So there's a negotiation between two warring planets (nice water planet and mean desert planet🙄🤮) and they're all disarming.
Captain Segaru moved to place his blaster there, but Viceroy Ferrol stilled his hand.
"The Jedi don't seem to have given up their magic swords."
The viceroy grimaced as he faced the Chancellor.
Chancellor Mollo did not step into the viceroy's verbal trap, though he did run his fingers through his tentacles.
"I assure you, Iram's delegation has already complied."
"I'm not talking about Iram. I talk of the Jedi."
The viceroy split the last word into two long syllables.
"As I understand it," Captain A'lbaran said, "they're more than weapons."
"Right you are, Captain," Master Roy explained, his soothing voice easing the tension in the room. "For Jedi, lightsabers are extensions of us and our connection to the Force."
"And yet still a sword," the viceroy countered. He knew exactly what he was doing, and he smirked the entire time.
"We would feel safer if the Jedi kept their trinkets," Queen Adrialla said coolly.
Gella frowned at the word "trinket." Masters Sun and Roy were often sent by the Order to negotiate on distant worlds, but this wasn't what she'd expected. This was letting all parties sink verbal teeth until they drew blood.
MY MAN FERROL IS LITERALLY CORRECT AND HE'S BEING PORTRAYED AS SO UNREASONABLE AND VIOLENT??? He's the one who wants LESS weapons and he's supposed to be the nasty fighter here? Or that he's playing the fool/bigot for not respecting the Jedi's culture?
Apparently the way to truly protect the second amendment is to turn it into the first and "explain" that your weapon is part of your religion.
So the Jedi get a special exemption to bear arms during a negotiation and still this Jedi girl has the nerve to be offended that the queen who's on her side uses a disparaging word. I'm all riled up LOL
