Never mind the “Who shot first?” stuff; THIS is the defining moment of the Han Solo character:

Everyone else was just like: “Oh, fuck: It’s Vader!” and standing around in shock and terror when Vader was revealed. Even Chewie.

Most people, I suspect, would have that reaction. 

Meanwhile, Han’s first reaction, instinctively, in less than a second, was to grab a gun and try to flat-out end the guy.

He failed, of course. But God Damn if you can’t appreciate the effort.

Can you imagine having to go into jury duty and realizing it’s the Trump hush money case? And there’s Donald Trump sitting there scowling at you and his lawyers are making you read your tweets out from like 6 years ago about his terrible spray tan? I would just burst into tears on the spot. I’m not a strong person.

My overriding feeling watching them is that what I'm watching is a perfectly happy couple on Bargain Hunt.

oh you’re in his dms? well i’m a part of his house. disguised as a boy. running his errands. trying to make the local countess fall in love with him. even though i’m in love with him. but now she’s in love with me. shit.

MALVOLIO: By my life, this is my lady’s hand: these be her very C’s, her U’s, and her T’s, and thus makes she her great P’s. SIR ANDREW: Her C’s, her U’s, and her T’s. Why that?

I hate how clever this joke is.

So Malvolio is reading what he thinks is a love letter from his boss, Olivia, and he thinks he recognizes his her handwriting, her "hand." (Sir Andrew is spying from the bushes.)

But, the fact that he specifically calls out her 'C' 'U' 'n 'T' draws attention to what he is really thinking about.

but BUT, if you look at it phonetically (said out loud in a play) then the line becomes "seize, use, and tease."

Which makes it a handjob joke. "My lady's [literal] hand, these are her very seize, her use, and her tease, and thus she makes her great peace. [orgasm]. And that's what Malvolio in the midst of his big power fantasy is REALLY thinking about.

and then Sir Andrew draws attention to this joke, making it sound like he's never had sex, which of course he hasn't, because his thing is that he's very alone (very probably because he doesn't realize that he's gay.)

that's a three tier pun that's also got character development.
