Thank you!

Though it is consistent with your characterization of Anakin. When I read the scene a second time over it reminded me, frightingly so, of the scene where Anakin tells Leia that he did no wrong in marrying Padme. Both times he's admiting to something he KNOWS the listener will disaprove of, both times he uses his physical affection (intimidation) to help convince them that he's right. The difference is that where Leia intuitively distrusts/hates Anakin/Darth Vader, Obi-Wan believes/loves him fully.

Wow, that's a really great point. I hadn't put those two scenes together in my head, but they do have a lot in common. Thank you.

Wanted to comment that your 3CPO a couple of chapters back (when Anakin is poking out for his memories) was incredible; I could hear his voice speaking, especially when he exclaims that he certainly doesn't want to be conscious and see his insides. As someone who's loved 3CPO since she was a little girl, I was very happy!

Thank you! I really do find C3PO a lot of fun. He's a very real character, and he and Artoo really do bring up (to me) the question of how 'alive' the droids are, because they are so full of life.

Complaint: in many of the chapters the characters think, "we're almost there at the temple!!" This works at first to build up tension, but with every chapter that passes with more and more interaction... I feel like the story could use less of those comments. It distracts from appreciating what's happening on the ship NOW, which is plenty interesting.

You are so very right. The story keeps getting more complicated on me (seriously, I would have sworn that they'd have been at the Temple five parts ago, and yet... they are still not there -- I kept titling chapters "arriving at the temple" before I wrote them, and they kept on not arriving) -- it probably would be a good idea to rewrite some earlier parts so that it fits more with the direction that the story is taking.

Thank you, very much.
