Summary:Leia should have known better than to pick up a “no questions asked” fare in Mos Eisley. Luke was all right, but no reward was worth the trouble that Prince Han Solo trailed in his wake like a runaway comet.
And then there is this exchange:
“You don’t believe in the Force?” asked Luke. He sounded... sad.
Leia thought of her other copilot, the way she had seen her blasterbolt cross Greedo’s a split second before it happened, and how she had already pulled the lever to dump Jabba’s cargo before the Imperial cruiser had emerged from hyperspace.
“What I believe,” she said carefully, “is that carrying a lightsaber brings more trouble than it’s worth.”
Old Ben smiled ruefully. “And carrying a blaster does not attract trouble?”
Leia decided not to bring up her small collection of thermal detonators. It would only confuse the issue. “We’re coming up on Corellia,” she said instead, half a second before a console light blinked on with the same message. She met Old Ben’s gaze, challenging him to comment. He only smiled, as if he could hear her thoughts.
Rat bastard.
She hoped he’d hear that one.
