"Welcome to your final, everyone," Anakin said, putting exam papers onto everyone's desk. "Of all of my many ethics classes, you have been one of them."

Thanks for that, Anakin.

"Enjoy your holiday break. Try not to be unethical now that you've had this course."

Question 2

[sith_happened]

You have a friend whose homeworld has long since been embroiled in a civil war. The war has gone on for generations, and there appears to be no end in sight. However, your friend and some of their companions back home believe they can put a stop to it by getting in between the warring factions. Since you have powers or skills that they do not, they ask for your help. Do you intervene, despite having only one, biased, second-hand account of the war and what might be fueling it? Or do you refuse, and potentially abandon your friend to a very dangerous situation?

a) You go and fight. You're loyal to your friend, and don't want to see them or their world suffer. You'll sort out the complexities later.
b) You go, but you only provide support, such as setting up a hospital or attempting to mediate between the factions.
c) You try to reason with your friend. Are they sure they can simply fix something that has been broken for so many generations? Perhaps they need to take a step back and find another way to solve the problem.
d) You refuse to intervene at all. It isn't your fight.

Jo found herself stuck on this question and wavered between a and b. She eventually decided to go with B as she figured that was the safer option and she would still be providing support to her friend in that scenario.
