Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning

by meldahlie

What was Obi-Wan thinking on the flight to Alderaan? Was Leia ever in love with Luke? And why does the scruffy nerf herder look that way? A collection of independent one-shots from the Star Wars original trilogy.

18. Insult?

Insult?

Why didn't Chewie mind the names Leia called him on the Death Star? Missing moment, ANH.

"What d'ya think of her? What d'ya think of her?!" Han Solo punched the moulding on the Falcon's cockpit window. "What kinda question is that?! I'm tryin' not to, that's what!"

Chewie folded himself carefully into the co-pilot's seat. "Ha-rawr?"

"Yeah, I'm tryin' not to! C'mon, she even insulted you!"

"Ha-rawr?"

"She did! Called you a walkin' carpet!"

Chewie shook his head. "Rah-rawr..."

"Yes she did! I heard her! Couldn't help it, I was standin' right beside her!"

"Raaawr..."

"Don't give me those sort of noises. Walkin' carpet, she said – and that is insultin'!"

"Raaawr..."

"Whaddya mean, you don' mind?"

"Raaawr..."

"A walkin' carpet? She called you a walkin' carpet and you Don't Mind?!"

"Hrah-rawr."

There was a long and silent pause. Han's eyes narrowed. He looked sideways at his co-pilot. "A walkin' carpet and you Don't Mind?" he repeated incredulously. "Are you tryin' to tell me Mala calls you a walkin' carpet? As some kinda endearment?!"

"HAH-RAWR!"
