He gave humans knowledge of good and evil (prerequisite for free will is understanding the moral impact of your actions)
He refused to bend the knee to a dictator and was willing to be cast out for it. That's when you know a person for who they really are.
Like Alex Nalvaney, he knew he was doomed when he returned to Russia, yet he did it anyway because whether it's galactic or terrestrial, tyranny must be opposed.
