Marr nodded, feeling mildly pleased at Luke's response, enough for it to be felt as the faintest ripple of emotion. It has been so long since he had an apprentice, and he is not interested in having another. But he could teach Luke, help the young man explore all aspects of the Force.

"When we first spoke, you mentioned wanting to know what the Force really is... and it is very different from what the Jedi or the Sith think of it. That was what initially led me to suggest we meet in person, and it is also the reason I am willing to teach you. I will help you understand the truth of it, but more important, especially in the early stages of what I have to teach you, is for you to understand yourself. If you do not know yourself, you cannot reach your full potential, and you cannot truly know the Force."
