He begins to tell her the story of a time in 1916 when he and his friend Remy were on leave from the war, and the two were looking for love...

In a 1994 interview with Star Wars Insider magazine, writer Carrie Fisher explained her frustration in working with George Lucas on this episode: "He asked me to do an episode and that was really, really annoying, but it was very, very funny. Screaming at each other. Arguing big time about love scenes. We couldn't disagree more, in any world, about love scenes. I mean hours of it, hours of 'Why wouldn't you say that? I talk like that.', he said to me. I don't believe it! And if he does [talk like that], they let him get away with it because he's Lucas." ... "He won. He let me win in the draft, then he went off and shot it and he changed it. I went crazy! I didn't want the shimmering arm, hair in the moonlight stuff. 'You look so lovely. You are the magical rose of my...' It's in!"[1]
