tatooine_doofus"Artoo, I swear that if you play Luke Skywalker and the Dragon of Tatooine one more time, I will lock you in a room with Threepio and tell him that you want to hear his list of six million forms of communication," Luke snapped, looking up from his computer.
Artoo let out a low whistle.
"No, you can't sell copies to my friends, either," Luke replied.
Which reminded him...

RE: About that retirement thing...
About a month back, I resigned my commission from the Rogues, figuring I could do more good restoring the Jedi if my time wasn't being taken up being a snubjockey for one the most annoying squadrons in the galaxy (I say with love, Jaina and Gavin. Not so much love if you've hacked into my communications, Janson...). Turns out that I wasn't exactly resigning from the military as I'd planned.
They promoted me. I'm now General Skywalker, in charge of the New Republic (we have a new name! How spiffy are we?) Rapid Response Task Force.
AND ALL OF THE OTHER GENERALS THINK I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE I'M A JEDI AND I SOOOOOO DON'T.
So. How are you all?
--Luke
PS: If Artoo tries to get you to buy one of several (sigh) movies that have been made about me, DON'T DO IT.

I can't eat peanut butter anymore and I'm getting fat and LUKE, WHY ARE COMMERCIALS SO SAD?
AND SO IS YOUR EMAIL. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU AND WE'RE OUT OF TISSUES, LUKE.

Hi, Rory!
I don't know why commercials are so sad! Want some of ours instead? They're not sad...just excessively random. And you probably won't want any of the products....

Congratulations on the promotion, General! I'm sure you'll do FINE. No pressure!
Tell Artoo I'm willing to swap some choice footage of Rikku for whatever he has to offer.

Nothing big, just a gremlin bite. Thought she was a superhero. Of course, if you're not INTERESTED...

Re: About that retirement thing...
Please tell me you get a General hat. And those things for your shoulders with the fringe.

Re: About that retirement thing...
NO HAT. And we don't do fringe, we do shiny plastic...button things. Limited budget.

Re: About that retirement thing...
Oooooh, shiny buttons. Niiiiice. Still, you should have an important General hat. Like Napoleon.

So the only thing different between me and Napoleon is a stupid hat and a stomach full of cheese?

Re: About that retirement thing...
Just what I've always wanted, really. To be a general at TWENTY. And all of these people keep looking at me like I have the answers.

Re: About that retirement thing...
I'd tell you to cheat and steal the teacher's answers, but you wouldn't listen anyway.
You're very trustable and you want the best for people. These things make a good general. Just lay off the boring inspirational speeches and you should be okay.

Re: About that retirement thing...
My speeches tend to be more along the lines of "DUCK!" and "NOT THAT WAY." Han says that if he and Lando could be generals, there can't be much to it.

Re: About that retirement thing...
Kinda boring, actually.
Okay, that's mostly a lie, but there's maybe some Evil coming, and I need to figure out what to do about it. Ethically speaking.

Of course you've seen them. You know your dad got a cut of the proceeds of his?
