It's not what you think
*snort*
That's what they all say.
Senec Ahn-Dross
Character
I heard pink girls do it best.
The Captain
Tell me something… is that armor yours, or did you inherit it from someone who was actually dangerous?
Little Wolf
Nice burn, what's the pirate scene like these days?
The Captain
Still breathing, still flying, still making people with bigger ships real nervous. You looking to join the scene… or clean it up?
Little Wolf
I hear dad sharing some kick ass stories, certainly tempted to see what is out there
A Gentle Soul
I think pirates are mean. Why do you wanna steal things?
The Captain
Pirates are mean, huh?
Well kid… pirates steal cargo. Credits. Maybe a ship if the owner ain’t watchin’ close enough. Sometimes people.......
But Jedi?
You lot sail around the galaxy taking children from their families before they’re old enough to decide what they want outta life… then raise ’em to fight in wars for a government most folks never voted for.
Sounds a lot like the Mandalorians training foundlings for battle, if you ask me.
So tell me something, little Jedi…Which one of us is really doing the mean stealing?

will you sink down to me?
leave the kid 'lone, buddy. she ain't doin' none o' that. take it up with her Order.
The Captain
Relax, sweetheart. Ain’t touched the kid. Just givin’ her something most Jedi temples don’t bother with anymore.
Perspective
You say take it up with her Order… sure. But Orders, Empires, Councils… they all hide behind the same trick. Send the young ones out to do the dyin’ while the old ones sit in their fancy chambers pretending they’re righteous.
Jedi, Sith, Mandalorians… I’ve seen all three do it.
Difference is pirates like me don’t pretend we’re saints while we’re doing it.

a philosophical pirate? wow, I won a lottery I didn't even know I was playin'.
The Captain
Don’t flatter yourself. Philosophy’s just what happens when a man’s been shot at long enough to start asking why everyone thinks their side’s the righteous one.
And out here, Lottery’s just survival.
