He was pretty amazing. I wish I could have known him longer. There's so much he could have taught me, I think. There's so much he... he could still teach me, if he came here.
[The words come out hesitant, like he almost doesn't even dare voice that hope for fear of it shattering. But...
But of all the people here, it feels like Leia's the one who would understand.]
I mean, it's the same for you, isn't it? Your dad... Both your dads are here.
