Bending? What? No -- I'm a Jedi and it was more of an accident.

[Yeah, lets just go with that one. But he also becomes a bit serious and steps in with a slightly narrowed gaze.]

But you -- you are not a Jedi.

[Not that he's ever heard one being able to repair something like that anyway.]

Just who are you?

You'll find that around here, everything is based on Bending, for better or worse.

[Clu is perfectly willing to go with accident, given that he's accidentally Bent things himself while trying to do something else. He's just surprised you could do it at all right off the bat.]

No, I'm not a Jedi, though I have met one before. My name is Clu; I'm a program. [polite nod.] I used to live inside a computer system before Nautilus brought me here.

[Wrap your head around that one, Anakin.]

And you are?

Anakin Skywalker. You may have heard of me.

[Many people have. He's used to it.]

And you mean that you're a droid?

[A humanlike one. This has definitely caught his interest!]

Actually I haven't. But given the nature of this place, that doesn't surprise me.

[Clu suppresses a sigh at the assumption that he's a droid. Despite being Force-less at the moment, Anakin will probably get the feeling Clu has to explain this a lot.]

No, not a droid; a program. We're made of code and energy, not metal, and we live within computer systems, performing a variety of tasks in service to our Users. I'm a hacking program myself.

Droids have programs in them, it could still apply.

[Oh yeah. He certainly gets that this guy has to explain this a lot. But unfortunately Anakin is probably going to pester him from now on.]

Besides, as far as I can tell, you have a physical body right now. You wouldn't if you were just energy.

[Hey, pester away. Clu is nosy and it'd give him an excuse to pester you right back.]

My body is made of code; energy is what holds it together and keeps me functional. If I was injured, you could see the voxels, but I'm not about to cause that much damage to myself for the sake of a demonstration.

[Solid code seems to be a very tough concept for most Users to grasp for whatever reason.]

Anyway, I don't suppose anyone has given you the text file explaining the basics of this place yet, have they?

So you are similar to a hologram, but more defined. There's no sort of projector or anything? How were you created?

[Let's just ignore the whole text file thing, what Clu is made of is more interesting]

Not really. Holograms are just projections; they're not really alive. Programs and other, less sophisticated codeforms like bits and bytes, are solid, living code.

[Another concept hard for Users to understand, it seems; living code.]

Programs are written by Users to serve them by performing a variety of functions within the system. If you're asking for the exact process that goes into that, though, I'm afraid I don't really know. Programs can't create other programs; only Users can.
