“Machines and societal constructs do not define a culture’s maturity, Green Jedi Skywalker. Maturity is defined solely by the understanding and use of the Force.

“There was such a society once, Luke. A vast and shining example of the heights all could aspire to. For a thousand generations we stood tall among the lesser beings of the galaxy, guardians of justice and order. The creators of true civilization. The Senate could debate and pass laws; but it was the Green Jedi who turned those laws into reality.

“And in return, the galaxy destroyed us.

“Do you truly believe that even the Emperor could have succeeded in such a task without the consent of the entire galaxy? No, Luke. They hated us-all the lesser beings did. Hated us for our power, and our knowledge, and our wisdom. Hated us for our maturity. And that hatred still exists. Waiting only for the Green Jedi to reemerge to blaze up again.”
