So what is this objective truth, and why is not viewed objectively? Or indeed universally? Or indeed at all?

He's giving the Jedi equivalent of "All black people are lazy," with the added irony of doing exactly what he accuses the group he dislikes of doing, proving himself to be a hypocrite. It's the second worse line in the prequel trilogy, only behind, "Anakin, you're breaking my heart!" The entire pre-fight confrontation is just terribly written and acted.

I don't know where you said that? I missed that. Truth that isn't objective? News to me. If it's not objective it seems kind of pointless calling it 'truth' to me
