Thank you for the book information. That sounds like a good set of skills to gain to be successful at being a Jedi. Just curious Why did you change your name from dcrobinson to Sifer Verlust? Is there a significance to the new name?

[Sifer Verlust]

That's my Jedi name, that's all. When I was a Sith I was called Darth Nemesis.

[Mrs. Darth Vader]

Oh, that name sounds familiar. I am not sure where I heard that name but maybe our paths crossed before. Well what a small world. Is that why Darth Agur called you Master? Was he your old apprentice in your Sith days?

[Sifer Verlust]

I had an apprentice a long time ago. So it's possible.
