completely, much to the disgust of Windu. The last one, Image, down on his knees, admits they killed Katri due to the fact that he’s the group that realized that Larik used the Senate seat in order to gain wealth at the cost of the planet. The planet was being industrialized and then selling the planet one piece at a time. One reason for keeping Larik in the first place was to force them to enact their own rules during the next Senate meeting in order to undo the damage they had done. The image says that the Jedi claim to be peaceful, but the Jedi proclaim peace, but they believe they’re just lapdogs for the Senate.

The intriguing ideologies discussed in this episode allow us to discern a clear path between the dark and light sides of the force. This is especially true when you think about where Dooku or Mace Windu find themselves within The Star Wars universe. While the episode doesn’t provide anything unique or thrilling, it’s an excellent way to show how the Empire affects the Empire as the main theme throughout the collection.
