Unvirtuous Abbey posted this status update on Facebook:<\/p>\n

\n

If I speak in the tongues of men or R2 units, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or bleeping android.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Someone added the comment:<\/p>\n

\n

If I am fluent in over six million forms of communication, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give up my body to be frozen in carbonite, but have not love, I gain nothing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are so many others one could think of. Here is one of my own:<\/p>\n

\n

If I have great Jedi skills, so that I can trick my way into Jabba's palace, but have not love, I am but a snarling Rancor. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What others can Star Wars fans come up with?<\/p>\n
