"Many who believe the Republican was perfect is sorely mistaken." Obi-wan I want had seen enough of the dirty side of the Republic, the side that sat you idly and argued semantics while people died unnecessarily. People being enslaved and sold for others gain while a politician profited by turning a blind eye to a bill that would prevent it. Wars being fought and ignored because it was not a prevalent export planet. Obi-wan had seen far too much, and the weight of it was at times staggering.

"The Empire is far worse than the Republic, I concur. However, I know that as long as there is light there will also be darkness, my fight is not over, and perhaps it never will be."
