Favorite quote from Out of the Shadows by Justina Ireland:
"I felt the same way about them when we were on Tiikae. Good people, but maybe a little... detached from the struggles of the frontier. I can tell you that the Jedi are very, very bad at change. At adapting to the world around them. Jedi are brave and determined and heroic, but none of that amounts to a week of rations without the ability to perceive the truth of the galaxy around you. Their Force might lead them to a larger truth, and I'm glad they're standing with the Republic against the Nihil, but they just aren't like us."
"What are you saying?" Syl asked.
"I think that maybe they cut themselves off from too much of life, so that the things they fight for are ideas, not people. It's not a bad thing. I guess that must just be how it is when you see all of the galaxy and its secrets laid out before you in distinct degrees of good and bad." (Spoken by Jordanna Sparkburn on pg. 300)
