Why this must be read:

Because Death can go anywhere, even to a galaxy far, far away. Because one of the central tenets of Jedi belief is -...There is no death, there is the Force

And quite frankly they're wrong. There is Death. He's a tall skeleton, wears black, carries a scythe, rides a horse named Binky and talks LIKE THIS. In this story one of the unfortunate Jedi who perished on Geonosis has the opportunity to meet him personally.

"Er. Who are you?" said Gabri.

The skeleton looked at him with glowing eye-sockets. It seemed taken aback.

It was not a question Death had often encountered on his job. Usually, upon realising that they were dead and seeing a black-robed skeleton with a scythe, most people managed to make the correct inference. They considered the evidence, and made deductions. There wasn't a lot of things a skeleton with a scythe and black robes that popped up when you were dead could be, after all.

I AM DEATH, Death said carefully. THE GRIM REAPER. I . . . ASSIST PEOPLE IN THEIR JOURNEY FROM THE REALM OF THE LIVING. YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF ME?

He held up the scythe helpfully.

"There is no death," said Gabri mechanically, as if reciting something learnt by rote, "there is only the Force."

Only the Force, they said
