You need three witches to make a coven. Two witches make an argument.<br /><br />Lewis Carroll has wigged me out ever since seeing the Great Books episode about Alice in Wonderland.

I don't remember hearing her at any part after that and I'm pretty sure it's because we don't hear her in the original trilogy. Without the need to fit into the original trilogy, L3-37 could have been like Jarvis was/is for Iron Man and that would have pretty cool. As it was, it felt tragic to me. After that scene I kept thinking about the Millennium Falcon from the beginning of A Force Awakens. Better to die than end up a mute prisoner and tossed in a trash heap.Kevin Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092721842140433268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-48195884706325841992018-06-04T04:43:53.852-06:002018-06-04T04:43:53.852-06:00A sentient Falcon would be hilarious.
