Artist's portrayal of what JediPhobos looks like.
People often ask me if I have any regrets in life and I tell them that I
have three: I regret not spending enough time studying in school, for knowledge is never
bad; I regret certain relationship choices I've made that could have been healthier; but
most of all, I regret that Jedi left us before I had the chance to get into his
girlfriend's pants. Some of you may not know who Jedi is, especially some of the new
Graphites, but JediPhobos or Jedi as he was known to his online friends is a truly
brilliant and admirable man, despite his passion for Emmanuel Lewis, TV's Webster.
He was the lead Science Officer and Inspirational to the cause of space exploration and
one of the founding members of the Graphite organization. Was it not Jedi who coined the
phrase, "I have not yet begun to fight"?! Ok, that was some other guy... but
goddammit, it might as well have been Jedi. Jedi is the kind of guy who gives till it
hurts. Personally, I still haven't walked the same since we met. He touched all of our
lives in ways that still won't be made clear until after years of psychotherapy. This is
the legacy of Jedi. He is a man who marches to the beat of a different drum machine, and
nowhere is this more evident than in his decision to leave the Graphites and start his own
cult. Comparisons to Benedict Arnold and Judas aside, I am proud to have been able to call
him "my friend". He inspired me and made me laugh and yet all too quickly he has
now left my life. I'm going to miss his quick wit, his intelligence and his company. Now,
I don't usually get emotional over stuff like this and I'm not about to start now, but
Jedi, if you see this...
Come home... please... we'll leave the light on for you.
Sincerely... your friend,
