Force Ghost Cody: Why are we looking for Initiate Grogu in a cave full of armored idiots?
Force Ghost Obi-Wan: Luke said he gave the baby back to his Buir, who promptly wandered off to find them in a cave. I think the armorer is force sensitive enough to see us so we could ask her to talk to Din about continuing his meditation training.
FG Cody: Yes, because an initiate without meditation might end up just as bad as Anakin.
FG Obi-Wan: Calm down, you know you love my idiot too.
FG Cody: Shut your whore mouth, General.
Armorer: 0.0??? Oh hello, are you two searching for the light sword??
FG Obi-Wan: Actually, we’re looking for initiate Grogu-
Armorer: Foundling Grogu.
FG Obi-Wan: …foundling Grogu-
Armorer: My bu’ad. Whom you cannot have.
FG Obi-Wan: …
FG Cody: *giggling*
FG Obi-Wan: Sorry, you misunderstand. My nephew, Luke Skywalker, did him a great disservice by letting him leave without promise of mental health help. I get that’s a big part of what you do for your covert, but the issue is, for his peace of mind, he needs regular meditation and reassurance in the force.
Armorer: And you are here to give that?
FG Obi-Wan: Sure. Little Grogu was always one of my favorite kiddos in the temple, from the moment I found his egg in that dumpster when I was thirteen.
FG Cody: I’m sorry you found that baby troll’s egg in a dumpster? What did it call to you in the force?
FG Obi-Wan: Well. I mean. I got tossed in the dumpster and then I saw the egg and grabbed it and felt a life force in it-
FG Cody: You we’re gonna eat the egg before you realized it was fertilized, weren’t you?
FG Obi-Wan: Obviously. I was a bit feral at that age and alone on a mission. It was massive!
Armorer: Hmmm. I like you two. You will join me and foundling Grogu in the mornings for meditation.
FG Obi-Wan: Awesome. Sorry for just intruding on your forge like this and all-
Armorer: No, it is an acceptable reason, to honor the foundlings.
FG Cody: I like you, you’re a bit more stable than the shiny silver one that doesn’t have much thought behind his eyes.
Armorer: Thank you. I have suffered to get him to think for most of his life now. I think this is as good as that will get.
FG Cody: God that’s such a mood. I could tell you stories about getting Ben and the 212th to do what they need to for basic survival. It’s wild.

Summary:
Grim Kennet takes Luke Skywalker to visit Master Yoda on his deathbed
...
“You often talk about the Jedi of old as your family,” said Luke.
They had reached Yoda’s hut. Grim looked back at Luke, his padawan braid rested on his shoulder and his blue eyes (so much like his father’s) met her’s. “They were,” she told him. “We all were.”
Landing on Dagobah, Grim felt her heart sink. Even from getting out of her X-Wing she could feel Yoda dying. She turned her head to look at Luke, a small sad smile crossed her face. In his pure black outfit he looked so much like his father. Although, after training him for four years she knew Luke was his own man. “Come on, Padawan, let’s say goodbye to Master Yoda,” she told him at last.
“Tell him goodbye?” Luke asked as he followed Grim to Yoda’s hut.
“He’s dying, I can feel it from here,” she closed her eyes and stopped walking for a moment. Grim reached out in the Force and felt Yoda’s presence. Before, in The Clone Wars he had felt like a warm star, now as he was dying she could feel that warm, bright and gentle light fading and it was flickering still.
Luke seemed to understand what she was talking about. He cared about Yoda, but he hadn’t known him long. Only two weeks, and when he looked and saw Grim’s face it was filled with tears. She seemed to be holding them back. Luke had to remind himself that she had been Ben’s padawan after his father, so of course it was likely she had known Yoda too.
As they walked to the hut Luke finally asked, “did you know Master Yoda?”
“Yes,” she replied. “Master Yoda was the grandmaster of the Jedi Order, every Jedi who lived in the time of the Order had met Yoda. In the end, when the Jedi were killed it was only Master Yoda, Master Kenobi, and I,��� she explained. “Many Jedi also went to him for advice and I was among them, I know Yoda. He’s like my grandfather.”
“You often talk about the Jedi of old as your family,” said Luke.
