I operated a water vaporator for a lot longer than I've piloted an X-Wing. Doesn't mean I should stick to moisture farming.

That's the worst comparison I've ever heard.

Yeah.

Okay, can I compare piloting and being a Jedi?

[garbagepilot]

You can, but I'm always going to like my staff better. I know there are some things I have to use the lightsaber for, that's why I'm committed to practicing with it, but I use a staff because it's the best weapon for me.

Not me as someone that can use the Force. Just Rey.

I don't want to make you do anything, Rey. I don't think you shouldn't use your staff. I just want to be sure you're giving other options a fair shot.

[Even if he did want to shape her into something she's not, which she knows for a fact he doesn't and never would try, it's more important to her to know he can't. She's fully formed, and maybe that's why no one tries to train Force sensitive people after a certain age.

She also wants to cut this off before it goes any worse than this.]

I just wanted to tell you about what I did, so I'll let you go.

Sorry. I am proud of you. Thanks for telling me.

[He has no desire to shape her into something she's not, or imply she's not fully formed. It's just that every time training comes up, she mentions the staff, and that feels like a barrier to reaching, to him. But he'll let it go, simply because he knows he's hit a wall.]
