A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 1822 - 1234: This Is Tatooine?

"No one opposes this?"

"Of course, but they were executed by the Tribunal."

"............"

Seeing the little boy answer so matter-of-factly, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan exchanged a glance.

"Do you think this is right?"

"I don’t know."

Faced with Qui-Gon Jinn’s question, the little boy shook his head.

"My mom and I used to be slaves, at that time I wished for Jedi Knights to come and liberate us. But no Jedi Knights ever came......"

Hearing this, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan’s expressions were somewhat awkward, but the little boy didn’t mind and continued speaking.

"But later, the Tribunal came, they freed us and killed those who enslaved us, and allowed us to live a life we couldn’t even imagine before. My dream was to become a Jedi Knight, but now I have changed my mind. Even if Jedi Knights are powerful, they don’t fight for Humans. But I want to fight for Humans, to eliminate those Aliens who oppress Humans, so I want to join the Tribunal in the future, and become a member of the Star Realm Army! To fight for the liberation of Humans!"

"........."

Hearing the boy’s words, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan exchanged a silent glance, then Qui-Gon Jinn forced a smile.

"Thank you, that’s all I wanted to ask."

"Goodbye, I hope you enjoy your time here."

The little boy waved cheerfully to the two and then turned and left. As Qui-Gon Jinn watched the boy’s figure disappear, his expression became much more serious.

"What do you think?"

"I...... Master, I don’t know what to say......"

Obi-Wan was also momentarily at a loss for words. From the perspective of a Jedi Knight, he believed what the boy said was wrong. After all, the Galactic Republic is a nation, and the Jedi Knights obviously cannot show favoritism by only protecting Humans and ignoring other Alien Races. However, he couldn’t refute the boy’s words either, as this boy had always been a slave, and the Jedi Knights did not save them, but the Tribunal did!

This...... is quite embarrassing.

"The situation is very serious."

Qui-Gon Jinn looked up again, gazing at the Gothic Cathedral-like building, his eyes heavy and serious. Previously, he thought that the Tribunal only posed a military threat to the Galactic Republic, but now it seems that even on a political level, it poses an unimaginable threat to the Galactic Republic!

Every race hopes to have a Guardian God, yet as the boy said, even as powerful as the Jedi Knights are, they cannot solely protect Humans because besides Humans, there are other Alien Races within the Jedi Order and naturally, the concerns of these races must also be considered.

Things like liberating the slave trade on Tatooine are technically what the Jedi Knights should do. Moreover, the Galactic Republic has anti-slavery laws, so both emotionally and rationally, they should act accordingly.

But the Jedi Knights can’t do that.

Why?

The reason is simple, it’s Hutt territory here. If the Jedi Knights conflict with the Hutts to liberate slaves, it would cause instability for the Republic, potentially leading to a further crisis.

But would those who are slaves care about this?

Of course not, even from Qui-Gon Jinn’s perspective, he couldn’t tell these slaves "for the stability of the Galactic Republic, please keep enduring your enslavement".

However, this is the limit for the Jedi Knights.

And it’s clear the Tribunal is not limited in this way.

The situation may be more complicated than they previously imagined.

Thinking about this, Qui-Gon Jinn silently sighed.

"Let’s go, and meet the Emperor here."

Then, he made his decision.
