Indeed, he had forgotten that the Tribunal had always been blatant human supremacists, and it had never changed!
"And to be honest, even if we make it public, most of the people probably wouldn’t care..."
Another Jedi Knight sighed silently. As she said, if it were the original Galactic Republic, then once they made this public, most citizens of the Galactic Republic would oppose it.
But now?
Even though the Alien Races were the majority, they were forcibly reduced to a minority by the Tribunal alone!
With fewer people, naturally, their voice also diminished. And for most mbers of humanity and other humanoid races, as long as they followed the Tribunal’s principles and confird if they were human, they could breathe easy if they t the criteria.
Naturally, they wouldn’t be idle enough to oppose the Tribunal.
In fact, during the civil war, a similar situation had occurred. Everyone knew Tatooine was the territory of the Tribunal, but they also knew the Tribunal only accepted humans and Subhuman Races. So many humans and Subhumans fled to Tatooine to seek refuge... After all, in the face of life and death, one’s own life is the most important.
Moreover, there was reproductive isolation between different races, so there wasn’t an issue of how two cross-race families would manage. Most were families with children in tow.
One could say that now, for the majority of humans and humanoid races in the Galactic Republic, they might be sowhat dissatisfied with the Tribunal’s brutality, but as direct beneficiaries, they... seemingly had no special reason to oppose.
Practically speaking, the cake was only so big. To divide the cake, either you make the cake bigger, or you decrease the number of people sharing it.
For instance, if there were eight people dividing a cake, then if you slay seven of them, wouldn’t you have a big cake all to yourself?
That’s exactly what the Tribunal did.
If it’s humans dividing the cake, that’s fine. Aliens have no right to the table.
Oh, they can be served on the table, that’s fine.
"As it stands, it’s apparent that Chancellor Palpatine and the Tribunal are colluding with each other."
Soon, everyone moved past that awkward topic and started discussing the current situation again.
"I think it’s likely that the Tribunal is coercing Chancellor Palpatine. If the Tribunal is to achieve its goals, it undoubtedly needs mbers inside the Galactic Republic to help. It’s probably for this reason they reached out to Chancellor Palpatine, and in the face of the Tribunal’s might, Chancellor Palpatine likely has no choice."
"But even if we know this, what can we do? Tatooine is not a place we can just walk into!"
Now, everyone had decided to make the Tribunal their primary target of action. After all, from the perspective of these Jedi Knights, the Tribunal was the mastermind behind all this, so according to their logic, once the Tribunal was defeated, the cloud hanging over the Galactic Republic would dissipate!
The problem is, how to deal with the Tribunal?
Assassinations are the forte of Jedi Knights, but it also depends on the place. Tatooine is the territory of the Tribunal. Jedi Knights entering there is akin to seeking death. Moreover, no one knows the exact location of the Tribunal; Tatooine is rely one of its bases.
"I have so news."
At this mont, the Jedi Knight who previously brought the call records spoke up.
"According to my investigation, in ten days, Chancellor Palpatine will host a celebration for the victory over the Independent Federation and in mory of the warriors who died in the war. The Great Judge of the Tribunal will also attend. As long as we seize this opportunity to strike and kill him, then it’ll be settled!"
"How strong is that Great Judge?"
"I’m not sure, but we must be prepared."
Initially, when Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan went to Tatooine, they did indeed experience the Tribunal’s power, but they only reported it to the Jedi Council. To avoid complications, the Jedi Council did not tell others about it, leading to the Jedi Knights now being completely unaware of the Tribunal’s true strength.
However, even if they knew, they probably wouldn’t change their decision.
Because they are fighting for the Galactic Republic, for freedom, for all those who love peace!
They will never lose!
