Why this must be read:

Journey's End is one of those stories I'm a sucker for: quiet, slightly disjointed, and ultimately more complex than they look. This is a simple story of Obi-Wan and all the little moments that matter.

The Force does not let Jedi slip away. At that time, Obi-Wan had imagined death as an ending: stark, brutish, cold, absolute, and most definitely the province of the Dark Side.

Death is not an ending. Eons worth of Jedi swirl in blue clouds, losing their identity bit by bit; when Qui-Gon visits the living Obi-Wan, a vague but lively creature visits with him, tagging along at his heels. When Obi-Wan is finally allowed to join him because his work for Luke is done, he finds that death is more like song than stone.

Time does not pass here. Anakin joins them, and Luke, and Luke's son, and… Obi-Wan loses track.
