Short bits on Revan's thoughts on the Jedi Code during pivotal moments of his life. Because I'm bloody well bored out of my skull.
"There is no emotion, there is peace."
No, anger and outrage are not the things that drive him to go against the Council. The Jedi exist to keep balance, to keep peace. And that peace has been shattered. Billions cry out in pain and misery and it echoes through the Force. The Council must see this. It can't continue.
"There is no ignorance, there is knowledge."
The Council condemns it. They say he can't possibly understand the impact that war has on it participants, on Jedi. The way the Force resonates on a battle field as every life gives one final, defeated pulse before being snuffed out. But how can he be expected to understand? Understanding comes with experience and now that the opportunity presents itself to ignore it would be willful ignorance. And ignorance can only breed arrogance.
"There is no passion, there is serenity."
They say that the realities of it all will be too much. The stress will lead him to strong emotions that can only drag him down. That only a Jedi Master can cope with knowingly sending thousands of people to their death. But no Masters come, and so Revan will shoulder that burden, if he must.
"There is no chaos, there is harmony."
Every act, no matter how seemingly irrelevant or random, is dictated by the Force. That is what he's been taught, it must be true. And it's the Force that draws him, the Force that pulls him to help these people. Can the Council not feel it? Do they ignore it?
"There is no death, there is the Force."
But there is death. Billions, suffering. Dying. The Force beckons him, begs him, to make it stop. And he will. If the Council refuses to end this slaughter, he will. Others will come. Others will feel the cries. And together, they will put an end to this.
