"Makes sense to me, but the question I'd ask- not asking you to tell me, but just to consider- what options do you have to become more powerful, and what will happen if you lose control of that power?"

I'd considered such morbid questions before. It was a tough one to consider, but fortunately, neither of the two most palatable options would render me immortal, and I knew a guy who could probably kill me if he had to.

Killing Luke Skywalker didn't sound like an option to me, and I was betting it didn't sound like one to him, either.
