What is a Sage?
Qui-Gon Kim said in a low voice, "That's impossible. Even the Republic has no reason to exterminate the Jedi …"
"But similarly, there is no law that explicitly states that the Sith are illegal." Emma Frost interrupted Qui-Gon Kim almost immediately. "The Old Republic had explicitly stated that the existence of the Sith was illegal, regardless of whether they had committed a crime or not. However, during Lu Sang's reforms, the Republic removed this law in order to show its leniency and tolerance. The reason why the Sith are still not tolerated in the world is mainly because of the Jedi's hunting and killing, not because of the law. "
Master Yoda shook his head. "In the past, she would have made a more impulsive choice. But now, Emma, she's right. "
"Unless you use force, you have no way to prove that Palpatine is a Sith High Lord. But because he is the chairman, you cannot use force against him without any evidence. Otherwise, it would be considered a rebellion. It's even more impossible for you to put Palpatine on trial, because everyone in the council is on his side. So, you have no choice. This is an open conspiracy, a conspiracy to put the Jedi Order in a desperate situation, a conspiracy that they will never be able to recover from! "Emma Frost said.
Qui-Gon Kim instantly understood the cause of the matter. Even as a Valiant Spirit, he felt a chill run down his spine. This was indeed a terrifying conspiracy, a terrifying trap! "So, if we use force against Palpatine, then the Jedi Order will be guilty of treason, and he can legitimately activate Order 66! And if we only publicly accuse him without any evidence, the result will only be the Jedi Order being condemned by the public. It is equivalent to a slow suicide! "
Emma Frost nodded. Before she came to the world of Star Wars, Tang Yu had shown her all the relevant information and documents. Just through these words, she could feel the horror of this terrible plot. In the original plot, after Master Windu learned that Palpatine was the Sith High Lord, he impulsively led Sastien, Kitt Festus, and Ajen Kola to capture Palpatine. However, Palpatine deliberately left behind audio evidence and deliberately showed weakness. Not only did he lure Anakin Skywalker into attacking Master Windu, he even pinned the crime of treason on the Jedi Knights.
That was why Order 66 was passed without a hitch. The councilors who sympathized with the Jedi, including Bell Organa, did not dare to say a word! Because it was legal. According to the Republic's laws, a Jedi Knight with the intention to murder the Chairman would be committing treason — even if he was a Sith High Lord!
"Then … what should we do?" Qui-Gon Jinn asked, a little frightened.
"There's nothing we can do. The only way out is to disband the Jedi Order, "Master Yoda said with incomparable sorrow.
Emma Frost quietly looked at the respectable old man Master Yoda. The defeat of the Jedi Order was not Master Yoda's responsibility. For a long time, the Republic had become the shackles of the Jedi Order. It was this shackle that caused the Jedi Order to sink deeper and deeper. Just like how they had no choice but to participate in the Milky Way Civil War, forcing them to give up their transcendent position and make a choice between black and white.
The original purpose of the Jedi Order was to maintain the balance of the Force, to maintain peace and justice, and to explore the essence of the universe. These things required them to maintain a transcendent position. However, there were too many entanglements with the Republic, causing them to lose their transcendent position. Although they had become the privileged class of the Republic, they were also bound by the Republic's laws. It was this contradiction that became the cause of the Jedi Order's final tragedy.
"Since you knew all of this a long time ago, why didn't you tell us in advance? Why not wait until now when everything is irreversible …! If we had known earlier, perhaps … perhaps the war would not have broken out … "Qui-Gon Kim's Heroic Spirit said with a long sigh.
Emma Frost said coldly, "If we had told you all this in advance, let's not talk about whether you would believe it or not. First of all, you knew about Order 66. What could you do? Is this order illegal? No! This is a legal order of the Republic's constitution! Secondly, you know that Palpatine is the Sith Lord. Then what? Arrest him? Kill him? Then Order 66 will be triggered again. Perhaps you would have been finished two years ago. "
"When I return to Coruscant, I will. The ten thousand years of history of the Jedi Order will be ended by me personally. All Jedi would be able to make their own choices, and would not need to be bound by the Jedi Order. It's all over, all of this … "Master Yoda leaned on his walking stick and looked up at the distorted starry sky of planet Dagobah. He sighed.
"This will cause a large number of Jedi to fall into the dark side due to confusion, further strengthening Palpatine's power!" Qui-Gon Kim said.
"Then, those Jedi who fall into the dark side will be ended! I will do it myself! "Master Yoda said resolutely.
Emma Frost's heart was moved. She could not help but take a step back. She knelt on one knee and gave the most respectful bow to this respectable old man. She said in a deep voice, "Please allow me to offer my highest respect to you, Master Yoda!"
She understood that Master Yoda's decision was tantamount to letting him bear all the sins and all the killing! He had personally disbanded the Jedi Order and personally hunted down his former comrades. He had carried everything on his back just for a chance — a chance for the Jedi Order to rise from the ashes!
In Emma's eyes, Master Yoda's small figure had become incomparably tall. Sacrificing oneself for the common people, this was the path of a saint! And Master Yoda was the saint of this world!
[Note 1]: Whether or not the Sith is illegal under the Republic's laws is not directly mentioned. However, according to the plot of "Knights of the Old Republic", the Old Republic clearly states that the existence of the Sith is illegal. However, I don't know what happened to the Republic after that. According to the plot of Order 66 in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, this is my deduction.
[Note 2]: Regarding Order 66, it is worth mentioning that in the original settings of Star Wars, it was one of a total of 150 emergency orders. It was later set up by Palpatine and legally triggered. However, in the official anime "The Clone Wars", it was said that Command 66 was a mandatory command implanted in the biochip in the clone's brain. Palpatine's brilliant plan had turned into a shoddy plot to forcibly control the clone soldiers to destroy the Jedi Knights. This was an insult to Palpatine's intelligence!
So, I combined two theories. First of all, Command 66 was indeed one of the 150 emergency commands, but at the same time, these 150 commands were all written into the biochips of the clone soldiers so that they would be forced to carry out the command when it was triggered. Therefore, as long as the command was legal, the clone soldiers would not refuse.
