The fundamental lesson we explore in this work is that of working together. We have two headstrong people, both very capable, but unable to see the value in each other’s skills and therefore needlessly arguing, getting in the way of each other, and in some ways, unable to accomplish the mission. Because this is a book written for young readers, everything seems to come out alright in the end, but this is not often the reality we will come across as Jedi in the real world. Our actions or inactions will have consequences that will affect others.
As a Jedi, you have the opportunity to test out the lessons you are learning here in the relative safety of the Temple, but first, it’s important to look at what you do know. Write out as much as you can think of that comes to mind when you hear or see the words below:
