And that's what you get when you mix the Skywalker-Jade genes together. Also, I thought the first part of the sentence was unneeded, as it basically described where Luke and Mara were at the time.  Firebird  Phoenix Rising 14:18, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

"Whatever minute subcutaneous organ produced fear sweat, it was missing in him. Not because he had been born without it – no sentient creature was – but because he had forced it into nonexistence, excised it from his mind with the razor-sharp scalpel of his will. The ancient Mandalorian warriors, whose lethal battle-gear he wore, had been just as coldly ruthless, according to the legends that were still told and retold in whispers throughout the galaxy. Long ago, when he had first gazed upon one of their empty helmets, a relic of an extinguished terror, he had seen in its narrow, unreadable gaze an image of his own future, of the death-bringing entity he would become."

- Boba Fett's thoughts on the fear he inspires in his captives.
