Yoda and Garro near the heart of the mountain and Yoda confirms that it indeed is alive, although barely. The jedi and his young master meditate and commune with the mountain for days and eventually hear it's voice. It was once a giant amongst others of it's kind until people butchered them all out of greed for power. Now only one remains. As it heals, Yoda and Garro make there way back to the rockhawkers with the mountain's secret.
When they near, the group of children ask what that secret is. Yoda won't tell them as they've not shown themselves worthy, but Garro foolishly blurts it out disobeying the jedi. Promising to tell them more if they let Yoda go, the group frees him and walks away as he "so ends" Yoda's training. Yoda returns to the others and prepares them for war - a war like none of them have ever known. While he trains them to commune peacefully, the Rockhawkers feed the mountain with the dark side. Yoda sets out to speak with the now hulking beast. He tells it that they've only made it's suffering worse.
Standing in front of it, he tells the mountain it shall not pass.
Back where the Rockhawkers kneel in meditation, they speak the words that are coming out of the mountain but they can't overpower Yoda. They all ask each other who taught him their ways and Garro sheepishly replies "A coward most likely. A coward and a fool..." Back onboard his X-Wing, Luke puts down Obi Wan's journal and sees the Vagadarr system. Piloting through the asteroid field and flies low over the planet's surface. Seeing a gigantic stone hand, he lands. Realizing he should have read all of Yoda's tale, a small figure walks up telling the young jedi he always knew there would be another. Standing there before him is a very aged Garro, the last of the rockhawkers. He tells Luke that he's going to help him finish this war and with that, we're left to be continued.
I always get kind of annoyed when a book like Deadpool jumps around in time for no real reason, but when it comes to Star Wars, we're kind of accustomed to it. The middle trilogy coming out decades before the first one and so on, this is almost how the story is supposed to be told. They pop in and out of Obi-Wan's journals and it's always interesting. Jason Aaron does another good job here and I'm glad he's still going at full speed. I give this one a 10/10.
