do you think that is a wise use of manpower during these stressful times?
that's outrageous! the treaty forbids the trade federation from building up an army. what are they doing?!
the commerce guilds are preparing for war.  there can be no doubt of that.

with all due respect for the jedi order, two hundred will be no match for hundreds of thousands of battle droids.
