( Yes, I see Gallador as a former idealist, who wanted Jedi to heal the mess that Republic was turning into, and became curious about the Darkside.
But then the Darkside corrupted him, and now his personality is a bit messed up- part of him still believes in his ideas, but he grew a bit cynical too- all those speeches justify his desire for greater power and a slight regret of what he has turned into.)
Yeah right! You would have to outthink him first.

Scovione, of coursem, always told Gallador that no one person, or even group of people, had the right to try and dictate the terms of how the Galaxy is run to others- democracy must be respected within reasonable limits. Gallador could not accept the Order tied to a corrupt system- it is an all too sympathetic route to the Dark Side, altrusitic improvement turned into a desire for domination.

Anyone remember the name of Gundark's homeworld?
Rand fell because he found the Sith to be more interesting, and experimented with the Dark Side of the Force. Also, frustrations and complications in training Padawans.
"No, Scovione did not ruin your business," Rand says. "Business ruined itself. Sannan...difficult person, did not take to the Jedi way..."
Rand thinks to himself of past allies in the Order, and past pupils. Three pupils did he take, one at a time; none had survived to Knighthood.
"Vataan went super nova, when I was just a lad," Rand recalls. "Dreadful incident. I was surprised that Kellan kept on her path...though, none where surprised when I left mine."
With a sudden realisation of what all the buzzing noises in his head means Rah blinks out of his drug induced stupor.
He looks out of the nearest view port and seeing the ship approaching for planet fall he jumps up and heads for the cockpit.
Then keeping his emotions in check he says "Hey Tanic how are we doing?" He watches over Tanics shoulder at his hands, how they work the controls making note of which controls he uses to adjust the ships vector.
He lifts his arm to scratch absently at his head then suddenly using nerve strike lashes out with his elbow into the side of Tanics head at the temple to knock him senseless. He makes a grab for the controls that will bring the ship up and away from the planet whilst saying "sorry pal, if we land on this planet we're all going to die!"
There's really not much time for a debate. Rah just hit Tanic whilst he was trying to make his final approach, causing Tanic to flip the ship over.
As this is an extremely delicate part of re-entry, this sends the ship totally out of control.
Alarm signals start blaring. Your gyroscope has losts its bearing and the ship is now in a spinning death dive!
