Yeah. There are a few rebels that if they showed up here, I would have a hard time not wanting to immediately punch them in the face. But we've been lucky, so far. [ Punch in the face is putting it lightly. If Saw showed up, after what he did to Bodhi, Poe would be hard pressed not to kill him. ]
You would have liked Eli. He was a good man. Even when we disagreed.
As for 622... He, uh - honestly I'd been careful about having them interact at all.
[ He frowned. ]
Not that I thought anything would happen, but... I know it's a lot for him, even dealing with me, and I'm a generation separate. And for a while he thought Hux was imperial, and Hux has attacked us before, so... Better to avoid than risk it. But then Thrawn tried to intervene and I - well it just seemed really dumb to keep avoiding him, so we started meeting up again. It was pretty secret, though. I don't think anyone really knew - for a little while anyway. But it just didn't seem worth putting him into a difficult position when he didn't have anyone to look up to for help or guidance. I don't count. He needed you.
[ He turned his head and shrugged a little awkwardly. ] So that was my first test, really. At mixing the two. You can see how great that went.

But it was just a first try.
