Exit Music

When Luke and Cora walked into the antechamber of the royal palace on Aquilae, four of Lord Sunrider’s seven guards would restrain Cora, while three others engaged Prince Luke in combat. Cora, fighting against her captors, would struggle hard enough for them to knock out two of her teeth.

Once Luke had taken down his opponents, the other guards would rush to confront the Prince of Aquilae – after knocking Cora out with a gun-butt to the back of the head. Fortunately, Cora would wake up in time to grab the lightsaber of a fallen guard, just as Luke (now disarmed) was having difficulty in his battle with the last soldier.

In the film’s finale, Cora would have two gold teeth – a display of her battle wounds, similar to King Luke’s silver arm. This also has Biblical symbolism, alluding to the 30 pieces of silver received by Judas Iscariot as the price for his betrayal of Jesus.

PS: Forget the albino sandworms in the quicksand on Aquilae. Quicksand is threatening enough.
