A series of tests proves that Anakin is capable of controlling both offspring , as the Father does , but Skywalker refuses to take the Father ' s place . " " Plot summary . From out of the blue , the Jedi receive a message transmission which includes a 2000 year overly long outdated Jedi distress code . Obi - Wan Kenobi , Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano are sent out to the Chrelythiumn system , where the call was picked up , to investigate . They are to rendezvous with a star cruiser commanded by Rex , but even though they are at the exact coordinates , they cannot perceive each other . Then communication and power is suddenly cut off , and an irresistible force pulls the Jedi ' s shuttle into a gigantic crystal - shaped structure . The next thing the three know , they are awakening within the cockpit of their shuttle which has inexorably settled down in an unfamiliar world . As they survey the landscape , which somehow is removed from the natural laws they are familiar with and strangely radiant with the Force , Anakin is suddenly addressed by a disembodied female voice which neither Obi - Wan nor Ahsoka are able to hear . The speaker shortly reveals herself , though , calling herself " Daughter " , asking Anakin repeatedly whether he is " the one " , and offering to take them to her " Father " . With little alternative , the Jedi take Daughter up on the offer . As they walk along a cliff path , a rock suddenly collapses in top of them , cutting Anakin and Daughter off from Ahsoka and Obi - Wan . Proclaiming that this was the work of her brother , Daughter asks Anakin to wait , but Anakin instead opts to follow her , sending Obi - Wan and his Padawan back to the ship and try to contact help . The two arrive at the landing site just as night falls , only to discover the shuttle gone ; they are immediately after met by Son , who asks Obi - Wan whether Anakin is really the Chosen One . With a storm coming , Son departs , and the Jedi are forced to seek shelter in order not to be struck down by lightning ; but from his shelter , Anakin spots the light of a monastery located on the high peak of a mountain . As soon as the storm has passed , Anakin hastens up to the monastery and enters a great hall in which he meets an old man meditating . The old man tells Anakin is to be tested to see whether he is fit to fulfill his destiny , and invites him to stay for the night . In the meantime , however , to his immense surprise Obi - Wan is met by the Force spirit of his late master , Qui - Gon Jinn , who tells him of the strange properties of the planet as a conduit for the Force and of its inhabitants ' intentions with Anakin , and warns him that the planet may corrupt Anakin if he is unable to attain balance within his soul . At the same time , Anakin is visited in his quarters by an apparition of his mother Shmi , and in his pain Anakin tells her about his past failures and the guilt which has built up in him . The apparition tells him that Anakin is torn because he has defined his own guilt over the massacre of the Sand People and his secret marriage to Padmé , and when he confronts her , she briefly assumes a monstrous appearance before disappearing . Ahsoka also receives a vision , this time from her future self , who warns her to remove herself from Anakin lest his tendency towards the Dark Side will eventually corrupt her as well . Anakin angrily confronts his host , demanding answers and believing him to be a Sith Lord . The old man introduces himself and his children as Force Wielders , beings so strong in the ways of the Force that they could not dwell in the material world anymore ; as a result , they retreated to this planet to contain their powers by attaining balance within and cutting off any influences from the outside world . He promises Anakin that he and his friends are free to leave this world once Anakin has undergone a test , for the old man to see whether he truly is the Chosen One and for Anakin to confront his own guilt . The next morning , Anakin undergoes his trial in the face of an impossible choice : Son and Daughter have kidnapped Ahsoka and Obi - Wan as they went looking for him , and Anakin has to choose which one he will save . Anakin uses the planet ' s Force - amplifying properties to force Son and Daughter to release their captives at the same time and return to their human forms . The old man tells Anakin that while he has passed the test , he must still learn about the true nature within himself and asks Anakin to take his place as the balancing element between his children , or otherwise endanger the galaxy with his selfishness if he leaves . Anakin chooses to leave , however , although he is strangely hesitant to do so . . . and the Imperial March plays as his ship leaves the planet .
