"...To sum up, on behalf of the Jedi Order, I file a formal accusation against the current Speaker of the Galactic Senate, Sheev Palpatine! As a Sith Lord, you have no qualifications to lead the advancement of the Galactic Republic!" in
At the Coruscant Galactic Capitol, Jedi Master Shaak Ti stood on the anti-gravity platform and formally questioned the legitimacy of Speaker Sheev Palpatine.
And unlike when other congressmen spoke, Shaak-Ti directly drove the anti-gravity platform to the center of the spherical venue and confronted Palpatine head-on.
"I can only feel extremely regretful and sad about the decision of the Jedi Order. Because now is the critical moment for our Galactic Republic to restore its unity, and the war between us and the Separatists has also entered the final stage. Victory! Just now
In front of you!" Palpatine emphasized the word victory very hard.
He looked at Shakti coldly and said: "At this time, the Jedi Order stabbed us in the back. You should tell me why this is? Why do you want to do it when we are about to arrive at our destination?"
, want to pull us off the track of victory?"
"You are a Sith Lord! The Sith Empire has been the enemy of the Galactic Republic since its rise seven thousand years ago! Several Sith wars have caused devastation and the destruction of people's homes! Such a person should not be a member of the Galactic Republic.
The helmsman!" Shakti said sharply.
"First of all, the current constitution of the Galactic Republic does not stipulate that a certain type of person cannot serve as the Speaker of the Republic. Second, the current constitution of the Galactic Republic clearly stipulates that every citizen's freedom of belief is respected and supported. Third, as the Speaker of the Republic, I am happy to accept
After all investigations, I will be very honest and say that I have not done anything against the interests of the Galactic Republic." Palpatine said expressionlessly, "Then tell me, Master Shaak-Ti, why do you have it?
What if you ask me not to serve as Speaker?"
"The old Sith War seven thousand years ago, to the Mandalorian War four thousand years ago, to the new Sith War that ended a thousand years ago... The war between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic has reached close to ten thousand years.
years! And in every war, the Jedi Order will stand firmly on the side of the Republic! Because we firmly believe that the Galactic Republic will also be a representative of light! And now, letting a Sith Lord become the Speaker, this will affect
Based on the judgment of the Jedi Order, we have reason to believe that after an enemy who has been an enemy for thousands of years becomes the Speaker, it will have a very serious negative impact on the Republic!" Shakti said.
Palpatine sneered and retorted: "The negative impact you are talking about is that I tried to rebuild the army against all opinions and fought to the death against Count Dooku who was separatist. Or do you mean that I have continued to reform the civil service system since I took office?
Streamline departments and greatly improve the administrative efficiency of the Republic? In the most difficult time of the Galactic Republic, it was people like me who fought for the Republic to the end. So how should you, the self-proclaimed guardians, handle yourself?"
He glanced around and then said loudly: "I must admit that I am a Force-sensitive person, and my Force is inclined to the dark side. However, the reason why I am like this is because when I was a teenager,
My parents and whole family were assassinated by political opponents! The force of the dark side has not diminished my passion and loyalty to the Republic! It has only made me stronger and more determined! I swear that the tragedy that happened to me will never happen to me.
Don’t let it happen to anyone else again!”
"And you, the Jedi Order...you don't punish the murderer, but you accuse me, the victim. Is this what you do as a guardian? In that case, I will just take care of business - Shaq -
Master Ti, do you have any valid evidence for my accusation?"
Shake-Ti just said calmly: "We have no direct evidence. And I am here today just to tell you the results of our handling - the Jedi Order will leave the Galactic Republic and return to a remote planet to practice in seclusion.
, no longer interfere with all affairs of the galaxy."
For the Jedi Order, this is a very helpless decision.
Sheev Palpatine's almost irrefutable answer was also an expected result of the Jedi Order. Just as they concluded during the discussion - after so many years of preparation and management, Palpatine,
It is no longer possible to overturn it through legal means.
Because his existence itself is legal!
Therefore, the only option for the Jedi Order is to cut ties with Palpatine and leave the Galactic Republic. At the same time, this also means that they admit their failure...
However, Palpatine's expression became gloomy. Not only that, although there were tens of thousands of congressmen in the entire conference hall, there was silence at the moment.
This can be said to be a very explosive decision!
The Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order have been extremely staunch allies since 25,000 years ago. The Jedi Order has been guarding the peace and tranquility of the Galactic Republic for tens of thousands of years, and today, the Jedi Order actually said they were leaving.
?
Palpatine said slowly: "I have to reiterate my regrets again. Because the departure of the Jedi Order must be the result that the Separatists and Count Dooku want to see most. And there is no doubt that without the Jedi,
Under the leadership of the Samurai Order, the distance between us and victory will become far away again. Maybe... this war will continue for the second two years, the third two years, or even more..."
"The Jedi Order of the light side of the force and the Sith Lord of the dark side of the force can never work together." Shakti's tone also turned cold.
"So, you chose to help another Sith Lord, the Death Angel, and his ally Count Dooku?" Palpatine sneered and said heart-wrenching words, "Because besides that,
I can't think of any legitimate reason for you to give up on the great cause of unifying the Galactic Republic. After all, because of your withdrawal, the separatism has the possibility of overturning again."
"We are not here to ask for your opinion, but to inform us of our decision." Shakti said, "Time will prove the correctness of everything we have done, but now, we will choose to leave."
Palpatine suddenly raised his voice, "So since the Jedi Order has made up its mind to give up its loyalty to the Galactic Republic, I must also stand from the perspective of the Galactic Republic and the countless civilians affected by the war! I ask you Jedi
Order, open the Jedi Temple immediately and accept a thorough investigation!"
He raised his hands and continued: "The Jedi Order participates in almost all important decisions of the Galactic Republic! As the Speaker of the Republic, I must ensure that the secrets of the Republic will not be leaked!"
