We did not kill Revan, however. That's not what I heard. But killing Revan is what you're famous for. So who killed Revan, then? Bastila: Our mission was to capture Revan, if possible. It was Malak who turned on his own master, firing upon Revan's ship while we were still on board it.
It was his desire to kill us and his master both. Thankfully we narrowly escaped the vessel as it exploded. So Malak did your job for you. What else did you expect from the Sith? But you would have killed Revan eventually, right? Bastila: True, I suppose. And yet the outcome of that battle was… unexpected. To all of us. Revan's end was… unforeseen. Bastila: As I said, we were there to capture Revan alive.
The Jedi do not believe in killing their prisoners. No one deserves execution, no matter what their crimes. Remember that Revan and Malak were once great Jedi. Heroes in every sense of the word. They demonstrate the danger of the dark side to us all. I'm sorry. We really shouldn't speak of this anymore. The memory of my confrontation with Revan is… painful. Let's return to the mission, please. According to Bastila, the Jedi wanted to capture Revan alive but were foiled when Malak betrayed his own master.
I'd like to know more about you, Bastila. Bastila: Yes, I suppose I can understand your curiosity, given the bond that connects us. Very well, I'll tell you a bit about myself. Tell me how you joined the Jedi, then. Bastila: I was found to be strong in the Force at a young age, as most Padawans are.
As a girl I was given to the Order to be trained. My family is still there, the last that I heard. I have had little contact with them, as it is discouraged. So the Jedi separates children from their families? Bastila: Relationships with family members are fraught with powerful emotions. Such extremes are to be avoided. Anger and hate are the worst, but even love can lead to folly.
That sounds idiotic. I would never agree to that. Bastila: The gift of the Force comes with a high cost. Sacrifice of one's emotional attachments is one of the prices a Jedi must be willing to pay.
The alternative is to fall prey to the dark side. And what's so wrong with that? Bastila: Please, you mustn't say things like that. The dark side is destruction and chaos, the opposite of all that gives the universe order and purpose. You have to understand this. You need to lighten up. Bastila: And you need to be more mindful of your responsibilities!
Have you any idea of the danger a fallen Jedi represents? Not only to yourself, but to others as well? Sounds like you're the one afraid of falling. Bastila: That is something every Jedi should be afraid of. Spare me the lecture. I'm not in the mood. Bastila: A lecture won't be much use if you aren't prepared to listen. I suppose it would be best if we didn't speak about this for a while.
Let's just return to our mission for now. You aren't allowed to love? Why wouldn't you be allowed to love? It just seems wrong not to be allowed to love. I don't see how falling in love could lead to the dark side, though. Bastila: Emotional entanglements can be dangerous. They can impair rational thought, they can lead to outbursts of uncontrolled emotion. A Jedi must be above such things. Don't you miss your family at all? Bastila: Like all who join the Order, I have learned to embrace the life I have chosen.
I had to let go of my attachments to my family. You don't sound very convinced. That must have been difficult. Bastila: It can be a hard lesson to learn. I was not on good terms with all of my family, but I do remember missing my father terribly for a very long time.
I don't need to hear your family history, thanks. Bastila: You were the one who asked to know more about me! Very well, if you have changed your mind then I suppose we should just get back to our mission. Who weren't you on good terms with? You and your father were close?
Bastila: Very close. I was only a little girl when I left my family, but I still remember him fondly. He was kind and gentle and doted on me. My mother, however, was different. Bastila: I was not on good terms with my mother. I was only a little girl when I left, but I was old enough to resent her and the way she treated my father.
She pushed my father into treasure hunting. I spent all my young life on ships traveling from one false lead to the next. She whittled away my father's entire fortune, and I hated her for it. I think she was relieved to give me to the Jedi, but my father was heartbroken. You never tried to get in touch with your father again? Bastila: A child is too young to understand the sacrifices that must be made.
It is better if they have no contact with their family once they are removed. Once I was older I realized the wisdom of this policy. A Jedi must do what is needed, personal desires notwithstanding. Love can only obscure and confuse the matter. You sound very sad when you say that. Are you saying you no longer feel love?
But if a Jedi were to love, surely it wouldn't be all bad. Bastila: Even a Jedi cannot always control the feelings of the heart. We must do our best to guard against it, no matter what the cost. But some sacrifices are harder than others. I… I do not wish to discuss this anymore. I would rather return to our mission. She was very adamant in her support of the Jedi's policy of severing all familial relationships, as emotional attachments are inherently dangerous to a Jedi.
You wish to talk to me? I've been watching you. Studying you closely to see what kind of progress you have made since your training at the hands of Master Zhar. I think we both know the real reason you've been watching me. Bastila: You never give up, do you? I admit I'm interested in you. I find you intriguing. Compelling, even. But it's not what you think.
You have a great gift. You have an awesome command of the Force, and I tremble when I think of how you might misuse it. I make you tremble? Do you get all tingly inside, too? Bastila: What? I… no! No, of course not! Not like that, anyway. In many ways you are… you are dangerous. You could be the savior of the galaxy; or you could bring untold destruction upon us all.
