A new amendment to the Security Act landed on Yoda’s desk, one that would place the Jedi under Chancellor Palpatine’s direct control. In the quiet of Yoda’s living space, the weight of the Republic’s future hung in the air as the holoreport flickered. Mace Windu was ready to act—to stop Palpatine from dismantling the Jedi Order. But Yoda urged caution: rushing in could lead them to disaster.
