      While she herself wants to be R2, please teach me your wise ways oh master droid!?

      But more seriously, she’s passionate. Luke too. She’s also knowledgeable. Him not so much 🤪. A bit naive though, thinking that one can resolve their differences with the Emperor diplomatically.

      In the books she went on to become the Chancellor of the New Republic in her own right, after Mon Mothma, neglecting her Jedi heritage for the most part, while he went on to unleash terror upon the galaxy by halfheartedly training people with stubborn wills to learn how to use their own force powers, sometimes for evil. I gather they both regretted their respective paths and I have no idea what I’m supposed to learn from all that - maybe in George Lucas’ philosophy, everything is ultimately futile, in the end, even choices with galaxy-altering consequences, still all ultimately reflects merely the Yin and the Yang of existence, and a hero who lives long enough ultimately becomes a villain (in the eyes of their children at the very least, who don’t understand those choices:-P)? Anyway they seemed to have fun chasing their passions:-).
