"If you're looking for a history lesson on the development of Sith and Jedi, I can pull up a holo," Edwon said. He shrugged lightly, because while he did know some of it - as much of it as was available to regular people - he'd never been too interested. In the end, it was politics. "But if you present your enemy as your complete opposite, it's easier to justify attacking them. Your way is the right way, and theirs is a threat."

And the Jedi and Sith did love fighting, and they particularly loved dragging everyone else into their war. He doubted it would ever change. If the Sith or the Jedi disappeared, someone else would replace them, and conflict would continue.

Of course, saying all this was tantamount to treason, according to some, but Edwon had never kept his opinions as secret as he should. And he suspected that all of this was what Jadus wanted to hear, and right now he was the more immediate threat to be dealt with. It was easier to stay on his good side, if he had one.

On the other hand, just "staying on someone's good side" was a boring way to live. "You don't actually seem that much different from them. Your arrogance is the same."
