I'm not saying he knowingly lied to you. The first thing you have to understand as a spy is that the stories people tell you will never match, for everyone has their own truth. And your own truth, or your perception of the truth, is biased as well. I'm sure Palpatine and Thrawn believe they're doing what is best for the galaxy. It just so happens they're wrong, and we need to stop them.
There's always been slavery in my galaxy, it's nothing new. Not in the Republic, the government they toppled, but even the Republic didn't care as long as it happened outside their borders.
But to rule as tyrants with such a complete chokehold over so many worlds, that's It's not new either, actually, but something we haven't seen for a thousand years at least.
For now, we need a friend who won't shoot us for being terrorists. Maybe someone who helps us prepare for the worst case. If that day comes? I'd like to have you at my side.
