"By all means."

[He takes another sip of his own tea. It's gotten cold. Oh, dear.]

OHHH, so you're from space. OK. That makes sense.

A...Jedi. Thats what you are? Hmm. What do Jedi do?

"We are guardians of peace and order throughout the Republic."

[... Were. We were.]

"Essentially, we serve as diplomats, protectors, advisors, and, when necessary, military commanders."

Very nice. So...special forces for your Space Republic?

[She's genuinely impressed]

I take it you have some sort of special powers? Or did you use all kinds of neat laser guns and stuff?

"Laser guns? Oh, no. Blasters are messy things. Clumsy. Uncivilized. Artless. They cannot defend, they cannot disarm, they can only injure and destroy."

[He nibbles his danish.]

"But yes, we are, though we're not actually part of the Republic's military or law enforcement. As for special powers, we are adherents to what I suppose you might consider a form of religion, in that we follow and draw strength from a mystical energy known as the Force.

And our weapons are not guns. They are, in a manner of speaking, swords. Though they are also meant to be our last resort, drawn in violence only when all other options have been exhausted."

Ohhhh? So you don't use guns? Thats good. I...only use them on the job, when...my preferred form of dealing with trouble isn't an option. But swords? Aren't those just as messy?


And...whats this Force do?

"If used properly, the Lightsaber can defend as well as attack, deflecting incoming blaster fire and parrying strikes in melee. It can also be used with more subtlety and finesse than a blaster, owing to the amount of maneuverability it provides.

And it makes a rather handy cutting tool, as well."

[He chuckles.]

"As for the Force, it... in our world, at least, it is a field of mystical energy that is created by all living beings. A living, unifying entity that binds the Galaxy together. Those attuned to it can use it to perform feats that would otherwise be impossible."

Oh my. So, you have special swords. Very cool!

[She nods when he describes The Force]

We've got something like that where I come from too. Chi. In my homeworld, people who apply themselves can learn to channel their own life essence to do the impossible.

"I have read something of Chi in my time here. It does seem to be very similar, though I don't recall it being used to accomplish spectacular feats."
