Well, I figure I owe you an explanation for that. It's something a few people know, I just hadn't found a way to tell you. Lupin only found out because of that Shift, and frankly he got a lot of things mixed up.
[Luke leans back and looks at the ceiling, letting out a long sigh]
For a brief period about three years ago, I had a flicker of doubt in a moment of crisis. Palpatine hadn't been as dead as we'd hoped, having somehow transferred his consciousness into a clone body. He took me off guard, and I was forced to become his apprentice after he defeated me. I learned a great many of his secrets, both of the Dark Side and the Light Side, and ultimately with Leia's help I broke free of his influence.
[Luke shakes his head, running his cybernetic hand along the side of the chair]
Han killed him, finally. I took a year long hiatus to meditate, and with Kyle and Mara's help, as well as a little bit of guidance from Master Vodo-Baas's holocron I managed to undo what he'd done. It wasn't easy, and I probably should've said something sooner, given that Lupin and Ami both knew.
