The entire flight back to the farm, Luke's bad feeling only grew. With the smoke rising on the horizon, it intensified, and he knew without a doubt that he was too late.

Yet he hoped. He felt he could not, would not give up on his aunt and uncle until he could see the truth.

When he did see, there was grief, staring at the body so near the home. He felt a flash of anger in with the grief, but anger would get him nowhere.

All he could do was turn the speeder back to where Obi-Wan Kenobi waited.
