Wish I could, sir. But there are other glitches in other systems. Other bugs! In other programs! All across this vaaaast universe. And where they are, that's where I'll travel. Mmmhm.

Name: Dec Hansen Pronouns: he/him Era: First Order Appears in: Join the Resistance trilogy

Dec Hansen was a scavenger and tinkerer who, with his droid "brother" AG-90, joined the Resistance as part of J-Squadron. He was a charming troublemaker and fiercely loyal to his friends. While not made explicit in canon, co-author Ben Blacker stated that he wrote Dec as a gay character, alluding to this through Dec's story about being "different from everyone else" and quotes other characters ("I've never known him to like a girl. It's just not how he is.")

Fun fact: Dec is the first gay character in a Star Wars children's book!

Check out Dec's video profile here.

Trusk Berinato -- who looks more like a guy who’s eaten too much colloidal silver than an alien -- makes some interesting accusations of Leia here. By “yer daddy,” he means Bail Organa, an old acquaintance of his, not Darth Vader, since her biological father’s identity is still a secret at this point. Unintentionally, Trusk contrasts Bail and Leia with Padme and Luke, who both insist that there is good in Vader. Trust argues that, by their pessimism, Bail and Leia make people behave worse than they normally would. I appreciate this attempt to give Bail and Leia more personality, but, in context, this seems more like a case of someone trying to blame someone else for his own bad behavior.

Museum curator: "Never ended well for the siblings.

Mm, the strain of working together, or maybe just being around each other all their lives. Those two were the exception, actually -- the Campbells. Got along famously. Of course, that was just a stage name. They weren't actually brothers. That was a cover for their, um... alternative lifestyle. Any other questions I can answer?"

And they had to make it their Campbell maiden name?

Really?
