Finished the section covering “Rogue One” and “A New Hope”

“Luke, trust the Force: let go: the path is spread” - Ben’s voice

“…therefore, depart, so farmer lads may win the glory mercenaries scorn” - Leia to Han

“The winding path to victory often takes us through the shade” - Obi-Wan

Finished “Dragon in the Sea.” I really liked this one. Lots of specific details that help paint a picture of the world & the characters. It was just getting started when it ended though, & the ending felt like a cliffhanger. I would read a whole novel with this story. I’m also not sure what the title has to do with the story…

4.25/5 stars

“Do I know what it is to be truly afraid?” - Ramsey

“…down here, you never make the same mistake once.” - Bonnet

“Out here I identify myself to my God and none other” - Sparrow

“There’s no such thing as a ‘minor’ accident on a submarine” - Reed

“You say this crew rates high. That doesn’t check if the captain is a borderline psychotic” - Ramsey

“And little mourned, for who shall sing laments when all the mourners perish with the dead?”

“Therefore have faith, for faithless men must learn the lesson of a sorcerer” - Vader, as he chokes the rude imperial officer

“My boy, the Force lies not in swords alone: It may be wielded like a club or cloth that steers the feeble-minded back and forth” - Ben

“But patience seems no virtue to the bold.”

“Sing of it, Muse, who linger on the rim of one lost galaxy, far, far away…”

I finished the short story “Rat Race”. I thought it was funny that the first couple paragraphs tell you pretty much exactly what’s going to happen (kinda like how “Dune” & “Dune Messiah” do). It was interesting, but the last third of the story was just people telling us what happened elsewhere. I would’ve preferred seeing it instead of just hearing about it. Good overall though!

3.5/5 stars

“His lost vision became like the wind, blowing where it willed.”

“I think I tried to invent life, not realizing it’d already been invented” - Paul
