Kanan JarrusAfter this mission, I want us to go back on our own. Fighting alongside soldiers isn't what I signed up for.
You seem to be forgetting these soldiers helped save your life!
Kanan Jarrus
And I'm grateful, but that doesn't mean I want to join their little army. When you and I started together, it was rob from the Empire, give to the needy: a noble cause. Now, we're getting drawn into some military thing, and I don't like it.
We are fighting a bigger fight, but it's still the right fight.
Kanan Jarrus
I survived one war; I'm not ready for another one. I saw what it did.
Kanan Jarrus
To everyone.
[Ezra confronts Kanan about his distrust of Rex and the clones]
Okay, you don't trust these clones, but they haven't done anything--
Kanan
You don't understand- they're dangerous. They could--
They could what?! Rex doesn't seem bad at all. Ahsoka said to trust him; you trust her, don't you?
Kanan
[angry] You weren't there! You weren't even born!
[confused] What are you talking about?
Kanan
[curtly] I don't feel like discussing it. [Ezra turns to leave; Kanan lets out a bitter sigh and starts talking] It was at the end, the end of the war. Our fellow soldiers, the clones, the ones we Jedi fought side by side with suddenly turned and betrayed us. I watched them kill my Master! She fought beside them for years and they gunned her down in a second! Then they came for me. Later, they said they had chips in their heads that made them do it, that they had no choice.
[reveals himself in the doorway] I didn't betray my Jedi. [indicates a scar on his temple] Wolffe, Gregor and I all removed our control chips. We all had a choice.
Kanan Jarrus
You shot us! I can't believe you shot us!
Well - I mean - y-you were dressed like Stormtroopers!
Kanan Jarrus
Yeah!
You shot us! [starts laughing]
Yeah, well you should have used kill.
Kanan Jarrus
What?!
Well, just in case it wasn't us, I mean...
Kanan Jarrus
Ugh! This armor doesn't protect you from anything!
OMOld Master/Maul
Unless you take risks, do what must be done, there will always be limits to your abilities.
Maul, what game are you playing?
The endgame, Lady Tano. The endgame. I am the enemy of your enemy now, and I have my own reasons for wanting the Empire to fall, but we have little time. The one they call "Vader" will be here soon.
Kanan Jarrus
How do you know this?
His dogs will tell him where we are. Two Jedi and a... part-timer? (Ahsoka looks away) Oh, he will come. He will not be able to resist us.
Kanan Jarrus
Okay, hold on. There is no "us". Dealing with Inquisitors is one thing, Vader is another... and I'm not convinced we're all on the same side, anyway.
Kanan, we should trust him. Look! (holds up the Sith Holocron) He and I took this from the Temple together! This is why we came here, right? To find out about the Sith. To find a way to beat them? Ahsoka, you said we came here for knowledge.
Ezra, there is no way a Jedi can unlock that Holocron.
But you may unlock the Temple itself.
At the top of the Temple is a chamber. Connect the Holocron to the obelisk within, and you can unlock the ancient knowledge of the Sith.
Why are you working so hard to keep us here?
I cannot defeat Vader alone.
Kanan Jarrus
Yeah? Well, I say we go, so that settles it.
Are you such cowards that you would run from this chance to defeat your enemies?! Who slaughter your friends.
Kanan Jarrus
(in his comlink) Chopper, we're staying for a while. (Chopper replies) Yeah, I know it's a bad idea! Just scan for incoming ships and keep the Phantom out of sight.
If you want to finish our fight, you'll have to deal with him first.
[Maul turns to see Kanan, now wearing an old Jedi Temple Guard mask over his face]
Kanan Jarrus
[to Ahsoka] Go get Ezra!
[Ahsoka runs up the stairs toward the top of the Temple]
[pityingly] I... will make this quick.
Kanan Jarrus
[coldly] You had your chance.
[Maul moves slowly, with Kanan using the Force to sense his enemy's movements. Maul attacks, but Kanan quickly defeats him and sends him hurtling off the side of the Temple]
I see … nothing! Only oblivion. I must go deeper! Deeper!
What do you see? What is it?!
Tell me! Tell me what you see!
Ezra! [the light from the Holocrons increases. The Ghost crew is blinded] It’s too bright! Where is he?
Kanan Jarrus
[removes his face mask, and sees Maul and Ezra standing out against the light] Ezra! I see him! Maul’s close! I’m going to get Ezra out! Be ready!
Wait, you see him?! Kanan!
Kanan Jarrus
Ezra! Ezra, listen to me! Look away!
No! Stay focused, apprentice. Gain the knowledge you desire.
Kanan Jarrus
Remember Bendu’s warning! Turn away before it’s too late!
It’s so close. The key to destroying the Sith is just a little farther.
Kanan Jarrus
It’s not worth it Ezra! Trust me.
[Ezra begins to look away. As he does, the Holocrons pull slightly apart from each other]
[An explosion of light from the Holocrons forces all occupants of the room back. The Holocrons float down to the floor, shattered glass around them. The crew of the Ghost starts to get up. Sabine Wren looks around.]
[Maul, disoriented, makes his way to his ship, laughing softly and maniacally]
He lives! [still laughing, Maul enters the cockpit of his ship and sits down] He... lives. [Maul pilots his ship away from the station, laughing madly]
We don't have the firepower to take on walkers.
Kanan Jarrus
What about the bombs we came here for?
KKalani
We have no cannon to fire the shells, otherwise I would have used them on you.
Kanan Jarrus
[wryly] Oh, thanks.
We're running out of time.
Ah! We roll them - the proton bombs. We roll them across the hangar into the feet of the walkers, and then we blast them.
KKalani
My battle droids are not accurate. However, you are, Master Jedi.
Kanan Jarrus
I don't understand.
KKalani
My droids will line up and fire at you and your apprentice. You two will then redirect their blaster bolts toward the shells more accurately, thus setting off more targets than my droids could hit alone.
Well, this takes trust to a whole new level.
