The realization was unsettling, and it explained at least part of why he'd been so desperate to emulate his grandfather. Rey didn't think families could get this complicated, and she suddenly found herself wondering if she'd been named for someone, and what sort of intricate dramas her closest relatives may have been involved in.
She stared down at the remainder of her eggs, frowning softly as she thought over everything Luke had told her. It was a lot to take in, but as she eventually managed to bring herself to glance up at him, she wondered if he wasn't just looking at it at the entirely wrong way. Of course, the same could be said for her, but....
"But that way didn't end with them. The Jedi have done too much throughout history to simply not exist anymore. That's why you're still here. And that's why we need you."
She hesitated for a moment before setting her plate aside and reaching out, gingerly placing her hand over one of Luke's. "You aren't an easy fix to the galaxy's problems, Master Skywalker. But your legend is a beacon of hope in dark times. The Resistance might not need the Jedi, but they desperately need hope."
