Ben: "Is politics always like that? Why don't you both say what you mean?"
Jacen: "Then it wouldn't be politics, would it?"
Ben: "And why does everyone keep saying, 'Oh, I remember the Empire...'? Uncle Han says it was bad, and so does Chief Omas. If they're both afraid of the same thing, why are they on opposite sides?" [Jacen laughs] "I was only asking, Jacen."
Jacen: "I'm not laughing at you. It's just very refreshing to hear someone cut through the nonsense and ask real questions."
