...Ah. Even a Jedi Master who concerned himself with the future even less than Qui-Gon, who was notorious for paying little attention to it, would have felt those words like a solid punch to the gut. Different times, indeed, and what had gone wrong? Wrong enough to kill the whole Order (younglings included? surely not, surely they'd simply been returned to their families and allowed to forget) because that was the only reason to think there was only one Jedi left. There was no calamity that Master Qui-Gon Jinn could conceive of that would leave Jedi alive and unwilling to act openly.

A terrible future, and likely he'd missed it twice - once being caught in it in the first place, and again on being brought to the Inn. In that light, it was an absolute duty to mind the present. This present. "I believe I'm from some distance in your past, then. The Jedi Order is a substantial group, last I knew."
