Dec 31, 2019 at 0:33	comment	added	desertnaut		@Valorum that's maybe an interesting opinion. For the actual record, he uses the word "insulting" himself talking to Obi-Wan, just before the dialogue between themselves I have quoted - I wouldn't have used the term myself here if this was not clearly the case.
