" The Jedi shackle themselves in chains of obedience: obedience to the Jedi Council; obedience to their Masters; obedience to the Republic. Those who follow the light side even believe they must submit themselves to the Force. They are merely instruments of its will, slaves to a greater good. "

― Drew Karpyshyn , The Darth Bane Series (Star Wars: Darth Bane #1-3)
