Jaina seemed to be observing her father intently. Honestly she never thought she would see him again but here, here he was almost her age, and that was, weird. It was still nice to see him again,  and she had always been curious as to what her father was like when he was this age, with all the stories she had heard growing up.

“For the record, this is weird for me too. Never thought I’d see you like this. And I’m sure you never would have expected to see an adult daughter you don’t know you have.” Jaina gave him a pointed look “Twenty-six.” She offered him a smile, having that same mischievous one as him, always up to no good, doing whatever she wanted, however she wanted. “Well I suppose it might be a comfort to know that you ended up with Leia?”

Han laughed and nodded his head. “Oh yeah, I’m sure you’re used to seeing me as some old wrinkly man,” he joked. “It’s very weird. Still trying to get used to everything happening, because none of this makes much sense. Just imagine waking up one day and being told you have four kids in their twenties, and you’re sitting there thinking about how you’re only thirty-five.” 

“Wow, so not too much younger then,” Han replied. “Still so weird.” He grinned as she mentioned Leia, as he was already thinking about exactly what she said. “Yeah, it’s a good thing to know. Never really thought that would happen, no matter how hopeful I might’ve been.”

     there really hadn’t been much to do lately on base. at least in comparison to the usual amount of work. in fact, since relocating to coruscant, about all poe had been assigned to do was fix the broken down ships that really needed an actual techs eyes on them. sure poe had experience but– well it had been awhile since he was in school. 

so, now poe was on his way to the mess hall before going and trying to pass out for the night. trying being the primary word in that sentence. 

     he blinked a bit at hearing his name, not really expecting it in the mostly quiet hallway. furrowing his eyebrows some, he glanced around trying to find the source of the voice. he was really not in the mood to talk with some new recruit– 

thoughts paused when he spotted who the voice, must have been. his face softened some before a smile broke out, “yeah, that’s me- you’re han solo. yeah? or uh. general solo. i don’t know how old alliance titles are really carrying over but–” poe cut himself off. he wasn’t… expecting to freak out this much but. here they were. 

"Okay, good, I was hoping it was you,” he said. “I’ve heard a bit about how you’re an excellent pilot from different people talking. Been doing a lot of eavesdropping here lately to figure out what’s happening.” He chuckled a bit to himself. Although, Han couldn’t help but pause for a moment at being called General Solo. That certainly wasn’t something he expected to hear, as he still thought of himself as someone who didn’t need to be part of the Rebels - well, the Resistance, now. “General, huh? I like the sound of that,” he laughed. “Have to say I don’t remember becoming a general, but if you’re calling me that, I’ll gladly accept it.” 

“I’m kidding, of course. I’d prefer to be called Han anyway,” he said.

Jaina had been distraught about waking up without her parents. Yes, all her siblings were there but kriff, she missed her dad with all her heart. Of course, her mother too, but she had always had a special connection with her father, probably because they were such similar people. So when she had heard he was back of course the first thing she had to do was see him again. What she hadn’t expected was for him to be so young. Kriff, Jaina knew he was no spring chicken last time she had seen him but this was just weird.  Watching him carefully as they ate, she forced herself to look down at the food in front of her, knowing how awkward he must have been feeling as it was obvious he didn’t remember having children at this time.  “Ah, yeah, Jaina. I’m your daughter, um..” She glanced back at him, trying to figure out what to say that wasn’t too awkward. “Yeah, it’s good, thank you “ Jaina took another bite before taking a breath “So how old are you? If you don’t mind me asking.”

“Yeah, my daughter,” he said out loud, although he meant to keep that thought to himself. He was still trying to process the whole thing. When she asked about his age, he couldn’t help but think about how young he was and how she seemed to be only slightly younger than him - possibly in her twenties. If she had been much younger, maybe a toddler, his mind wouldn’t be spinning nearly as much, trying to figure out how any of this made any sense.

