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.

[One can only hope really. Obi-Wan shook his head to himself. Hardly able to believe that Maul had reared his head yet again.]

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.]

[ Oh hell naw. ]

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.

That may be true, but too many people have suffered and died because of my inability to finish what I started.

[In other words it's not just you Kanan. Maul has been a plague in Obi-Wan's life for some time now.]

Maybe you're right.

[ 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.

That they do.

[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.

Like I said, I had a lot of help - also as the Force willed it.

[ 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.

That's right. We don't live our lives for ourselves.

[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.

[ Kanan's life stopped being about him a long time ago. Really, it did when Depa Billaba sacrificed herself, though it took him a while to realize it. But he's fully committed, now. ]

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.

[He can relate to that as well. That also stopped for him the moment his own master died. Losing one's master is quite a wake up call for a young Jedi. Especially when you have a child dropped in your lap for training.]

Dinner? I would be honored, thank you.

Great! Great. We'll plan on it soon, then.

[ Time to CLEAN! ]
