I'd prefer to strengthen our social bonds with our fellow Jedi so we don't have to rely on Palpatine as much.

Oh, Palpatine already has the red robes. Interesting.

I must admit its very interesting watching the better parts of legends and discanon meld together like this into a more cohesive whole. The benefit of there being two expansive versions of the same property, I suppose. Also it makes it harder to guess what'll happen, which I personally like.

I like the friendly, chatty Anakin we're developing here. Not devoid of his darker impulses, but less broody overall. Or maybe those are lurking in a dark alley, waiting for us to hit puberty.

He looks pleased that you thought to ask. "Her name is Sistros, first of the Four Sages of Dwartii. She and her fellow Sages laid down some of the founding laws of the Republic. At a time when the galaxy had fallen into chaos, they moved swiftly and decisively to take command. With Sistros at their head, the Sages rose above a mob of conflicting voices and brought about a new golden age."
She's 100% a Darksider.

"To thank you and to reward you," he says. You open your mouth to protest that you didn't do it for a reward, but the Chancellor holds up a hand. "Not with worldly goods. I know the Jedi eschew such things, and I would never think to diminish your actions with a price tag. No, I have always found that the far greater gift is knowledge. So, first, a piece of advice: always remember, as the Four Sages did long ago, that you have the power to change the galaxy."

You already knew this, of course—on some level, you have always known. But Palpatine is the first person you have met since you left your mother to acknowledge it…and even to affirm it.


Deep down, you suspect that "you have the power to change the galaxy" is not a sentence you will ever hear spoken in the halls of the Jedi Temple.
Palpatine is inflating Anakin's ego and confidence, he's good at what he does.

"I've consulted the Council," he tells you, "and they've agreed that you're ready to join the Gathering. It's time for you to construct a lightsaber."
Lightsabers are really cool and a very personal thing.

Palps is at his strongest when he's buttering people, especially Anakin, up. If he's the devil of the Star Wars galaxy, he's the Al Pacino version whose favorite sin is vanity. Unfortunately that means he's tailor-made to manipulate someone of our age, ability, and circumstances.

I don't want Anakin to just be chatterbox. Let's do a bit more Jedi stuff, yeah?

In a way it's also tangentially related to strengthening Anakin's bonds with them, who knows what insights it'd provide him when it comes to his friends?
