( This video shows a table covered in page after page of...notes? Some of them are written in completely alien languages. Even the letters are strange and ornate - almost like forms of calligraphy. Padmé is sitting before said notes, a pen in hand and her hair unbound around her shoulders and down her back. )

It's of great importance to leave records of our time in this village. I have written what I know in as many languages as I recall. I wish I could leave a more lasting transmission, but I do not wish to burden a droid. Should he have a chance to return to his home, I want him to do so without hesitation.

( If she gives R2D2 a video to keep, he might refuse to leave - if that's at all possible. She doesn't want him leaving Luke's side. )

This is, of course, merely preparation for when my time to return comes. Leaving things to the last minute is not proper.

( She rises and organizes the papers. )

I encourage everyone to do likewise. The information you can offer others - even after your time - is invaluable.

I do not believe it will. In truth, I believe that Palpatine's takeover was inevitable, but not Anakin's fall. I'm aware of the prophecy surrounding the Skywalker family. That he will bring balance to the Force. Some have said, however, that he brought balance to the Force through me. Though personally, I've never really put much faith in such things.

[Luke smiles now, more genuinely than before.]

I feel that if there's a chance, then we should take it. It may sound arrogant of me, but altering the history of the Galaxy and putting it on a different path may be the reason we were brought to this place.

You have a slightly more level-head on your shoulders - when you're not working on machines. ( She weakly returns his smile, shaking her head. ) If that is indeed the case then let's use it to our advantage and keep Anakin safe.

I will give him space, but I don't want him to imagine I'm leaving him.

[He snorts a laugh, but nods.]

I'm sure he'll return when he's ready. I don't want to force company on him when he doesn't want it. He will be back, of that I have no doubt. His tools are here, Artoo is here, and you're here.

[And with that matter seemingly settled, Luke picks up the silver cube.]

Do you know what this is, mother?

He wouldn't be fit for company if he were in a bad mood. ( She softens and reaches out to squeeze Luke's arm. ) You're here too. He will come back.

( Her eyes narrow as she focuses on the cube. )

No, I don't think so?

It's called a Holocron. A Jedi artifact used to store whole libraries of information.

[He presses a small circular panel on the side, and it begins to spool up.]

The Malnosso gave me a blank one the previous...Life Day. Christmas. The winter holiday.
