“I saw the treaty ceremony.” Qui-Gon’s voice was low, contemplative. “As vividly as though I were there, or more so. Yet there were surreal elements—screaming, blood. A vision of my lightsaber, brought up as though to block an attack. But maybe it was the treaty itself I was meant to be blocking.” Obi-Wan worded his response carefully. “That does sound rather…symbolic.” Surely that was safe to say. Many dreams were symbolic.
