[Qui-Gon trusts Ezra to have grown enough in maturity to know when and where to break the rules. There’s no way for that to possibly backfire at any given moment, right?]
[He’s quiet while Ezra works through his thoughts silently, and only nods as Ezra produces the summarization of said thoughts aloud.]
It is a combination of the two.
At the time of my death, because my training was incomplete, there is much that I cannot do. That said, should I continue my training through the Force, I will be capable of appearing at will—but also provided the Force itself wishes for it, as well.
It isn’t my intention to go against it. If, collectively, it is decided that I should not intervene on an issue, then I will not.
Others who seek this sort of power wish to bend the Force to their own will, not allow the Force to shape it.
[Don't worry, nothing ever backfires that monumentally in this universe. You can rest in peace easy, Qui-Gon.
Ezra's quiet again for another long moment. This is something that's big, so much bigger than him, that he feels so small even thinking about it and what it means. Life and death and will of the Force and giving yourself up so completely. He's pretty sure that doing something like this would mean giving up the peace that death should bring. Maybe he doesn't know what death is really like, but if nothing else, it means all your work is done, you can rest from responsibility and just be with all the life that has gone before. This... Qui-Gon could be giving all of this up for the rest of eternity.]
It... sounds like you'd still have your hands pretty full. [He starts this thought off hesitantly, because he's not just feeling out Qui-Gon's reaction, but his own. He has to be sure he's not asking for the wrong reasons.] Doing what the Force needs you to do when there's a whole galaxy. It's... Would you... want help?
[There isn't any denying Ezra's observations: Qui-Gon Jinn has resigned himself to continuing his work even after his demise. He feels no regret on the matter. He couldn't. Not when he was positive about the Force's will and intent for his life (and afterlife).]
[Will it be a lot to deal with? Yes. He holds no pretenses about that sobering fact. As such, Ezra's tentative offer is immensely appreciated in its scope.]
That is a difficult question to answer.
[And there aren't many that Qui-Gon finds difficult.]
I won't lie and say that it would not be a less lonely experience, but I'm not in any rush to receive that companionship.
Mostly due to how said companionship would have to manifest.
