[he sort of shrugs, a very light gesture.] The Empire did not care about age. Most wars don't. Even in the Clone Wars, it was impossible to avoid sparing children the face of war.
[on both sides. for such a short war, the clone wars nearly consumed the whole galaxy and birthed an empire that continued to drag in children.]
It was not much of a choice, and I do not mean that in a bad way this time. The Rebellion became the only thing standing in the way of the Empire ruling everything. [he gave too much of himself to it, that much he can... probably admit, at least to himself, but given the choice, he knows he would do it all over again.]
[he wasn't lying to jyn when he'd told her he lost everything. all he had left was the cause, and the cause took him in.] I was officially recruited a few years after the Clone Wars ended. They had better resources. It was the logical jump from tiny rebel cell into growing resistance.
[his fight has literally never stopped. war is his blood.]
