But I Am Free

"The idea is pretty simple. All throughout the galaxy there are sites of historical value to the Jedi. Not just the New Jedi Order, but all Jedi. Some still have their own orders there, some have long been abandoned. But you, all of you Knights, whether recently knighted or not, are encouraged to seek them out. The Galaxy is a massive place. There are millions upon millions of cultures, beliefs, ideals. You won't see them all, but you certainly won't experience as many being here on Coruscant or stuck in Alliance space. We'll provide you with the funds you'd need to get from planet to planet, give you ships, and always give you support if you need it, but the idea is that you, all of you, chart your own course through the stars. Find your own path as a Jedi, and as a person."
Within the main chamber of the Coruscant Temple, Kahlil turned his gaze to all that had gathered. Council, Masters, Knights, Padawans, from the New Jedi Order and beyond had all been invited. The Second Great Hyperspace War was over, and already people had started to heal. But the Alliance weren't the only people in the Galaxy that needed the Jedi. The Shield smiled from where he stood, hands clasped behind his back, the ever patient expression he'd long gotten used to keeping breaking to something more human and kind.
"People have felt abandoned because of our focus on the War. People have felt alone because we've been here in the Alliance. I know this frustrates so many of you. So use this as a chance to do good. Remind people that the Jedi are not the peacekeepers of the Alliance, but of the Galaxy, no matter what temple we might call home or what Order we say we belong to. This is, of course, just the beginnings of the idea. All of you are invited to speak here and now, suggest your own ideas, your own destinations. Ask your questions, air your concerns. This is limited to you who've been Knighted, but I encourage any Padawans here who might have an idea or want clarification to speak up. If all goes well, you'll be going on this Pilgrimage yourself once you're Knighted. So, floors open."
