Looking on in quiet approval as Grogu settled in to his meditation, Obi-Wan eventually did the same. It might almost be comical for anyone to see a human Jedi Master sitting there next to such a tiny Padawan, meditating in silence.
Despite how it looked, he too was proud to have this opportunity to pass on his knowledge. Yet he also still struggled with feelings of unworthiness. He had let down his last student by failing to protect and prepare him for the assaults that came his way. A part of him feared doing the little one a similar injustice. Yet the Force had spoken to him and shown him its will. It had placed not only Grogu before him, but Cal and Ezra as well. All of them in need of his guidance in varying degrees.
Quietly he thought of Anakin, mourned the loss of his brother who had meant so much to him. Dare he think he could have that sort of connection with any of the young boys placed before him now? It remained to be seen. Nothing and no one could replace Anakin in his heart. He would always love him. Yet perhaps there could be such a place for each of them in his life as well. Perhaps they could be their own sort of family as the Jedi Order had been for him . For now, he simply released his sorrow into the Force and embraced the hope of better things to come.
As the quartermaster approached, Obi-Wan snapped out of his trance and looked over to Grogu. “It seems he’s ready for us.” He then held out his hands to his student, offering to carry him.
