Cere Junda Quotes

Cal Kestis: I keep worrying about something bad happening to one of you.

Cere Junda: It’s good to acknowledge your fear. But don’t let it determine your path. Focus on the moment. Choose your direction and act with certainty. And trust that, whatever the odds, you’ll pull through. Cal. Trust yourself.

Cal Kestis: Trust in the Force.

Cere Junda: Exactly.

Cere Junda: I hear you’ve been busy making yourself the Empire’s most wanted.

Cal Kestis: I wanted to prove to the galaxy that the Empire isn’t invulnerable. That you can resist. That you have to fight if things are gonna get better. But then they just listen to the propaganda and they pretend they’re free anyways.

Cere Junda: Hmm. Well… You chose a hard path.

Cal Kestis: Yeah, and it hasn’t made a difference.

Cere Junda: We’re a part of a network, known as the Hidden Path. We provide safe passage and new identities to those who have been persecuted by the Empire.

Cal Kestis: Hunted by the Empire like… like Jedi survivors?

Cere Junda: Very few of us remain. But yes. And Force sensitives and those who help them.

Cal Kestis: Why didn’t you tell me?

Cere Junda: You never asked.

Cal Kestis: You’re rebuilding the Temple Archives.

Cere Junda: Well, we’re trying. As long as this knowledge remains, the legacy of the Jedi survives.

Cal Kestis: It’s incredible.

(Flashback…)

Cal Kestis: I don’t know what else to say. Cere, I thought…

Cere Junda: No, you didn’t think. You perceived a threat and reacted.

Cal Kestis: If the Order had reacted faster we’d still have a Republic. The Empire, the Haxion Brood, half the galaxy wants us dead.

Cere Junda: Yes, the odds are against us. But they will always be against us. Cal, you can’t fight your way out of some situations.
