From Aaron Allston's website...
Some text apparently got dropped from Rebel Stand; I only discovered this when people began e-mailing me this question. If you look at the top of page 273, you'll see text reading:
ÏYes. So all I can do is wish you luck."
Face left.
This section actually should have read:
ÏYes. So all I can do is wish you luck. And ask you to answer a question thatÌs been plaguing me for years.Ó
ÏWhatÌs that?Ó
ÏCan you use the Force to scratch your back? You know, right in the middle, where you canÌt reach?Ó
Luke smiled. ÏNot exactly. But you can use self-control techniques to quell the itch, or can move an object, like a credcoin, over and scratch it physically. But if youÌve been wondering this for years, why didnÌt you ask me when you met me all those years ago?Ó
Face shrugged. ÏI lied about that. We never met before Borleias.Ó
ÏYou mynock. Get out of here.Ó
Grinning, Face left.
