"The knee-jerkers, yes. Or imprison me. But after the amount of time I've spent in carbonite, I have had quite enough of that and they'd find me fighting as hard as if they were trying to kill me. As for how the fight would go..." He gives Anakin an almost savage smile.

"The last time a Sith was seen to their knowledge was about a thousand years ago at a battle between Sith and Jedi forces. The Sith involved did something intended to take out as many Jedi with them as possible, according to my reading. And none of them were Lords of the Dark Council. Which I was. Any Jedi taking me on is in for a nasty surprise indeed. Before you ask, the Dark Council ruled the Sith Empire and we were just below the Emperor in authority. You don't get on the Council by being either stupid or easy to kill." Or for that matter, nice.

At least knowing that Garth'zel's been in carbonite for over a thousand years should help explain why everyone Garth'zel knew is dead.
