Getting over my first hurtle and trials of the Jedi were some what simple. I have learned the skill of Meditation and how to speak with the Force and listen to what it had to say. I have learned to create a ball of energy like a light with the Force to help me in the darkness. I have learned how to listen to the Force and listen for disturbances, ripples in the Force. And I have learned the first steps of Lightsaber Combat which will help me defeat the enemies of the Republic and Jedi Order. My training is not complete but the first trial is done with.

I was getting frustrated at learning this form of lightsaber combat, but I couldnt give up. I decided to stop and take a break and meditate. I sat down on the ground and breathed in slowly calming my mind. I had to be at peace for learning new powers. This was also a good way for me to focus and be ready to practice the lightsaber combat moves. I breathed in and out calming my mind and body. Taking in the Force around me to help aid me in my concentration.

Once I was calm and at peace in my mind and body I was ready to get up and practice the lightsaber moves. I practice moving the broken vibro blade for the blocks and attacks. I moved the blade swiftly and steady knowing instead of thinking of the next move. It almost seemed like it cam natural to me as I moved the blade from attack to defend. I then added jumps and flips along with other foot work with the combat style to add a level of difficulty to my training.

One of the important symbols of being a Jedi was the Lightsaber. The lightsaber is the weapon of a Jedi, it is the heart and soul of the Jedi. My mentor also a Jedi gave me a data pad which had the instructions on how to build the lightsaber. It was his last gift to me before he died of old age. He was a great mentor and a great friend. Also the Queen of Naboo before leaving for the temple gave me some of the parts that I needed to construct my lightsaber. I knew that this would be a challenging work and it would really show and prove myself worthy of being called a Jedi.

I walked to a room in the temple where I believe Jedi would construct there lightsabers. It had some rubble but for the most part it was still intact. Though some of the things in the room were stolen by looters. I had some of the parts needed and so I pulled out the data pad and went up to the work bench. The data pad had a list of what I would need to build my lightsaber. I looked over the list and made a mental note of what I had. " Alright I have the lightsaber crystal and a power cell along with the lens and some scrap metal.

I still needed some more parts so I packed up everything in my backpack and walked out of the temple heading into the shopping district of Coruscant. I walked inside the shop that sold special electronic parts. Hoping that the Force would be on my side I went inside the shop and a human male greeted me. " Welcome, welcome....What can I do for you today?" The human asked me. " I need two cycling field energizers, a power field conductor energy modulation circuits, and two energy gates." I explained to the human. He nodded and went through his own personal collection of items and pulled out what I needed. " Its strange that you ask for these things." He said. " Why's that?" I asked. " Because those are components to build a lightsaber, all you need is a lens some metal, a crystal and a power cell. Curious....anyway these parts are going to be five hundred credits." he said.

I handed him the credits and I took my parts and put them into my back pack. I headed back to the temple where I would complete my lightsaber. I now had the parts that I needed thanks to that strange human in the shop. I wonder if he knew that I was a Jedi. With the bounty on our heads by the Empire I hope not. I didn't want to attract any unwanted attention. I wanted to stay in hiding till I was strong enough to handle myself. I needed more training and time before I was ready. Perhaps when I become a Jedi Knight I will be ready. I knew it was just a matter of time before I become a Jedi Knight.

I walked back into the chamber that I was in before and I went up to the workbench and I found some more scrap metal in a drawer. " That will come in handy I'm sure." I said out loud to myself. I could hear the wind blowing through the cracks of the temple, it was giving me the creeps as I pulled out my parts and placed them on the work bench. Inside another drawer I found a set of old tools that I could use in my construction.

I started with putting putting some of the scrap metal together to make the handgrip, I molded the metal together making using the tools and welded the pieces together. I attached in the power field conductor and once that was in place I could put int my power cell. The power cell was small and cold. I read the directions on the data pad on what to do next. I continued working on the hand grip making sure it was perfect and comfortable because I could be using it often. I worked on the power button that I would press to turn the lightsaber on.

Making sure all the components went in correctly and that everything was done as the directions say. I made sure that I didn't do anything without first checking the directions that my mentor left me. He took the time to fill it out, so I must take the time to read it and do it properly so that he would be proud of me and the work that I have done. This could be a way that I could honor him and show that I have what it takes to be a Jedi Knight.

I continued working on my saber, now working on the crystal chamber. The place that the lightsaber crystal would go. I had a normal crystal but it was imbued with the Force so it would be attuned to me and would only work for me. I wanted this saber to be special and it has a part of me that will be around forever. I put in the energy gate and the crystal mounting parts. Making sure the crystal was secure in place and hooked up to the powercell.

I started to work on the hilt part of the saber, placing in cycling field energizers and making sure they were in place. The directions were like stereo instructions and read kinda hard but I was able to follow them with minimal difficulty. I now worked on the wiring and the circuit system on the saber. Making sure the wiring was hooked up and the red and black wirings didn't go into the wrong place or my saber could short circuit and not work.

I made sure I followed the directions on the wiring and where to put them and stuff so I wouldn't mess up my lightsaber. I worked on the settings of the blade and made sure the wiring was hooked up to that right. The setting aloud me to change the length of the blade and its power. It was very important that I got the wiring correct on that.

Now I was getting close to finishing my lightsaber so now I worked on the hilt and the lens for the emitter which the lightsaber beam would shoot out of. The emitter lens was very important and I had to set that just right. It took my time and made sure that it was set in place just right, I had to adjust it several times before I was satisfied with how it was set.

I finished up the metal workings of the hilt before I knew it the saber was complete. Well the hard part was complete. I still had to cover the interworkings of the saber and that was easy. I just took some scrap metal and welded it shut covering it with a neat and custom look and feel. My lightsaber was a thing of beauty. I then started to polish the metal to make it shine.

Once I was completely finished with the blade I switched it one and a blue beam shot out of the emitter lens and brought a bright blue glow in the room I was in. The hum echoed in the room and through the halls. I started to wonder how long it has been since a Jedi or a lightsaber has been in the old Jedi Temple. I had a symbol of hope and trust and respect. It was a symbol of a Jedi.
