From what I’ve made out by watching “World Between Worlds”, I heard “Help me Obi-Wan, Your my only hope” -Leia ANH And, “I lost my way for a long time. But now, I have a chance to change things.” – Kanan Rebels I heard fragments of a lot more, but couldn’t make them out. Is there a list of the qu...

I'm looking for the detective novel matching this description: I have nothing to add, except that one of my favorite lines from a detective novel (long since forgotten which one) was to the effect of “1.5 gallons of blood doesn’t sound like a lot to most people. Pour 1.5 gallons of milk on your...
