Another entry from “Letters From Dagobah.”
REQUEST FORM:
From: Obi Wan Kenobi, Jedi Member

EQUIPMENT REQUESTED: Double Bladed Lightsaber. Can we do tangerine for the blade? I’ve just always liked tangerine. Can’t explain it.
SUPERVISOR’S SIGNATURE: Uh…he’s dead. He was killed by a Sith Lord wielding a double-bladed lightsaber.
PURPOSE: How come you guys never told me there were double-bladed lightsabers?? I don’t know if you got my after-action report, but Qui-Gon was killed by one of those babies, and if it’s good enough for Sith, it’s good enough for me. And please don’t give me any of that “only the evil Sith can wield such a device” crap again. You said that when you took my Playstation 3, and I’m certain I’ve heard Yoda in his “meditation chamber” playing Madden. Seriously, I’m starting to notice that the Sith have all the really cool, extremely deadly weapons. This really has to stop.
And while we’re on the subject, have you noticed that the Sith are all really cool looking? Maul nearly made me piss my robes, and all we had in the looks department was Qui-Gon’s immaculately kept beard. You know he used to trim that thing with his lightsaber? Fuck the Force, that was always amazing. I digress.
