Darth vader Quote by George R.R. Martin
““Han is only in it for the money, he makes that plain right from the start … which makes it all the more thrilling when he returns at the end of Star Wars to put that rocket up Darth Vader’s butt. (Oh, and he DOES shoot first in the cantina scene, no matter how George Lucas retcons that first movie.)””
