3 credits could have bought me a quick puff of that sweet rhoydinum that Saw is always going on about but instead I thought you’d like it more.

Kevbot Loves Lobot and Probot £5

Won 5 credits on an Imperial scratch card (found three Chewbacca heads in a line) and thought, instead of spunking it on Blur Milk, I’d give it to you

Kevinski Wangwaiver. £5

I’ve only gone and won a game of Sabacc against bloody Lando Calrissian (the suave devil) and wanted to send you some well needed Mon Cal Flans.

Bloody Jabba The Hutt forced me to change my details with the Trade Federation. Didn’t want you guys taking out a bounty on my head.

Kevy Wank Enobi £5

Found a few Aldhani credits. Could have gone to Canto Bight and spent a night with a Sulustian at Space Hooters but thought it’s better spent here.
