[For once, Ezra's speechless. His face goes blank, not really sure what to say to all... that. Look, he was a Lieutenant Commander in the Rebellion and did a few weeks at an Imperial academy, but this sorta stuff is way over his head. He's never even given the economy much thought other than he knows Lothal had issues during the Clone Wars, the Empire claimed they were there to help, and then his planet was drained of resources. The galactic economy? Now that just makes his head spin.]
I guess my answer is... no? Or. I don't know. I think things would work out. Somehow. Remember, the hope thing! Yeah...
[What was it Kanan and Ahsoka told him? That the Jedi weren't supposed to be involved with the rest of the galaxy and all its wars? That always seemed like bantha fodder to him, but this is one case where he thinks maybe it's better off if the Jedi aren't involved. He'll stick with the Force stuff. Right! Force stuff! Thrawn can't look all smart if he brings the discussion back to that!]
None of this even matters if Palpatine's able to control the Force the way he was planning to. Did he... did he tell you what he showed me on the Chimaera? He gave me a chance to bring my parents back to life. To save them. To live in a world where I never lost them.
[The same chance he had with Kanan. He knew it didn't mean resurrecting someone from the dead, only choosing a different path. But that power alone was terrifying.]
I don't think he's able to do anything like that on his own. Not yet. But he's getting closer. All he needs is someone else to open the door. I can't worry about what'll happen after the Empire's defeated. As long as he's alive, in some form or another, the galaxy will never be safe.
Once I defeat the Sith, you can spend every cycle telling me about economics and militarism and all the things I should've considered. Sound good?
