Cracken: You’re coming dangerously close to insubordination, General.
Wedge: No, General. I’m not your subordinate. And what I’m coming dangerously close to is violence.
They reached the street. Wedge was struck sideways by a blast of intense light; he stumbled, thew up his sleeve to block the glare. “Sithspit! What’s that?”
“That’s the sun, Wedge. It’s after dawn.”
“Well, it offends me. Turn it off.”
“It’s a hundred thirty, hundred forty million klicks from here.”
“Many people, when they become sick, retreat to their childhood and being helpless. They abandon who they have become and their place in the web that is the Force, then the disease severs those final connections and they die.
As long as I’m fighting, I’m not dying.”
Leonia Tavira: [through comm speakers] You! You were the Jedi at Courkrus!
Corran Horn: At your service. I'd like to introduce Luke Skywalker, Jedi Master, and Mirax Terrik and... but, wait, we're on our way to see you. Introductions are so much nicer in person.
Leonia Tavira: How dare you!
Corran Horn: Oh, I dare. New Republic will be here in no time. The days of the Invidious are over.
Leonia Tavira: Never!
Corran Horn: [laughs] By the way, the month's not up, but the answer is no.
Leonia Tavira: Arrgghhh! When I get my hands on you...
Mirax Terrik: In your dreams, deary. [shoots comm unit] Empire's been dead for years, and still she relies on those limping Imperial threats. 'When I get my hands on you!' Get with the times, woman..."
Luke Skywalker: I like your Mirax a whole bunch, Corran. [smiling] And you're right, she and Mara should never meet.
Corran Horn: It all comes down to the nature of evil, doesn't it? Evil is selfishness, while good is selfless. If I take an action that benefits me, only me, and hurts others, I am evil. If I do what must be done to prevent harm to others, if I become the buffer between them and evil, then my actions will be good.
Elegos A'Kla: Your intentions will be good. Without consideration and forethought, however, your actions could still be evil. That is the problem, of course, evil is always easy, and restisting it is never so. Evil is relentless; and anyone, if they tire, if they are not vigilant, can fall prey to it.
Corran Horn: And there will be situations where opposing evil may result in harm coming to the innocent.
Elegos A'Kla: It does happen, yes. Life is not without pain, but life concerns itself with how we handle that pain, or joy, or confusion or triumph. LIfe is more than time passing before death, it is the sum and total of all we make of it. Decisions may not be easy, but many is the time when not making a decision, not taking an action is worse than a poor decision. Evil flourishes where it is not opposed, and those who are able to oppose it must to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
