"Well you can't use the Force on me right now because we all have these chips in us." Is she really going to very lightly and cautiously throw a sprinkle of sass at Lord Vader? Apparently. It is truly a wonder any time she is able to hold back. Also a testament to her slowly getting more comfortable in his presence, at least socially. At least here, in this room, where none of them could really do too much to each other. Would she have done that on his ship while he was at his prime in full armor? That would take a few more years of her life and growth, but the answer was also yes.

Leia wondered if people could take the chips out. Maybe she should have paid attention to the debrief a little bit. Did she want him to have the Force back? Probably not. "That was a nice thing to say. I'll remember that. And thank you for the...snack boxes."

She began to pack them mostly as something else to look at while she learned why he thought it was ok to hunt Jedi. Because she couldn't think there would ever be a good reason to hurt them and loved at least one, personally.

"No. Why?"
