Star Bores


I'm finding it easier and easier to relate to Luke Skywalker these days.  These conversations with Bub, they just don't really go anywhere.  Like that expositionally necessary scene in Empire when Luke is talking to R2 en route to see Yoda.  'That's right, R2, we're not going with the others.'  You know the one.  Welcome to my life.  Only the beeps are replaced by equally nonsensical noises.  'That's right, Bub, we're not going with the others.  No Bub, the Hopleaf does not have high chairs.  No, Bub, I will not sneak you in under my coat.  Yes, I know you do.  Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.  Okay, then.  Stop talking, now, please.'

Hint:  Read from the bottom up.  It will make much more sense.
