let it be known this jedi is fucking valid

[ jedi: you know me, master windu. you were there when my first master … lilit twoseas … was killed. the fourth precept, ‘no death, only the force’, is hard for me. 

when the call came after geonosis, i obeyed. i took command of a battalion of clone troopers on teyr. i led them into battle. i lead from the front, not from behind. i know no other way. the battle … did not go well for us that day. 

jedi, flashback: fall back!

clone, flashback: we can achieve the objective, general. we need to press on. 

jedi, flashback: most of you will die in the process. that is not acceptable to me. 

clone, flashback: with respect, sir – it is what we were bred for. to battle, to obey, and to die, if need be. that’s all. 

jedi ( present time ): as a jedi, i was taught to preserve life. i led these clones – no, these men – to their deaths. 

these were living, sentient beings. what i have been asked to do is the opposite of everything i was trained to do as a jedi. it betrays everything i believe we are meant to be as jedi. how can you ask this? ]