“Yeah, I’m thirty-five,” Han answered. “The last thing from my memory was Vader, Leia, and Chewie, and then I was frozen in carbonite. I’m sure that your mother and I might have mentioned that at some point.” He paused to think about who Jaina’s mother was, and his mind was racing again at the fact he had married Leia and had children with her. “I’m sure that’s strange, hearing you’re dad is thirty-five when you’re... however old you are. Clearly not a teenager, that much I know,” he said with a bit of a laugh.

Glancing up at the sound of fighting, Han kept his drink against his lips as he watched the two people throwing fists. A few others joined in on the bar fight, and Han rolled his eyes and went back to focusing on his drink. The least of his worries were people fighting with each other over something idiotic. He was busy trying to think of ways to make some money on Coruscant when the only places he could go to were the city, and he knew there was definitely ways to earn something in the lower levels. It felt normal to find himself in a filthy bar, especially after he felt he was spending too much time with the Rebels, well, now the Resistance, and focusing on helping them with whatever they asked. He looked up once more at the commotion in the corner of the room, and laughed a bit to himself.

Han had almost no idea what he was doing or what was going on. All he wanted was to get off Coruscant and escape somewhere else, really anywhere else. He didn’t enjoy being stuck around all these people who were so focused on this war. Still, he always had to come back to the resistance’s headquarters to check in and make sure everything was fine with him as he was part of some strange experiment. As he walked through the halls, ready to leave and get back to anywhere but there, he noticed someone he’d been told about plenty of times before, but someone he hadn’t really met before. Typically, Han would continue to leave and mind his own business, but he was curious to meet this pilot he’d heard a lot about. “Poe Dameron, yeah?” he asked, walking over to the other.

Han had been mostly avoiding everyone since he’d woken up from being frozen in carbonite - well, no, that wasn’t right. His mind was still trying to wrap itself around everything, to understand that he had already been through that and he’d lived to a very old age. He was just in a different world, a different place, and his memory only went up to a certain time. He wondered if it was possible for him to regain his other memories so everything would make sense again. However, some people he was avoiding to the best of his abilities, and those four were the people he was told were his children. Now, he was seated across from one of them in a cafe and he was trying to focus on eating his food and avoiding any type of talk. “So, um, Jaina... yeah?” he said, mentally groaning at how horrible he was at talking to her. “It’s uh, it’s good to finally meet you. Although, I mean, you’ve met me. I’m just now meeting you. It’s... Well, I hope you enjoy the food. I’ll pay for everything.”

✕ … MATT LANTER … HAN SOLO: now arriving in CORUSCANT. HE stands with THE RESISTANCE/ALONE and is a THIRTY-FIVE year old CIS MALE according to their chart. past records show that they are known to be STUBBORN and CYNICAL, so tread with caution since they are still A SMUGGLER from CORELLIA… [ kaitlynn | 21 | mst | she/her ]

yeehaw let’s get it goin , folks

so, we all know han solo, good ole han. stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder. we all kno him

anyway, han’s memory now is all the way up to the end of episode 5 when he is frozen in carbonite. that’s basically his last memory. he has nothing after that.

when he found himself on coruscant, he thought that he was waking up after being frozen and thought it was all just like chill. he was back and doing his own thing

but then people told him he had some kids? and he was like? what? 

people had to explain the entire situation to him, but he was still convinced that it was all bullshit and they were messing with him and it was all fake. the last memory he had was being frozen, and now he was awake again? of course he thinks he’s waking up from that and back to fighting the Empire

he’s stressed tf out tbh. he’s confused about everything people are telling him - about how he got married to leia, has like 4 kids, and all this other stuff. just trying to figure out life and what the hell everyone is talking about.

spends most of his time in the bar drinking. mood. 

he’s a dumbass and likes to think he does what he wants and is his own person and doesn’t care about the resistance but like ... bitch cares about the resistance. he’s all for it. he always showing up talking about defeating the evil like yeah lmao sure you work alone sure, bud. 

he’s bi af and that’s all i got. thanks for attending my ted talk

he’s a total fuckin loser okay. please. he’s never been cool. people who watch the stars war are like “oh han is so cool” like no he can barely socialize with other people and can barely talk to the girl he like likes. like he’s not cool. he’s an idiot. thank u
