“So tell me, what do you think a Jedi's most valuable skill is?”
Juisk spoke up almost immediatley.
"To preserve peac-"
He stopped for a moment, thinking. If the master had wanted a rote response, trained to him from his earliest days as a youngling, she would have found a holocron. No, this was, at least in his eyes, an invitation. More to express what he knew and believed than what the textbook told him.
"Our most valuable skill is use of the force itself. We are negotiators, mediators. But any trained diplomat can do this. We are peacekeepers, Planetary security is suited for such a task. We are guardians. But it is through the force, our skill and use of it, that we can excel in all of these roles.
He hesitated for a moment before going on.
"But the other skills that we train and use are equally important. Without our mastery of lightsaber forms, we could not protect as well as we do. Without negotiation skills we could not serve as mediators or diplomats. I suppose that my answer would be that the most valuable skill we have is to know how and when to use these skills."
