Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
msbelle, does this skirt make me look fat?
Rapiers and balance -- a conclusion in the article is that the balance is where it is for a reason -- I wonder how the feel of fighting with just a hilt (i.e. lightsaber) affects the battle? I know momentum is useful in your swing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Force gives you all the momentum you need.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
"Give in to the conservation of momentum, Luke!"

No way! Next, you're probably going to tell me the Empire will be outfought by a bunch of animated teddy bears.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Closer to 5-6, generally.
