  • Good job Alex, Starkiller base does destroy stars, but not by blowing them up.

  • Pete: It's hard to top Horse Pilot.
  • Alex and then Pete: "Small potatoes compared to a horse pilot."
  • Asterios: I can't read all of Wookieepedia—I'll die! Like, I'll literally choke to death on my own barf.
  • Alex: <Liverpudlian accent> Pick whatever duality you want.
