Well, I wouldn’t say everyone on Kamino had a crush on Shaak Ti—but, yeah, she definitely left an impression. She had this calm, commanding presence that made her stand out, even among the Kaminoans, who weren’t exactly easy to impress. She was strong, focused, and fiercely kind. She always stood up for us. If you heard some troopers talking about her with a little more enthusiasm than usual, I wouldn’t be surprised.
I was too busy keeping my squad in line to think about stuff like that. Sure, she had a way about her that was hard to ignore, but, uh, admiration doesn’t mean… anything else. Anyway, most of us had bigger things to worry about than daydreaming.
