* If you're giving up a girl up for adoption, make sure the adopted parents are literally royalty. If they're a boy, however, a life of hard farm labor is good enough for him. Either way, though, make sure that the adoptive parents can't help them with their natural talents.

* If someone makes a mistake on a complex project, it's never an innocent error. It must be intentional sabotage.




to:

* Women must always show sympathy for men, even when they're going through much greater pain, and can't expect sympathy back.



* The best way to honor a dead family is to bury their weapons on a planet that every single one of them hated. Bonus points if you bury them in sand and one of them [[MemeticMutation doesn't like sand]]. But only bury the blue ones, not the green one. Green sucks.

* There is nothing more important than having a last name. You cannot have only one name. If you really don't like your family name, you have to get a new one.

* Being conscripted in infancy to become operatives for the political elite and prop up a corrupt, failing state is okay. A life of being trained how to kill from the time you can walk, dragged through natural and unnatural disasters, crime scenes, and sentient rights abuses (and having the look the other way on most of the suffering because you have to prop up the ''state'', not care for the people) won't cause any trouble. Having to kill or be killed from your early teens, racking up at least a three digit body count by the time you're twenty (someone actually did the math on Ahsoka), and using the life energy of the universe as a weapon...THAT'S all well and good and serving the Light. But wanting something closer than "work friends," writing your family, or wanting something more emotionally imitate than a trip to the brothel (which is a-ok! Sex is fine but Attachment Bad!) is what's going to send you into frying kittens and cutting down schoolkids...

* A good hearted peasant offers you her help? Sure, go and eat her food, crash on her sofa, and take her only child to groom intoi your fabled living weapon. Just don't do anything to help her because SHE isn't important.
* The most compassionate course of action for a nine year old boy rescued from human trafficking is to leave his mom qith the traffickers, haul him away from everyone and everything he knows, lock him in a room with a dozen creepy old men who interrogate him for hours, and then scold him as evil for daring to admit he's scared, homesick, and worried for mom. He needs to be properly stoic and let go of his mom on command if he's to be your ultimate anti-Sith killer, after all!

* Related, if one of your subordinate officers is getting ''insubordinate'' to the point where he is ''openly questioning your authority'', the best course of action is to simply ignore him and hope that he goes away. Maybe throw in some snarky comments to let people know you're still in charge. Actually nipping the problem in the bud by either throwing him in the brig or including him and the rest of your officer team in on your plan just seems rash. After all, it's not like he could persuade any of your staff to mutiny, sabotage your plans, or heaven forbid, that any of your other staff might feel the same way as he does. As they say in ''Film/OfficeSpace'', these kinds of things just work themselves out naturally without you having to do anything at all.
