"That sounds about right. EVERY time we have a good first movie, the sequel is always a let down. Jurassic Park and The Matrix come to mind."

Look, if you caught lightning in a bottle once, why ruin it with a mediocre sequel?

Luz would second that.

Darth Maul had always been a complicated individual, and breaking out of what he was to be what he IS had taken a lot of time. Luz respected all that it took, but knew, as she did, that in that process he would lose some people. Luckily, there were still plenty who cared about Darth Maul now, and some that figured that holding into grudges here tended to do them very little good.

"No one is off the table when it comes to losing someone, and that's hard to accept. But everyone who left helped make me a little stronger. I do hope that Cassie will get better somehow, but I have to admit that I wouldn't trade her for you any day."

Luz hoped her sister would be OK, wherever she was, but Luz was also pretty happy that Lexi got to be herself here, with no one forcing her to keep her personality hidden.

"If I could only find a way to make sashimi. Salmon is SO much better that way."
