*** While he definitely should not have used physical force to read her letters, once the "Force" became involved he may be justified in responding in kind.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Threepio, after several decades of exposure to Han Solo. [[Literal Minded]]? Or high octane snark? The dialogue can frequently be read either way.

* [[Designated Villain]]: Vestara is seen as this by some, because she has good intentions, and hasn't been shown doing much [[Kick the Dog|actual evil]]. Both [[Straw Man Has a Point|in-universe]] and [[Alternate Character Interpretation|fan arguments]] that the Jedi are [[Not So Different]], certainly don't help.

** Ben leather pantses Vestara, and Vestara inverts it, taking a clearly heroic character (Ben) and trying to imagine him as a villain (specifically as her husband and the greatest Sith ever).

*** Actually, Vestara ''sub''verts it. She's been taught to regard Sith as heroes and Jedi as villains, so technically she's playing it straight by imagining her enemy as a hero. But the audience have pre-conceived notions on who is a hero and who is a villain, so portraying this natural tendency in a teenage girl on the other side quite effectively highlights how [[Not So Different]] she is from Ben.
