Having read Lost Stars, all I think about here is the character of Jude.
And just like that I’m sad…I can’t look at that scene with that triumphant feeling anymore because that book actually humanized the enemy to a degree. Also Alderaan doesn’t seem as evil as it once did; in fact if I were in their place I’d probably do the same thing. Or at least do it to some backwater planet like Tatooine.
