Biography
"It was a question about duty&mdash;our commitments to causes, and to each other, and how we balance the two. It's something I learned battling the Empire, and now Poe's learning the same lesson against the First Order. I've discussed it with him. He’s old enough to hear me, but not old enough to listen yet. I'll keep trying."
