the contractor was right personal politics do play a part in the decision to accept/decline a job. the size of the part varies from individual to individual though

There is passion, yet there is peace
Through passion I gain strength and knowledge
Through strength and knowledge I gain victory
Through victory I gain peace and harmony
Through peace and harmony my chains are broken
There is no death, there is the force and it shall free me
Through passion I gain strength and knowledge
Through strength and knowledge I gain victory
Through victory I gain peace and harmony
Through peace and harmony my chains are broken
There is no death, there is the force and it shall free me

Well, I mean... if my government came and told me: \"We want you to help us build a new weapon,\" (not that I'm qualified, but you get the gist) then I would turn them down flatly. There is not only no need for more weapons, but I don't want to promote the idea of weapons solving issues.
But, knowing the Empire the way that generally everyone does, wouldn't they tend to press-gang people who were reluctant into service? The greater good would lead them to death one way or another, wouldn't it?
Complex issue, but the overly-simplistic response as Jay steals sandwiches in the store (yes, eating it without paying for it is technically stealing) has a really good comedic punch to it. Wow, I'm way over-thinking this.
Let's just laugh and not analyze it to death, eh?