They had reached Yoda’s hut. Grim looked back at Luke, his padawan braid rested on his shoulder and his blue eyes (so much like his father’s) met her’s. “They were,” she told him. “We all were.”
They entered the hut.
Yoda looked up at them. His eyes fell upon Grim first. “Master Kennet, a surprise this is,” he told her. “Know that dying I am, why visit do you?”
“Can I not wish to see a dying friend on his deathbed?” Grim asked him.
Yoda gave her a warm gentle smile, “seeing you again, warm feelings it brings my heart. Not seen you since knighted you I did.”
“I never had the chance to visit you before, not without risking the Empire. I thought you could use some Jedi company.” Grim told him.
Yoda saw Luke, “brought your padawan you did,” he noticed.
“He was supposed to be here. I’m done with writing other people's stories. The only story I now write is my own, but by telling the twins about their parentage he wouldn’t be here.”
“Told the twins you did?!” Yoda asked, shocked. “A secret their relations to Lord Vader was supposed to be!”
“Skywalker told Luke first,” Grim replied defensively.
“Knows Vader does?”
“How many Skywalkers do you know, Master Yoda? It wasn’t hard for Vaderkin to find out about Luke, Skywalker doesn’t know about Leia but I decided to tell the twins they were twins anyways,” Grim explained. “But I didn’t come here to talk about Skywalker family secrets, and you’re dying.”
“Yes, dying I am, and rest now I should,” Yoda agreed.
Grim and Luke watched Yoda lay down on his bed and followed him to his bedside. Grim helped tuck Yoda into bed, with his Jedi cloak as a blanket. “Thank you,” he said to both of the Jedi. “When gone I am, the last of the Jedi, the two of you will be,” he said. “Carry on what learn you have, pass it down you must. Live on, the Jedi will.”
“As long as there’s light,” agreed Grim.
Yoda smiled softly. “Proud I am. Wonderful Jedi you have become, Master Kennet, Padawan Skywalker.”
Grim and Luke held a sad smile.
“Almost done your training is Young Skywalker,” Yoda told Luke. “Confront Vader you must, then a Knight you will be, agree your Master will.”
“I do,” said Grim. “Master Yoda, when I knight Luke, will that mean…?”
“A Jedi Master you would become,” Yoda told her. “The future of the Jedi, the two of you are.”
With that Yoda closed his eyes and faded into the Force.
The tears that Grim had been holding spilled. “Goodbye Master Yoda,” she sobbed.
Luke wrapped an arm around her shoulders, in a comforting gesture. “It will be okay, Master,” he told her. “We need to get back to the Rebellion.”
Grim nodded. “Yes, we should.” she agreed. “Master Yoda is one with the Force now.”
The two of them left Yoda’s hut. They headed back to their X-Wings where Artoo was waiting on Luke. Grim’s astromech was waiting for her as well. That was when the two Jedi felt a presence behind them. Grim turned around so suddenly that Luke was worried what they had sensed was a threat for a moment before he saw who Grim did. The ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
“Obi-Wan,” said Grim in a hushed surprise. She hadn’t seen her Master since she left Tatooine nearly twenty years ago.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Luke asked Obi-Wan. “You told me Vader betrayed and murdered my father.”
“Your father was seduced by the dark side of the Force,” Obi-Wan told him.
“I know that now, Master Kennet already told me the truth,” Luke told him. “So why did you lie?”
“What I told you was true, from a certain point of view.”
“A certain point of view? Are you kidding me, Kenobi?” Grim asked, crossing her arms.
“Grim, you know that a great many things that we know depend greatly on our own point of view,” he replied sitting down.
She felt like a padawan again. “I know that, Master, of course I do.”
Luke sat down next to Obi-Wan and Grim sat at Obi-Wan’s other side. “Then you should know the point of view I told Luke was correct about his father.”
“The point of view you told Luke is the same point of view Vaderkin shared for twenty years until discovering his children survived,” Grim told Obi-Wan.
“It was the point of view Vader told me, as before then I believed I was the one who murdered Anakin Skywalker,” Obi-Wan told her. “And you can’t claim you also did not believe in a point of view where Anakin was dead, you knew before everyone else did that he had fallen.”
