EEEEE SQUEEE!!!! That makes me ridiculously happy, and also does this mean that Luke might get a ghostly visit from his Mama? (And also-also, for some reason I like the idea that ghost!Arissa hasn't been off hanging out with Luke because she, and possibly Shmi, were busy with Luke's actual twin? Not least because that would ace the Bechdel test so hard.)

Yes, definitely poor Arissa, but yay for not-all-about-Anakin, or indeed about any conventional "girl stuff" like the grand/babies. (The two of them talking shop about piloting/navigation, though... makes me grin.)

Yes, indeed! As you reminded me, the role of genocidal/mundicidal whackjob in the OT goes to Tarkin, not our resident Jedi-turned-Sith, whose main flaw in that area tends to be that he considers incompetence a capital crime and doesn't balk at all at torture. (Though honestly, if you are walking around with none of your own limbs and a respirator and a lot of possibly-ill-healed third degree burn-scars, and have been for two decades, your understanding of the overall meaning of pain is probably kind of screwed up to begin with. Meaning that Vader's concept of what he's doing to Leia and then Han is probably not in line with the general understanding of what it means to torture someone--- when you're hurting all the time yourself, that framework is just... different. Not that it makes it okay, but... it's like with him killing the baby!Jedi, his understanding of that is just skewed, badly. And with the crippling/pain thing, Palpatine probably meant for it to happen that way, too. *squick*)

You're welcome, and it's amazing and fits the space perfectly!
