Why this must be read:
A quiet and contemplative, amusing and heartfelt coda to the the Star Wars prequels; an oft-repeated subject of how Obi-Wan meets with Qui-Gon on his vigil of Tatooine. Here, it is the uncommon treatment of Obi-Wan's shock and disbelief at Qui-Gon that sets it apart. In life and afterlife Qui-Gon always seems to shock and love Obi-Wan while oblivious to the aftereffects. Obi-Wan's grief and joy are piercing and true:
"I have no idea why this isn't working," Obi-Wan said aloud, looking up at his master and laughing a little in a distant sort of way. He gestured vaguely at the generator. "Anakin could have fixed it in no time, of course. Tell me I was hopeless with machines. that I was better off... with..." Obi-Wan simply stopped talking, and put his face in his hand.
...while the ending leads perfectly into the rising hope, the new hope of the next generation.
