A real lesson: "Do or do not, there is no try"

Though the ' If you ever build a throne room, NEVER put a great big shaft leading to a big nuclear reactor right in the center of the room' is very wise too

- Being slowly digested over 1000 years is not seen as a pleasant way to go.
- Holding a thermal detonator makes you seem fearless and inventive, but apparently not stupid.
- Rancor keepers love their Rancors.

- Sith Lords are not concerned with asteroids.
- If a Sith Lord thinks you are as clumsy as you are stupid, don't, repeat don't answer the videophone.
