Summary: 32 BBY | 968 ARR | first meetings
genesis /ˈʤɛnəsəs/ — n. the origin or mode of formation of something
Skywalker and the Jedi, in the beginning.
1 (kismet): the meeting on Tatooine.

Notes: Pro-Jedi sentiment, Jedi as culture.

While I don't think the Jedi handle Anakin's situation terribly well, I reject the idea that Anakin sees the Order as another form of slavery. Pardon my opinion, but if Anakin can leave without a bomb detonating inside of him, he thinks he's free. Poor boy doesn't have high standards.

I also think Anakin is actually free while in the Order, but for more reasons than that.
