"Anakin, if Chancellor Palpatine jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?"
"Of course! I love jumping off cliffs! That sounds like fun!"
Obi-Wan lets out a long-suffering sigh.
"Hey, Obi-Wan!"
"What?"
"Do you want to go jump off a cliff with me?"
[muffled screeching]

"Hey, Snips, if I jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?"
"I've already answered this question a million times at the Temple, Master. I won't succumb to peer pressure, I promise."
"No, seriously. I'm about to jump off this cliff. Are you willing to follow me?"
"Well, what's the worst that could happen?"
"Anakin, if the Jedi Council told you to jump off a cliff, would you obey them?"
"Oh, they wouldn't have to, Chancellor. I'd jump off a cliff voluntarily. Besides, jumping off cliffs is practically part of Jedi culture."
"Luke, pardon the wandering mind of an old man, but if your friends jumped off a cliff, you wouldn't jump off of it too, would you?"
"Of course I would, Ben. I've jumped off cliffs before, lots of times. I've never had any problems before. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, I do say, Master Obi-Wan, why are you beating your head against a wall and screaming into a pillow?"
"He has been in the heat under the suns quite a lot recently, Threepio. Maybe that's why?"
"Son."
"Father." (Ben, why didn't you tell me?)
"I…see you like jumping off cliffs. I also like jumping off cliffs."
"?"
"Maybe we could go jumping off cliffs together sometime? We can work our way up to ruling the galaxy together slowly."
"I'll never…join you?"
…
"Hey, Leia."
"What?"
"If Darth Vader wanted to jump off a cliff, would you do it too?"
"What?"