My progress? You've been grading me? I won't misuse my power, Bastila. Bastila: I've seen how you have resisted many temptations and continue to walk the path of the light side.
Very commendable, but I'm afraid you might stray from this path. Bastila: I've seen you give in to temptation and indulge your baser emotions on many occasions. I'm afraid you are on the path that leads to the dark side. Bastila: You need to see what the dark side represents in its entirety, for it is what we battle. Only the wisdom of a Jedi Master can truly explain this, but I will do my best to make you understand.
What are you trying to tell me? We're not going to go over this again, are we? Bastila: We must, for all our sakes. If you had the proper training under a true Master you would know all this. But because of our mission, I must be the one to try and help you understand.
Bastila: The dark side is not simply giving in to anger or temptation to use the Force to destructive ends. These things only lead to the dark side. The dark side grows stronger and more insidious the closer you draw to it. It begs you to surrender to it, to release all its terrible power… and it becomes harder and harder to resist. And once you stop resisting, it is too late. It twists you up inside and… and turns you into a mockery of everything you once stood for. You seem to know that temptation very well.
How can you know it is so terrible? Stop with the dramatics, already, I get the picture. Bastila: I am no less resistant to temptation than any other. I simply have the benefit of training that you do not.
But even the training of the Jedi might not be enough to save us. Bastila: You say you understand, but I'm afraid you are taking this too lightly. The power of the dark side can be… alluring.
Bastila: We need only to look at the atrocities which have been committed by those under its sway to understand the terrible, corrupting evil of the dark side. Millions dead, and far more suffering. What sort of person would you have to become to perform such deeds gladly?
I couldn't see myself ever doing such things. Perhaps it's just the reasoning for those acts you don't accept. Are you saying the light side is innocent of killing? I don't know. Bastila: And that is why the dark side is so insidious. If you are not careful, you do not even see each small step you take towards it until it is too late. Bastila: And how adept must one become at making excuses for one's actions, if suffering is the result? How long before you stop making excuses at all?
Bastila: One who serves the light side does not strike down an innocent. We take arms against the dark side and the injustice that follows it only. Bastila: Neither do I, and I hope I never do. Bastila: I feel the end of our quest is near. Soon we will discover the location of the Star Forge; though what will happen next is Bastila: I've been watching you. I've seen how you have resisted great temptations and continue to walk the path of the light side. Very commendable. I've seen you give in to temptation and indulge your baser emotions on many occasions.
I couldn't have done it without your help. I don't need a lecture from you. Not now, not ever. Don't worry. The dark side has no sway over me. I'm sorry, Bastila. I will try to do better. Bastila: My role in what you will become is a small one. I can only give you the warnings taught to me by my own master, ultimately it is your own actions that will decide your fate.
Bastila: The path of the light is a difficult one to walk. We might not even see the shadows until we are surrounded and can never find our way back. Bastila: It is so easy to think that we would never fall prey to such a horror; that we have unlimited control, vigilance and foresight.
If only that were true. The Sith have become powerful because there are many Jedi who have succumbed to the lure of the dark side and joined their cause. What greater weapon is there than to turn an enemy to your cause? To use their own knowledge against them? We are weakened while they are strengthened. So we must harden our hearts and do whatever is required to fight against the dark side. Even when the battle becomes wearying.
Do whatever is required? Such as? Must we keep discussing this? Bastila: I don't know. The vision of our future is clouded by shadows cast from the dark side.
But I sense something ominous lurking in those shadows. Bastila: No, I suppose not. I have spoken more than enough of the dark side. It is up to you whether you heed my words or not. Bastila: But words alone cannot save one from the dark side. Come, we should continue with the task at hand.
When the time comes I only hope we are all strong enough to do what we must. She has been studying your progress carefully, and had much to say about your actions and the perils of the dark side. Why did the Council send me with you on this mission? Bastila: Why? I could not accomplish this on my own, I need the aid of others — especially one who is strong in the Force.
The bond between us made you a natural choice. Besides, the events on Taris proved that the Force wanted to bring us together for this mission, and there is little left to chance when the Force is involved. Is that not enough for you? If the Force wants us to be together, why do you keep resisting my undeniable charms? Bastila: I said we were brought together for our mission: to stop Malak. I hardly think the Force would be pushing us towards a romantic involvement when the fate of the galaxy is at stake!
Please try to stay focused. I doubt the Council would approve if they knew we were busy discussing our mutual attraction when we should be saving the galaxy from Malak. Mutual attraction? I knew you were interested in me! I know our mission is important. Bastila: Mutual attraction?
I never said… it's just an expression! Don't let this complicate things. The Council explained all this quite clearly. It just seems odd they would send me off without a Master to guide me. I just don't trust the Council and their motives. And that's it? That's enough reason for you to accept all this? Bastila: I admit, there were times that I wondered if this is more than just a mission to stop Malak. There were times when I wondered if this was also a way for the Council to test my own abilities.
