Quarrie and Hera Syndulla in “Unfinished Business”

Why would I hand over my ship to just any pilot?

Hera Syndulla

Would any pilot risk their life to come to this... death trap?

Perhaps not. So why did *you*?

Hera Syndulla

I was a little girl when the Clone War came to Ryloth. My mother hid us below-ground, but I'd peek out when the Republic ships flew over, as they fought to liberate my world. I dreamt of nothing more than to be up there with them.

So you left your family to fight.

Hera Syndulla

I left my family so I could fly.

As a combat pilot.

Hera Syndulla

If we want freedom, we must make difficult choices. I chose to leave my family, I chose to learn to fly, and then I chose to use that ability to help others in need. It's all rooted in something I can't explain. A need to be up there, because even when there are explosions all around me, and... things are at their worst... I feel like I'm at my best.
