Flat Robotic Voice: (ala speech-to-text) Do Jedi protect people or would you let innocent people get hurt for some idea of "greater good"?
Kanan Jarrus: Protecting innocents is the greater good. That's what we're called to do, as Jedi. The Force has granted us these gifts, these abilities. In my world, Force-sensitives can do things other people can't. And so it's our job to protect those who can't protect themselves.
Robotic Voice: Anti-Jedi. Would you protect people with your life, or would you let them die for some "greater good"?
General Grievous: It is not my duty to protect the people of Earth yet you will condemn me for not sacrificing myself for just any cause.

It's fine. There's a group, they call themselves Inquisitors. I think they work for Vader. They track suspected Jedi, and even Force-sensitive children. We've had to deal with a few of them.
But it wasn't an Inquisitor, or even Vader, who did this. [ Who blinded him. ]
It was Maul.
[Private]
I beg your pardon?
[Give him a minute to reboot here.]
He's still alive?
[Private]
Yes, more's the pity. Or, well, he was for a while. I'm pretty sure he was finally dead when I - left.
[Private]
I'm sorry.
[Yes, that was an apology. A loaded one at that. It might not have been Anakin, but he still feels terribly guilty.]
[Private]
Nuh-uh. I've been through this with Ezra, I'm not doing it with you, too. Not your fault. Maul's actions are his own.
[Private]
[In other words it's not just you Kanan. Maul has been a plague in Obi-Wan's life for some time now.]
[Private]
[ But. BUT! ]
I'm not saying it's good that he lived, I'm just saying - in my case, anyway - it was as the Force willed it. It's been difficult, but I can honestly say I'm a better Jedi now. And a better Master to my Padawan. You won't hear me thanking Maul for what he did, but - things happen for a reason.
[Private]
[Obi-Wan could agree with that. And really, he had to think of it that way as well to get past his own loses.]
At least some good came of it. I'm glad you could make your peace.
[Private]
[ Not just the Ghost crew, either. But also the Bendu, and meeting such a being was certainly no coincidence. At some point he does want to talk to Obi-Wan about the Bendu, but perhaps not just today. Soon, though. ]
It happened, and I had to learn to live with it - if not for myself, for the others. We're Jedi. People depend on us.
[Private]
[Even though sometimes it could be hard to remember that. And some might judge them for thinking that way. It was the truth, their truth.]
I'm certain you have no shortage of stories to tell, Kanan. I would like to hear more of them the next time we meet.
[Private]
I've also really enjoyed our conversations so far, Master Kenobi. Drop by for dinner any time - Hera is just as eager to get to know you better.
[Private]
Dinner? I would be honored, thank you.
[Private]
[ Time to CLEAN! ]