I get the feeling that there's more going on than I know. Bastila: I wondered if the Council wanted to see how I would help and guide you on our quest. I wondered if they were testing me to see if I was ready to become a Jedi Master myself. And then I realized how foolish such thoughts were. As the Council explained, sending a Master in our group would only have drawn unwanted attention from the Sith. The fate of the galaxy is at stake, the Council would not risk it merely to test me.
They calculated the risks and in the end chose the only option available. I guess that makes sense. I'm still not convinced.
Bastila: You must learn to trust in the wisdom of the Council. Your destiny will come in its appointed time. You mustn't be so impatient. You're right. I suppose we should get back to the mission now. Bastila: Come on, come, let's move on… there's much to be done.
You're the one who thought this was her big audition for 'Masterhood'! Another lecture. This never gets old. I admit, I had a moment of foolish pride. But I'm over it. Now I am focused on my true responsibilities. Bastila: I am simply trying to help you and complete this mission, and yet you battle me at every turn! It's fun. Bastila: Fun?! Driving me insane is your idea of a good time? Hey, you started this.
Hey, you brought this on yourself. Bastila: I started it? You were the one who brought up the issue of the Council! You were the one who questioned our mission! You're the one who mocked me for thinking I was being tested!
Lighten up. I'm only joking. Remember your self-control. I don't know what you're talking about. Bastila: I must admit: I simply don't know how to deal with someone like you. Bastila: You… you are a very odd man, do you know that? I simply don't know how to deal with you. All I want to do is help you, but you seem determined to drive me mad. Complain all you want, but I know you love it. I'm not so bad.
You just have to learn to accept me for what I am. Bastila: I don't know if I should be outraged that you keep joking about serious matters, or I should be grateful that you can always lighten the mood. Bastila: Unfortunately it isn't as easy as that. But your point is well taken. Journal Entry Added: Bastila You've asked Bastila why the Jedi Council sent the two of you — neither fully trained — on this dangerous mission. Based on her answer, Bastila either has blind faith in the Council or she simply prefers to avoid the question.
You look like you have something to say. I have been trying to come up with the best way to say this for some time, but I suppose I should just come out and say it. The truth is, I have come to depend on you. Not just for the sake of the mission, but for my own sake as well. I am glad you are with us. Is that a compliment? From you? What was that? I think I'm going deaf. You better say it again. You made that sound very painful for you to admit.
Bastila: Now you're teasing me. You know very well what I said. I'm still reeling from the shock. Was that a compliment? It's just that you sounded so pained saying it.
Bastila: Well, yes. Surely that is not so surprising. Bastila: Did I? I am trying to be sincere, here. It occurred to me that I may have been too critical of you. Too demanding, at times. Too little, too late.
You're kidding, right? Thank you. I appreciate the gesture. Bastila: No, I'm not. Why must you make this so difficult for me? Can't you just accept a simple compliment?
Bastila: I am trying my best. You are not making this easy for me, you know. Maybe I was just distracted by the grudging manner in which it was given. You can keep your thanks. I don't need it Thank you for the thought. Your compliments need some work, I think. And when have you ever made things easy for me? Is there nothing I can do to make it up to you? I would rather we were friends. How close a friend would you like to be? I'd like that, I suppose. You could have fooled me.
Just leave me alone Bastila: I About any man. It isn't permitted. I am a Jedi, I must resist these temptations. But I still want to consider you a friend. We could Then leave me alone. For good. Bastila: I know my manner can be a bit taciturn.
I know you must be getting sick of my lectures about the dark side and Bastila: I spent all my years being hounded by my instructors. Being told so often how gifted and important I was until I was sick of it. I remember when I was younger I used to swear that I would never become as self-absorbed and stodgy as the Jedi Masters. It's ironic, really. Don't forget edgy, critical and overly secretive. You're not self-absorbed or stodgy.
Maybe, but you don't need to be like that. Bastila: Yes, well Bastila thought her mother urged her father to go on hunts. As a result, Bastila grew up resentful of her mother, and the two of them had an uneasy relationship. When Helena sent Bastila to join the Jedi Order to provide her with a better life than that of the daughter of treasure hunters, Bastila took that as a sign that her mother did not want her around.
Over the following years, Helena and her husband continued their treasure hunting. Helena remembered her daughter with fondness, showing holograms of her to one of her husband's employees, a Twi'lek woman named Malare. At some point during this time, Helena developed a fatal disease.
Her husband, in order to pay for treatments, desperately continued his search for treasure to raise the money. In the course of these hunts he traveled to Tatooine searching for krayt dragon pearls , and was killed by a canyon krayt dragon in the Eastern Dune Sea. When Helena spoke to Malare again, she was desperate to find her daughter.
Helena's attitude had raised the ire of several patrons of the Anchorhead cantina , including the Duros Maana Demknot , who stormed out just as Bastila and the amnesiac Revan arrived, and was able to direct them to her. Bastila reluctantly met with Helena, but doubted that she was truly ill, and after a brief argument learned of her father's death.
Helena asked Bastila to retrieve a holocron belonging to Bastila's father from the krayt dragon's lair. After slaying the dragon, the two Jedi retrieved it, but Bastila was reluctant to give it back to her mother. What do you need help on? Cancel X. Topic Archived.
