- "Nooo! Aftab! General Organa! It can't be…"
"It…it seems it can." - ―The Mon Calamari and Rey
A Mon Calamari individual with orange skin and eyes was present in Dac City on the planet Mon Cala, wearing beige clothing.[1] In 34 ABY,[2] a Quarren sabotaged a shuttle that several members of the Resistance were planning on using to leave the planet.[3] Upon witnessing the resulting explosion, the Mon Calamari cried out the names of two of its members, General Leia Organa and the Mon Calamari Aftab Ackbar, unable to believe their apparent deaths.[1]
However, the individual's statement of "it can't be…" was finished by the Jedi-in-training Rey with[1] her[4] saying "it… it seems it can," as she had used the Force to levitate a number of crates, shielding herself and the Resistance members from the explosion.[1]
