Okay, I've got to add another one here, because as preachy and dragging as the "How to design a prosthetic..." installment of that has been and as loosely as the characterization of individuals and the Empire itself are connected to canon, it also has some great little moments, like this one between former Outer Rim kids (Underground Railroad slave runner turned Head Engineer) Luke 'Lars' and (pirate hunter recently promoted to Admiral over the twitching wishes-he-was-a-corpse of a traitor) Firmus Piett, and lifelong Coreworlder (General) Max Veers:
Because Luke is as much a precious cinnamon bun as ever, even if that cinnamon bun also has the bite of a desert rat. Literally.
Quote:‘You attempted to kill someone by giving them an infection?’ Veers asked flatly, something deadening in his eyes as he glanced between Lars and Piett.
Lars gave the General a strange look and shook his head slowly. ‘No, I attempted to kill someone by tearing out their throat with my teeth,’ Lars corrected slowly, and Piett watched in increasing amusement as those words visibly registered with Veers like a slap to the face. ‘I succeeded in killing them through an infection when they got away,’ Lars continued, giving the man a strange look. ‘Are you okay, General Veers? You don’t look too good.’
Because Luke is as much a precious cinnamon bun as ever, even if that cinnamon bun also has the bite of a desert rat. Literally.
