He's not sure he's got a lot to be proud of. It's not something he's ever thought about, considered, but then, these questions seem to make him consider a lot of stuff he hadn't before.
Proud? What can he be proud of?
Can he proud that, to his mind, it's his own fault that his family died in the battle for Coruscant? He doesn't realise that, if he hadn't gone along with Viqi Shesh, they'd all have died, either killed by Vong patrols or desperate underworld scum.
Can he be proud, then, that he caused the Solos pain, simply by looking like their youngest -- dead -- son? It's Viqi Shesh's fault he looks so much like Anakin Solo, but even before her interference, he had more than a passing resemblance. It's not his fault. But no, that's not something to be proud of, either.
His childhood? Stealing from rich people: the tourists stupid enough to venture that low into Coruscant, businessmen who couldn't avoid it...
...helping his littlest sister, just three years old, find her stuffed Ewok when she lost it at the recreation centre...
...making sure the girls got to school and nursery okay when his mother was sick...
...just being there, strong, determined, all of eight years old, man of the family when his father was gone...
Last year, this time when Tam was sick, I filmed Wolam for some short feature on the refugees arriving on Denon near the end of the war, and I didn't shake the camera once!
