Today we popped Sami's Star Wars cherry on the conference room projector screen. A New Hope is better than I remember it being (i.e. not that good). I forgot Han Solo started out as such a jerk. But being naturally forgetful I also didn't realize we were accidentally watching one of the CGI'd versions. I like the 1977 release better without the extra dewbacks.


Han Solo: Marching into the detention area is not what I had in mind.
Luke Skywalker: But they're going to kill her!
Han Solo: Better her than me!
Luke Skywalker: [pauses for a moment, then leans in close to Han] She's rich.
Han Solo: Rich?
Luke Skywalker: Rich. Powerful.

spoilers for inheritance )
The longer I put off studying the lower my quiz mark tomorrow will be. And the more embarrassing the articles I end up writing will be. 

In the same vein as fairths above, this paragraph keeps rolling towards the forefront of my mind. If I ever mention not being to unsee something pleasant, yet the state of being unable to see it is preferable to being able to see it, no matter how pleasant it is, I'm probably thinking of this: 
The pain of that realization rolled through Qui-Gon, an unstoppable tidal wave, the awareness of an innocence lost. What had been a closed bud within him had burst into full flower and could never again return to its former shape. 

Crystallize is also my current favourite short Star Wars fic of all time. Similar to Inheritance its main themes include maturity and acceptance of a situation. PG-13. Obi Wan and Qui-Gon. An incredibly beautiful, peaceful fic. Remarkably angst-free.

And one more relating to whenever you see too much of yourself in someone.

Runaways V2 #11, page ~14

And maybe one more thing? 

No, I don't think so. Best to reserve judgement until later.
