Should I stay? Or should I go? I want what's best for Padmé, what's best for the child. I want to protect them from this life of fear, of pain, of turmoil.
But the Jedi Order is all I've ever known.
That's not exactly true. I've known the life of a slave. But I don't like to remember it, so I quash that memory when I can, only keeping the precious ones of my mother laughing. So, in effect, the Order is all I've known. Which makes leaving harder.
I'm sure I could make it in the galaxy - I'm pretty resourceful. I'm not worried about that. But the life of politics, of the Senate is all that Padmé has known. She had a childhood, though, it's true, before ascending the throne. So she'll probably know how to raise a child, at least. So maybe we could do it. Go back to Naboo, be a real family without ties to the war.
Could we do it?
Could we leave this life behind?
