[Argh, this is so frustrating. Ezra rakes his fingers through his hair, half tempted to pull on it. Part of him wants to laugh that he's even having this argument at all, that he's arguing for the hope of good in Darth Vader, but part of him...
Part of him wants to believe that the Dark Side doesn't have to win on any battleground - even the battleground of Darth Vader's soul. Now that the idea is there, presented by Anakin himself and supported by Obi-Wan, and by Ezra's own experience with Maul, not just pulled out of thin air, he can't bring himself to let it go.]
Leia, I've got to try. Even if it's just to say that I did try. I want to beat the Sith as much as you do. [His voice hardens.] Trust me, I want them to pay. But if I have a chance to stop those atrocities before they can happen, I'm taking it. A Jedi's mission is to protect life first, not seek revenge.
Besides, if he stops being Vader, then that counts as destroying that Sith.
