[That's a pretty reasonable way to put it. Leia's history is probably better than his (and more biased in the Old Republic's direction, he'd bet, if she's been in line to aid the Rebellion for her whole life) but she'd be less than eager to share it. Han isn't entirely sure where he stands on all this Force business-- it's getting harder to be a skeptic-- but he doesn't think of the Jedi with the same mystical respect.]

Their grip isn't as tight as they'd like further out, [he hedges with a shrug.] But the closer you get to the Core worlds, the harder it is to slip by. They don't exactly have a lot of competition.
