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.

I have been in exactly that situation.

[notayoungman]

Are you a hero or a soldier?

[am_i_a_monster]

No, just someone who didn't want to die.

[notayoungman]

Then you don't have the same perspective as these men. You are who they would be saving.

[am_i_a_monster]

Maybe.

[A pause]

You don't think they have the same instincts as the rest of us?

[notayoungman]

I know they don't. Soldiers. Warriors. Military. They're trained to be different. They choose to protect those who can't protect themselves. Does your world not have these things?

[am_i_a_monster]

We do. Even then, there are deserters.

The person who saved me, later killed me.

People can't always change.
