I imagine they'd be old things and nothing special.

[ Though Luke's Jedi education is still a strange thing to him. How little he had done and what happened that made Obi-Wan direct Luke to Yoda? ]

I think I knew a Ben, a clone.

[ But there were so many. It gets hard to keep track of the ones that are alive and the ones long gone.

He's quiet for a moment then he spills it, that dull ache in his chest. ]

Rex. That's who I miss.

. . . I'm sure no matter where he is, Rex can take care of himself. He's done it before.

[ Though the fate of the clones hangs over their heads. No point in bringing it up. He runs a hand through his beard, before admitting whom he misses. ]

For all of Yoda's cryptic wisdom, I do feel I could use it right now.

[ He almost rolls his eyes, sighs and shakes his head at the same time. He'd do all those things if there wasn't a wrench in his hand that takes away all the need to. ]

It's not really about that. Rex's a good person to talk to. I miss his company, that's all. You couldn't talk to Master Yoda the same way you could talk to Rex. [ He adds, quickly and under his breath: ] ... At least I can't.

[ Ah. He nods calmly. It is difficult for Anakin to talk to any of the Masters, for obvious reasons. ]

I do wonder how the clones are doing.

Well, Rex might be doing better at not losing at Sabacc. Statistically speaking, of course.

[ He gives Obi-Wan a sheepish look then laughs. He'd add that he hasn't been gambling a little with the Clones, on their off hours but what's the point. It's only a bit of fun. ]

[ He's hardly going to make a big deal out of it. A small sign that he's mellowed a little. Or learned to pick his battles. ]

I'm sure he'll pass on his techniques to the new recruits.
