barbiejedi: text written in a pile of sugar in front of a coffee mug reads "I have measured out my life in coffee spoons" (misc: coffee spoons)

Still can't stop thinking that Artoo stealing evidence from the scene of the senate bombing is ruining any kind of court case the New Republic might want to bring against the perpetrators of the bombing.

Also find it super hilarious that the existence of Leia's ship, the Alderaan, is referenced in only two stories in Legends ever-- this book, and the infamous Crystal Star. No other authors ever used it.

With the reveal in this week's section that Kueller is making this attacks via sabotaged droids, I wonder if he's also using droids to staff and run the three whole-ass Star Destroyers he's fielding against Wedge's little task force. Three Star Destroyers is a LOT-- Wedge even says in the narration: He had not expected this. A ragtag fleet of some sort, perhaps, cobbled together from various other ships. Or maybe even a home complement. But not Star Destroyers, nor so many. This Kueller had trained military personnel operating some of the most powerful ships in the galaxy. How had he come by all of this? And so quickly?

I was wondering how Brakiss was going to tie into the larger plot since he didn't seem to be the Vader to Kueller's Palpatine, but him running a droid factory both to get sabotaged droids into the hands of Kueller's enemies and provide staff for Kueller's fleet would make a lot of sense.
