[The idea that he (and Leia, and he's vaguely relieved Ben had slipped that revelation earlier so he didn't have to add that on top of this) might have more family, which might be still alive leaves him a little breathless.
But, catching the look she's giving him and what she's saying, Luke stops walking and, after a slight hesitation pulls her into a hug. It doesn't last long, but it feels strangely easy, like everything with Leia did from the moment he met her.
Something which seems so very obvious, now.]
I'll find out about them, if we forget things that happen here when we go back, and go visit them. And if I don't forget, I'll still go visit them, of course.
... I can't believe I could still have that much family left, aside from Leia...
[And Vader, but despite the slightly lessening anxiety about it, that's still... an aching spot. Luke does, however, sound pretty amazed when he thinks about the possibility of more family.]
