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.

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?

PS: If Artoo tries to get you to buy one of several (sigh) movies that have been made about me, DON'T DO IT.

Re: About that retirement thing...
Is this a protection thing or a payback thing?

Re: About that retirement thing...
It's not about payback. He and I, we're...okay. Not great, but okay. He's happy. This would just make him feel guilty and possibly ruin his life.
Plus, I'm not sure he'd let me do what might have to be done.

Re: About that retirement thing...
Thank you. Even if I don't want to go, I know I have to, because, yeah. For that you get a hat. Fur or fringe?

I suppose "neither" isn't one of my options, huh?

Re: About that retirement thing...
It's always an option, but finding one with buttons will be really tough. I might have to get out the bedazzler.

But it sounds so much more reassuring than telling you to be worried about a hat.

Excellent point. Not very General Skywalker of me.
