Master Yoda: Rys, always focused on the enemy, are you. For inspiration, look to yourself, and those beside you. Jek, concerned about weapons you are. Weapons do not win battles. Your mind, powerful it is. Outthink the droids, you can. Thire, rush not into fights; long is the war, only by surviving it, will you prevail. Clones you may be, but the Force resides in all life forms. Use it you can, to quiet your mind.
