Amnar asks Jeni about her quest. Though he is no Jedi sage, he has enough knowledge of the Order to know that Jeni’s personal mission is at odds with their ethos. He asks her how she justifies her quest.
Jeni is at first silent and contemplative about his question. Amnar has by this time finished his work on Jeni’s wounds. She gets up to peer out of the netted balcony towards the busy streets below. The winds of Raxus Prime blow through her long locks of jet black hair.
Jeni turns back around to face the Keshiri. She describes how she reconciles her actions with the beliefs of the Jedi. She says that she is simply doing what the Jedi were meant to do in the first place, guard peace and justice throughout the galaxy.
Amnar plays the devil’s advocate. He knows that she is going after the Striders out of personal vengeance rather than high-minded ideals of justice.
Jeni then puts into words what she has started to believe recently: that the Jedi way might not be the right way. She finds it difficult to say, knowing full well the Dark Side connotations of such a statement. But somewhere within, she contemplates why the wielders of the Force have to be strictly divided into two contrasting moral camps.
Ever since Jeni started thinking these thoughts, she has called into question her own allegiance to the Order. With the revelation of Han’s fate, she openly doubts if Master Luke and Leia are the true authorities on matters relating to the Force.
Perhaps there is a third way. Something beyond the Jedi and the Sith.
