Recurring Theme: I Shouldn’t Laugh But I Can’t Help It
LOL. OK, first off, I love Sheev’s observation here. Secondly, I love every Evil Guy Conversation in Star Wars ever. Thirdly, I am dying because “having a robot arm IS TACKY, he should have learned to fight with one hand LIKE A GENTLEMAN” is just so absolutely ridiculously evil AND snobby AND partially just confusing that I am just…dead. I hate this. I love it. I have a very complicated relationship with Star Wars.
I’M ALREADY WEEPING AND I’M NOT EVEN HALFWAY THROUGH THIS. I’M NOT GONNA MAKE IT.

Not only did George approve it, he literally LINE EDITED THAT BOOK. Every single line that was in that book was personally vetted by George Lucas.
The dragon reminds him, every night, that someday he will lose Obi-Wan. He will lose Padme. Or they will lose him.
GEORGE LUCAS SAW THAT PARAGRPH AND WENT, “YEP, SOUNDS GOOD.”
