She squeezed her mother's hand. "I try to be understanding, but there's so much I want to know. About you, about him...even about the future, though I know there's a risk that could make things happen differently. He's absolutely adamant that I not look for him in my world or try to find Luke there. It's not just for selfish reasons" -- well, a little bit selfish -- "I just can't help but think finding them sooner would help bring down Palpatine and Vader sooner and spare the galaxy from civil war."
