@ Sherlock: That’s fair. I didn’t mean to sound grumpy saying that or anything; tone is sometimes hard to convey in text.
@ Jar: I really like that bit in the novel. I think it’s a really neat and tidy explanation for Leia’s decision to start and stop her training, it’s all in character, and I wish there was some way of translating that all to the screen in an equally concise way.
