eternity "  

Of course. If Anakin were here he would have no problem. Hopefully it will be easier to unlearn the Code, rather than learn it.

"Bail, I'm really glad to see you! I'm sorry about Alderaan. Leia is okay, she is with Luke. I don't know if she knows yet." said Obi wan.

"Well, at least Leia got away. Hopefully, she and Luke will save the galaxy. I just feel like it's such a large burden to put on the shoulders of two kids." said Bail.

"I know, but we must have faith. Luke and Leia are good kids. May the Force be with them." said Obi wan.

"Here, let me take you to where you can get settled in." said Bail.

Bail lead Obi wan out of the clearing where he had appeared, to the inhabited part of the Valley. It was very much like the planet Coruscant, except much more green and luscious. There were big buildings and small ones, with lots of vegetation, probably because of all the Force energy. 

"Let me give you the grand tour! Then we can get you settled in." said Bail.

I have to ask, to say. It will be awkward but here goes:

"Bail, I've never, that is, um. I've never lived alone. I always lived in the temple, ever since I was a baby." admitted Obi wan.

"Oh, don't worry about that. We can put you in an skyrise apartment building. You can have your own apartment, but eat with all the people in the building-your neighbors." said Bail. "It will be kind of like the Temple, except not everyone is a Jedi."                                                     

Bail began to give Obi wan the grand tour. They went by the gymnasium, bank, numerous shops, the grocery store, restaurants, hospital, and court (usually unneeded, but good to have).

After they were done with the tour, Bail took Obi wan to the Registration Center for housing and to give him an official introduction and integration. When they went into the Entrance Hall of the Registration Center, they went to the desk. The woman at the desk gave Obi wan a shock when he saw her. He should have been expecting to see her, she was dead and he had seen it. It was Padme Amidala!
