Chapter 14 of Star Wars: Dark Force Rising (1992) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn.
The Story So Far
“Not the last of the old Jedi, Luke. The first of the new.”
Luke Skywalker is overwhelmed and nonplussed about the role thrust upon him. He lacks the confidence to teach his sister and her unborn twins. During an engagement over Nkllon with a Imperial raiding party, his mind is touched by a mysterious Jedi claiming that “the Jedi will rise again”.
Following the voice to Jormark, Luke runs afoul further Imperial entanglement, causing major delays in his quest to seek out this mysterious Jedi Master. After almost a complete reset back to Coruscant where he learns a little of Jorus C’baoth, Luke accompanies Han Solo and Lando Calrissian to New Cov, where he is called upon in a tapcafe to arbitrate a dispute that Luke feels unqualified to have offered his judgement on. Imperial activity in the sector separates Luke from Han and Lando and forces them to flee the planet. Unhindered by alternative obligations, Luke makes the jump to Jormark.
Little does Luke know that he is not going to meet the true C’baoth, but a clone that has been in an unstable alliance with the Imperial Remnants. This C’baoth has shown himself to be wayward to the demands of the Empire and harbours a desire to mould the Skywalkers to some other nefarious purpose.
Chapter 14
Luke arrives to Jormark, and follows his intuition to C’baoth’s castle. The Jedi Master is authoritative but not at all what Luke expects. C’baoth wastes no time in beginning his tutorship with Luke. Leaving R2-D2 with the X-Wing, they travel to the village at the foot of the hill.
Within one of the houses, they sense a disturbance and enter to intervene. C’baoth’s decree is swift and decisive. Luke — taken aback by the lack of nuance — leaves open an opportunity for the convicted to dive for a weapon. Before Luke can react, C’baoth unleashes cascades of Force Lightning, subduing the aggressor and — in his own words — leaving a lasting lesson.
At the end of the day, Luke goes outside to confide in R2 that, while he needs instruction, he has doubts about the elderly Jedi Master’s sanity.
