There’s two of them on Noah’s ark.
One is light, the other’s dark.
But we decide which is right, and which is an illusion….
[Portentous music, with strings.]

  1. In early Star Wars scripts Luke Skywalker was called “Luke Starkiller”.

    I wonder what other options were considered – Cloudprancer? Sunsetgyrator? Insouciantmantlepieceleaner?
