Mnemonic


[lu-] Luke Skywalker is in the [3] basement of the [-_] house where he is a 虏 captive. He is tied up to an anti-Jedi chair that is bolted into the cement floor, completely unable to move. A 虍 tiger paces around him to make sure he cannot ever escape, and a 力 muscular arm has him in a choke-hold to ensure he can't even use the Force. Meanwhile a bunch of Empire Battle Droids point their guns at Luke, the 虏 captive. It looks like he has no way of escaping.
