Well, this be the one that makes me reach for the EU. Honestly, there isn't a moment in the OT (or the PT, either, for that matter) that I would describe as heartbreaking. Heart stretching, perhaps, but there's just no rending there for me.
But when Mara Jade is forced to destroy the Jade's Fire, the only thing she's ever really owned in her life, I grieved with her. I remember reading this scene like it was yesterday, and I'm not ashamed to admit I cried for that ship... and for Mara.
( The questions... )