“In The Clone Wars I saw Anakin Skywalker as dead, I told him as much myself the day before he fell for good. Afterwards though? He is undeniably Anakin, Vader and Anakin can not be separated as much as we want to do so. He is the same man, and his path started when we knew him by Anakin, he was Vader even then.”
“There is still good in him,” Luke told the two older Jedi.
Grim shook her head, “I’d like to believe that as true, Luke, I really would, but the man you want your father to be never existed.”
“He is more machine now than man,” Obi-Wan told Luke.
“And why is that?” Grim asked Obi-Wan. “You can not blame that on Anakin alone, surely? We’re both partly at fault for that suit he wears now.”
“Anakin made his own choices.”
“And so did we.”
“I can not kill him, Ben,” Luke told Obi-Wan.
“You can not escape your own destiny,” replied Obi-Wan.
“There is no destiny,” said Grim.
“Then what reasons do I have to kill my father?”
“Only the reasons that you can find your heart,” replied Grim.
“And what reasons would that be?” Luke asked.
“That is something you must figure out on your own, my young padawan.”
“But you know them.”
“I do, but they are worth nothing if you don’t discover it on your own.”
“I can’t kill my own father.”
“Then the Emperor has already won,” said Obi-Wan.
“Listen Luke, I understand the feeling,” Grim told him. “Your father was like a brother to me, I didn’t think I could kill him either.”
“What happened to change that?” Luke asked.
“I saw the rubble of the Jedi Temple and the corpses Anakin had left behind.”
“That’s horrible.”
“Yes, but that is what your father does.”
“...that’s why I have to face him,” realized Luke. “He could do more awful things following the Emperor.”
“You said face, no Luke you don’t understand what we’re trying to tell you.”
“I refuse to kill my father.” Luke got up and marched back to his X-Wing.
Grim got up to go after him but Obi-Wan put a hand on her shoulder, stopping her. It felt strange to have the hand of a ghost on her shoulder but it wasn’t cold like she had expected.
“Let him go, Grim. Sometimes we have to allow our padawans to make their mistakes,” he told her.
She chuckled and smiled a little. “Even when the padawan is a Skywalker?”
Obi-Wan shook his head, not finding the joke as amusing. He looked at her seriously. “Even a Skywalker.”
“It’s good to see you again, dad,” said Grim smiling.
“Yes. Well, there is a rebellion that needs you, and I have a feeling your padawan won’t be your padawan much longer.”
She looked at the sky. “No, he won’t be.” A moment of silence fell between the ghost and his former padawan. “When you knew Anakin was going to be knighted, or when you knew I was, how did you feel, and how did you know it was time?”
“I was afraid for my padawan, whoever it was at the time, but also very proud of them for the Jedi they had become,” Obi-Wan told her. “As to when I knew it was time? Well, my padawans had both lost an arm to a Sith Lord in battle, but they had both accomplished amazing things throughout their time as my padawans.”
“Oh if losing a limb to a Sith Lord is part of the criteria then I should’ve knighted Luke last year,” she joked.
“Losing a limb to a Sith Lord on account of explicitly ignoring their Master’s directions to not fight the Sith Lord on their own,” Obi-Wan corrected.
“You and Yoda told my padawan not to fight Vader,” shrugged Grim.
“Luke isn’t either of our padawans, he’s yours.”
“Speaking of, did you really die and make me train a Skywalker?”
“Vader killed me, it's not like I had a choice.”
“Bitch I’ve seen the movie the lightsaber didn’t even touch you.”
“From a certain point of view.”
“Kenobi!”
Obi-Wan laughed, and Grim couldn’t help but laugh too. Yoda’s ghost faded next to them.
“About what, laughing are you?” Yoda asked.
“Master Kenobi making me train a Skywalker,” replied Grim.
“A task you undertook very well, Master Kennet,” Yoda told her.
“Thank you Master Yoda,” said Grim. “Thank both of you for being my family.” The ghosts smiled at the living Jedi. “Well, I should go. I have a rebellion to help and Sith Lords to defeat.”
“You never really change, do you Grim?” Obi-Wan asked her.
Grim got in her ship, and gave him a lazy salute, a grin on her face as if she was fourteen and a padawan again. “Nope!”
With that Grim flew away to meet with the Rebellion so she could find a role in the Battle Of Endor.
