The Jedi are trained to let go. They're trained from birth. They're not supposed to form attachments. They can love people – in fact, they should love everybody.

Windu: "Luckily, we are guided by our Council and not by politics nor ego."

Anyone can fire a blaster. Very few can safely and skillfully wield a lightsaber. Everyone in the galaxy knows this to be true. We want our opponents to know that we use a weapon that requires intention. Training, precision and choice. The lightsaber symbolizes the care with which we approach our gifts through the Force and the care with which we wield them. It reminds others that while we could do more... we very purposefully do not.

Our worst fears have been realized. We must move quickly if the Jedi Order is to survive.

I get so confused sometimes. It's forbidden for Jedi to form attachments. Yet, we're supposed to be compassionate.

If you strip away the myth and look at their deeds, the legacy of the Jedi is failure, hypocrisy, hubris. At the height of their powers, they allowed Darth Sidious to rise, create the Empire, and wipe them out. It was a Jedi Master who was responsible for the training and creation of Darth Vader.

Anakin: "I don't think so. No one can kill a Jedi."
Qui-Gon: "I wish that were so."

A Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side! Anger, fear, agression - the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you it will.

Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering.

The Rebellion is reborn today. The war is just beginning. And I will not be the last Jedi.
