Rogue 2 finds Solo and Skywalker

News has come in from Echo Base sources that Rogue 2, real name Zev Senesca, has this morning discovered the very much alive bodies of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. The news, sent in by automated text message from a nearby communications droid, comes after many in the base assumed both men to be dead. Indeed, as late as 6am General Rieekan had ordered a one minute silence scheduled for later that day.

"The news is incredibly welcome," said Rieekan in a subsequent Holonet transmission. "Solo is one of the best star pilots in the galaxy - and no-one who's had such praise heaped upon them has ever gone wrong. Skywalker's OK too. I knew his father you know. Bit of a pretty boy, but I guess things worked out OK for him if a Jedi can have a sex life. More than I've got, anyway."

Chewbacca, Solo's life partner, was also said to be excited and pleased by the news, although no interpreter could be found to fully decode the wookiee's utterances.

Debriefing has already taken place to discuss Skywalker's initial disappearance, with many claiming that he will receive a courtmarshall of some kind for his endangering actions. Since Skywalker's exploits destroying the Death Star, many have speculated that his role in the destruction was overblown. Hundreds of Tumblr users have strongly suggested that had a woman been as involved in the action there would have been no press coverage of the incident at all.
