Cradle to Grave

''

40, shattered

The little Artoo droid reminds me so much of the one I was one found on a battlefield… in another lifetime.

Even the young man that watches me with such eager restlessness reminds me of another one I found… also on a kind of battlefield… also in another lifetime.

Only this one does not follow me into battle.

But the Imperials will be looking for this unit. I feel the deaths of the Lars and I wait for this young man to shatter like his father.

Are we doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past over and over again?
