Summary
The entryway is lit, but as Leia approaches the kitchen with its door flung wide open, she realises that whoever is inside has not bothered to switch on the overhead light. On light feet, she comes to stand in the doorway, peering into the dark room beyond. The figure on the other side of the room is practically unrecognisable, shrouded as he is in shadow. He could be anyone. He could be a stranger. The thought sends a thrill through Leia.
Leia flicks the light switch and Anakin exclaims in shock and abruptly spins around to face her.

Summary
“I can vouch for him. I know he has expressed enmity towards you in the past, but while Cassius is proud, he also has a soldier’s training. He knows that he has lost; he will accept the yoke now,” Brutus assures him, desperation creeping into his voice.
Caesar leans back in his chair and tilts his head slightly, the lamplight bathing one side of his face and leaving the other in darkness.

Summary
Leia is sitting at the kitchen table with a cigarette dangling from her painted lips when Luke arrives. He’s carrying a toolbox and his footsteps are heavy as he shuffles from the entryway to the kitchen. As he comes through the doorway, he pauses to set down his tools and looks up to find his sister wearing a face as cold and unyielding as marble.
“Are you alright?" he says softly, taking a few steps towards her.

Summary
It’s eight o’clock on a Friday evening and Han's red Ford Falcon is idling by the curb. Leia goes first to the driver’s door, the window of which is lowered, and leans inside to kiss Han on the lips, staining his mouth with her cherry-bright lipstick, before circling around to the other side of the car and climbing into the passenger seat.

Summary
Here is what he knows: the Senate is a storm of blurring eyes, and burning voices. The halls of his house are for stolen days and private nights. The marble pillars on Capitoline hill are the pillars of Rome, and Rome is the pillar of the world.
There’s blood on his hands. It’s Caesar’s, and it’s Portia’s and Cassius’s, their faces swirling one after the other in his mind, interchangeable. But up above his bloodied elbows he stands stainless.
Or: Brutus lives for honor, fails for honor, dies for love.
