based on the sheer volume of paperwork Cody files, certain government officials on Coruscant assume that he’s a full time bureaucrat stationed with the Third Systems Army
they are very alarmed when he shows up on Coruscant for a lunch meeting they scheduled with him, and he kicks a droid’s face in when they inevitably come under fire
He kicks a droid’s head clean off, stabs the accompanying bounty hunter in the neck with the pen he was just using- the pen the bureaucrat just lent him to sign stuff- then gets into a snarky comm call with the head of the Corrie Guard about the “mess.” And then he just sits back down, apologizes for the interruption, and asks where they’d left off.
The bureaucrat goes from shock & terror to 1000% in love (and a little bewildered by it) and spends the rest of the meal trying to figure out how to ask General Kenobi’s secretary out on a date.

This website has ruined me because I was not expecting a child to speak when he called himself daddy…
I can’t say I felt the same, but I have tremendous admiration for his composure
[Transcript:]
Person filming: Can you again ask me what you just asked me? What was that question? I don’t think… Daddy didn’t hear you.
Child offscreen: When can we have lesbian?
Dad: Mhmm. Okay. Maybe I did hear you right. Um, I don’t know what that is, Sweetie, I don’t know what you mean. Child, emphatically: Lesbian!
Dad: No, I know– I know what you said, but I don’t think that word means what you think it means, okay?
Child: It’s like… spaghetti.
Dad: [Clears throat] Oh, excuse me. [Audibly restraining laughter] Do you mean lasagna?
Child: Yep!
Dad: Okay. Um, yeah, [high pitched with amusement] I’m sure we can have– [serious] I’m sure we can have lasagna really soon, okay? We’ll– We’ll try to… Yeah, we’ll make sure that we can– we can eat that soon, okay? Does that sound– does that sound good?
Child: Yeah!
Dad: Okay, alright. Thank y–

My favorite part of this is that he doesn’t show his kid’s face.
In an era when so many kids are used for funny videos, where their faces are splashed across the internet before they even know what the internet is, it’s really refreshing to see people respecting their kids’ privacy.
