It's Still Mutual Threat!
Compiled by Gilmoy
--*--

Pattern triggers:
1. R2-D2 attacks Chewbacca's Q (and not with its own Q).

2. Chewbacca counterattacks R2-D2's Q (and not using his own Q). This indirectly offers to trade Qs (without either side playing QxQ).

Pattern payoff:
3. R2-D2's Q makes any desperado capture, regardless of self-peril, because Chewbacca's Q is still under attack.

It's <still> mutual threat!
