^ That reminds me of a song
I left my AT-AT
On Plant Hoth
On Planet Hoth
When Skywalker grappling hooked me
I felt so lost
On Planet Hoth
On Planet Hoth
It was a disaster for me
The Death Star stopped playing
It's sweet melody
And all of those plans I made
Were never to be
Though we're apart
You're still my AT-AT
You're Just rusting away
On Planet Hoth but I'll come back for you one day

And all of those plans I made
Were never to be

The smoke wafted gently in the breeze across the poop deck and all seemed right in the world.
