I'm in! (Note the new e-mail address.) Not that it took much effort. Solo's here
alright, on the wall in the alcove to the left of Jabba's lounging lair.
The overall No. of guards is roughly as we estimated, but several dozen pirates,
bounty hunters and other armed folk also about. Notably our dear friend Boba.
Can't imagine how you get in, it takes a turbolaser battery to get the blast shields
down. never mind, I don't want to know.
Otherwise, it is boring, and the place stinks, so don't you dare to postpone your
little visit.
Lando

Vader,
Thank you for being so open. I think now I understand you a little better. I, too,
would like to talk to you. Perhaps I will come and find you one day. That is, if your
men don't shoot me first. But if I come, then not because it is my destiny or my
place, but because I choose to. Right now I am not sure you can accept me as I am;
or even if you could, the Emperor wouldn't let you. Father, why do you obey him?
Can you make your own decisions at all? Here in the Alliance, among my friends,
I have the freedom to stay or leave and choose a different path. Can you honestly
tell me I would have the same freedom with you?
BTW, I learned a nifty trick with the Force - I can suggest ideas to others, and they
will think it is their own idea. Can you do that? I'm terribly proud of myself. :o)
Luke

Son,
I realize this craving for freedom is only natural to you as a young man. However,
it is only illusory. As you progress in the Force, you will find that there is no
freedom, only your destiny. I had to make a similar choice in my youth. Whatever
you choose, you will find your path is already written in the Force.
Congratulations on learning the Jedi Mind Trick (that's what your new skill is
called). I am very proud of you. What does :o) mean?
Your father,
Darth Vader

I hope you're there, bud. Han's defrosted, but they were caught. Leia chained to
the Hutt. I couldn't do anything. Get yourself here pronto!

It has been confirmed that the Empire is building a new Death Star. We cannot
allow this to happen. Therefore we must strike soon, while the Death Star is not
yet operational. For tactical planning and training manoeuvres, I suggest we meet
in the Void behind the Sullust system at the enclosed coordinates.
