I wanted to fix the galaxy for a while. I thought I could maybe. Grandfather didn't, but I could do what he didn't. Sitting from right here it feels foolish.
When I was a boy I remember a trip, diplomatic trip, my mother went on. I don't remember what Han Solo was doing, but he wasn't there. Neither was Luke. It was just me, and mother, and some of her advisers. We were staying in this resort, large, ridiculously opulent and over the top. They took the idea of the Republic at its word and figured out every way they could to present the excess of it once more. It was absurd.
But there was so ground there, and it was all very secure, and I was able to wander for the first time, maybe ever that I remember. I remember laying on the ground in the middle of a grove of trees just feeling all of it. Lifting things, and nobody telling me that I shouldn't. No fear from my mother of what I become. No limitations from Luke, or lack of understanding from Han.
Just, me, the force, and the feeling that I could do anything or be anything and connect so deeply to everything, all of it.
I don't know if I've ever felt that sense without some... insecurity that I am doing it all wrong.
