The ​Colossus of Destiny (Star Wars: The Clone Wars 4.) 0 csillagozás

"Costing us much, these Clone Wars are. Easily tally, we can, the price to replace a starship, or to equip an army…but not so easy, is it, to calculate the personal losses. Know too well, I do, the toll we all must pay for the greater good of the galaxy.
Whether it is worth the personal sacrifice…that only we can decide on our own."

So here it is, Mace thinks…The inevitable outcome of letting his emotions get the better of him. Again.
So quick to run into battle, so quick to save the day.
So quick to swing a saber when a calm conversation might have ended the conflict.

Mace likes to believe that his actions are a last resort, that the Confederacy of Independent System's invasion of Simocadia forced the Republic's hand – forced his hand – into choosing combat over diplomacy.
But the truth isn't so simple. The truth is Mace likes this. The truth is that sometimes only the rhythms of battle can soothe the storm of conflicting emotions that swirl deep within him. It's not a very Jedi-like quality, he knows….but in times like this…is that such a bad thing?

„Is it true, that the Jedi aren't allowed to marry?”
„Yes, forming attachments is discouraged.”
„So no children then, either?”
„No.”
„That's a shame. The bond between a parent and their child is one of the most precious things in the galaxy. Without having felt that, there's no way you can know what I'm going through…or how I can so easily forgive my son's transgressions.”
„I'm a Jedi, Highness – not a robot. We do feel emotion.”
„Supressing your emotions is not the same as feeling them, Mace. You've changed so much since you were last here. The Jedi have helped you tame the tempest inside of you…But they've also cooled your passion.”
„I don't have time for this.”
