I don't think there's a person in the galaxy who hasn't lost someone to them. It's just part of life.

[ Unless you live close to the core worlds and even then. The galaxy wasn't exactly safe under the Republic, he's heard enough stories from regular folks about it, but it's become outright dangerous with the Empire. ]

I tried to save him... well it didn't work out. He was a great guy, the kind that's rarer and rarer these days.
