In the mode I penned this little exposition scene which could be dropped into TPM.

Ancient Jedi : "Try to keep up!"

Youngling : " Sorry but this floor is slippery, is it new?"

Ancient Jedi: "New? This temple was ancient when the Republic was young" (The Youngling is clearly confused) "It's very, very old"

Youngling : "Older than you?"

Ancient Jedi : "Considerably"

Youngling : " but it's not worn down"

Ancient Jedi : "I wish I could say the same for myself. Do you mind if I sit for a bit, I shouldn't really...?"

Youngling : "I won't tell"

Ancient Jedi : "They built things to last, The Sith" (The Youngling is confused again) "This was their stronghold, their fortress, for a thousand generations the Jedi have occupied this place but for a thousand generations before that this was theirs and the entire galaxy with it. A terrible place of evil, pain and death, it's said to be haunted."

Youngling : "I don't believe in phantoms."

Ancient Jedi : "Good for you, neither do I, I think...."

Youngling : "Why do the Jedi live here if it's so bad, not that I'm scared."

Ancient Jedi: "Conquest is won through confrontation, that's what the Sith believed and that's what we believe too. To conquer fear you must confront it."

Youngling : "Feeling better?"

Ancient Jedi : (getting back to his feet and continuing down the corridor) : " That was your first lesson by the way, not that you even noticed and how do you feel?"

JEDI COUNCIL CHAMBER EVENING :

Anakin Skywalker : "Cold Sir...."
