Marspa
this ancient Jedi Master and his Padawan, Imina, traveled the galaxy for many years together. Quite often, Imina asked questions about the various ways in which the Jedi Knights had to handle their own tenets, based on the situation. They witnessed Hutt brutality against their slaves on Nal Hutta, as well as domestic violence on Ord Mantell. When Master Marspa failed to step in to help the slaves, but intervened on Ord Mantell, he explained to Imina that the Jedi Knights had to accede to the laws and customs of the planets on which they worked. He explained it this way: "For a Jedi to interfere with a culture on their homeworld would have been to pass judgement on them on behalf of the Republic."
