[For a second after the feed fizzles into life, Mike just sits there, blinking at his device in urgent confusion. Normally it would be astonishment, but the kid's been through hell and (part of the way) back, and it shows on his face; this is going to be the coolest once he gets a good night's sleep under his belt, but right now - ]

Um. [He pushes a pair of dust-coated goggles up into his hair, and coughs. The scarf below his chin seems coated with a similar substance.] Is there an Indiana here?

[A brief pause. He knows how dumb that question sounds.]

I really need to call someone.

She found out when Sana tracked me down. [He waves a hand, dismissively.] But that was a while ago, and anyway Sana's not really my wife. Like I said, we just faked getting married and she wanted her money.

[A pause. Right, time to talk about the bantha in the room.]

I—kriff, kid. Leia and I—we're not. We're not there yet. Last thing I remember was [getting frozen in carbonite] Bespin. [And that one word is loaded with memories and terror, all by itself.] And the last thing she remembers is being on the Falcon before that.

You're not even to the end yet?!

[Mike is completely blown away by this revelation, and has to sit back from the camera. He knows more than Han Solo, he realizes, brimming with excited astonishment. This has just gone from the worst day of his life, to one of the best. At last for the moment.]

If you're talking about Endor, we haven't gotten there yet. But there's a guy here, Poe Dameron, he's from about thirty years into my future.

[Just not going to mention Kylo Ren to this small child who is apparently having the best day. No need to talk about his kid who fell to the Dark Side, haha. Ha.]

And that's not even talking about the ones before our time—around the time of the Clone Wars.

[This kid is practically going into shock by this point.]

Who else is here?! I want to know everything.

Lot of us from my galaxy, kid. Leia's here, so're Lando and Luke. I mentioned Dameron from the future, and there's a count here named Dooku, came before the Clone Wars ended. Some people who died at Scarif trying to get the Death Star plans out. There's more, but I don't know everyone from my galaxy.
