Saw, Wilmon Paak and others in “Unfinished Business”

[Saw Gerrera is standing next to Wilmon Paak, who is setting up the temperamental rhydonium siphoning valves.]

I was younger than you are, now. I was a prisoner. They made a work camp in the jungle. No droids, no beasts, just men and cargo. Onderon jungle. Real jungle. Hot, wet, blistering jungle. Oh, men died fast. Just dropped where they stood. When we came back the next day, there'd be nothing left but a bone or two where they went down. Our clothes just melted away! So they worked us naked. Two, three hundred men. Boys really. Back and forth, until the only thing they could remember was back and forth. Then one day, everyone started to itch. Everyone, all at once, even the guards. You could feel your skin coming alive. It was the Rydo. They had a leak. You could feel it before you could smell it. So they all panicked and ran away, but... it was new to me!

WPWilmon Paak

It's done. I'm gonna open the valve now.

[The valve opens, causing rydonium fumes to spew. Saw rushes towards them.]

I have always loved you.

WWilmon

What are you doing!?

There it is.

WWilmon

How can you do that!?

Because I understand it! Because she's my sister, Rydo, and she loves me! That... itch, that burn... You feel how badly she wants to explode? Remember this, remember this moment! This perfect night. You think I'm crazy? Yes, I am. Revolution is not for the sane. Look at us. Unloved, hunted, cannon fodder, we'll all be dead before the Republic is back, and yet... here we are. Where are you, boy? You're here! You're not with Luthen, you're here! You're right here, and you're ready to fight!

[Wilmon takes off his protective mask and begins to cough and sputter as he inhales the rydonium fumes]

We're the Rydo, kid! We're the fuel, we're the thing that explodes when there's too much friction in the air! Let it in, boy! That's freedom calling! Let it in. Let it run! Let it run wild!
