[For a moment Luke’s very blue eyes fill the screen. Then he pulls back, adjusts something so the video focuses, and you see that he’s got a viewport behind him, with streams of flying Coruscant traffic. He looks serious, a bit worried, and he's wearing someone else's oversized shirt. Each word is carefully enunciated, so there's barely a trace of his Rim accent.]
Is it on...? Oh. Yeah.
Okay, I need to get a message to the Outer Rim Territories. Arkanis Sector, along the 5709-DC Shipping Lane. The one habitable planet in Tatoo System, Tatooine. On that, the Great Chott Salt Flat’s got the city Mos Eisely. About forty kilometers west of it’s Anchorhead. That's close enough.
I need to get a message to Owen and Beru Lars.
[And he brightens quite a bit. Here's the accent, too.]
I’m on Imperial Center! It’s amazing! Look, look, there’s probably more people in speeders out there right now than in all Anchorhead! The whole planet’s a city! When I woke up, it was actually raining! Real rain! It’s so humid here, I keep thinking something broke, but this is just how the air is!
[Now Luke sort of winces and looks guilty.]
I don’t know what happened. But tell them I didn’t mean to go without saying goodbye. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I hope they don’t worry about me too much. I need to tell them I’m okay. I need them to know Luke Skywalker is okay.
[A troubled look.]
It feels kind of... sad, and angry here.
