Awesome / From a Certain Point of View

  • In its own way, "The Sith of Datawork" shows just what a Badass Bureaucrat can do with a sufficient mastery of administrative legerdemain. When the Imperial officer who gave the order not to fire on C-3PO and R2-D2's lifepod comes to him fearing for his life if Darth Vader should learn of his mistake, Arvira, a logistics officer aboard the Devastator, unleashes a flurry of forms and requisitions to hopelessly muddy the paper trail and save the officer's life, all in return for a future favor, of course.
  • "Time of Death" has a flashback of the time Obi Wan arrived to help defend the Lars homestead, fighting alongside Owen Lars to dispatch a group of raiders. When one of the raiders nearly gets the drop on the Jedi Knight, Obi Wan is rescued by a young Luke, who distracts the Gamorrean by hitting him in the face with a thrown toy.
  • Obviously, the destruction of the Death Star during the Rebellion's Darkest Hour. The Rebels on Yavin IV break out in uproarious cheers, and soon after Imperial defectors begin to flow in, having been disgusted by the Death Star and what it was used for. The event has such an impact, that it features in no fewer than five of the stories. What makes it more awesome is that the Battle of Yavin is confirmed to have been a do-or-die moment for the Rebellion; had Yavin IV been destroyed, Mon Mothma would have surrendered herself and the Rebel Alliance to the Empire in order to prevent any more worlds from being destroyed by the Death Star.
