"Back then, most of the recruits for the Alliance were farmboys and dreamers, like Skywalker. They had spirit, but it wasn't always enough. When Han Solo asked me to strengthen the defenses on Yavin IV, I knew he really wanted warriors, not dreamers. Me, I was the guy he sent to find them. It wasn't hard. The galaxy was full of people who hated the Empire. Smugglers, pirates, gunfighters, it didn't matter what they'd been before. All that mattered was that they were willing to fight, and maybe die, for the Alliance."
