After that we all made sure that we only wear real leather boots out on active flows, not the lightweight part-nylon kind.

UPDATE: Reading around a bit on the site, it turns out if you aren’t wearing one of those metal bunny suits you can catch on fire from radiant heat, so Revenge of the Sith, it is.
