The Horror...
From the "Return of the Sith" novelization:
"From the shadow of a great pillar stretching up into the reddening
afternoon that leaked through the vaulted roof of transparisteel over the
Atrium of the Senate Office Building, she watched senators clustering in
through the archway from the Chancellor's landing platform, and then she
saw the Chancellor himself and C-3PO and yes, that was R2-D2!---and so he
could not be far behind. . .and only then did she finally find him among
them, tall and straight, his hair radiation-bleached to golden streaks
and on his lips a lively smile that opened her chest and unlocked her heart."
And somewhere, Mr. Bulwer-Litton is smiling.
