[Ford shakes his head.

(He was, but he wasn't paying attention to Kylo Ren and can't place the name.)]

Doesn't ring a bell.

[Luke sighs. It's still hard to talk about this. Partly to admit his failure, but it's not simply ego. It's the pain of revisiting the thing he knows he probably can't stop.]

He's my nephew. He was here, as an inmate. Because... [He swallows.] Because I failed him. Will fail him, in my future--I try to train him, and I fail him, and he turns to the dark side. This plan I have, this new world we're building... all we do is recreate the old one.

...that's terrible! But -- but what about all you did? There has to be a way to build a society after the Supreme Lord's death that doesn't just put the Empire back in control!

[This feels DEEPLY unfair, and he's distressed on Luke's behalf.]

[Luke shakes his head.]

It's not about ... being rewarded for what I, what the Alliance, did. If we don't have something solid, something that works, to set up in its place, the vacuum left by the Empire will be filled. And now I know that I cause my nephew to turn, and that a group that feels disenfranchised by the fall of the Empire will rise to take power.
