It was a wise decision to surrender.
I didn't have much choice.
Oh, nonsense! You could have chosen to let your people die. However... you chose to be a Jedi. Predictable. You follow a long history written by the Jedi where they chose what they believe to be morally correct, instead of what is... strategically sound.
And yet, the Jedi have survived.
(shrugs) Mm. The Jedi once numbered in the thousands. What's left are a scattered, frightened lot, mostly beaten and in hiding, or poorly trained children like... yourself. I must admit, the mysteries of the Force are an enigma to me. But for all those abilities... all the power... the Jedi lacked the vision for how to wield it.
The Force isn't a weapon! But you'll never understand that.
Oh, I don't have to. It was not my intention to utterly destroy Lothal, but that is inevitable now. (gestures at part of his art collection) These are a few of the artifacts I have gathered from your home world. I saved what I could. I have even taken some of Sabine Wren's work. She's quite talented... or, was quite talented.
(angrily) You think you can take whatever you want! Things you didn't make, didn't earn; things you don't even understand! You don't deserve to have this art, or Lothal.
Who deserves what is irrelevant. What matters is... who has power. But, that is... something the Jedi won't teach you, so I'll take you to someone who will.
