You'd know if I was patronizing you. I'd be calling you Your Highness.
( he still reverted to that in arguments with leia sometimes. somewhere along the way it had become a title of affection, but. still, slightly patronizing. )
Look, I've been on hundreds of planets. Seen just as many different forms of government and then some. I know what people are like. Human, mirailan, twi'lek... it doesn't matter. They're the same everywhere. Dumb and greedy and selfish, and only a few have what it takes to rise above that. Everyone just wants to survive. It gets old after a while. Maybe your world has something I haven't seen before, but... a friend of mine has this saying.
( he misses maz, all of a sudden. she always knew how to make sure someone's head was screwed on straight. )
'If you live long enough, you see the same eyes in different people'. You? I see my wife in you. Leia — she's a princess, I mentioned that. She watched her home be destroyed by her own father. She had to go on the run for years. She became a general, same as me, doing the same stuff. Fighting against an impossible enemy with all the advantages. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing your story is something close to that.
