"Yes, well, this world gives you opportunities you might not have had before. Teaching being one of them." Or in her case, learning the Force. True, from the sounds of things from her children and Allana, it seemed as though later on in life, Leia had indeed trained to be a Jedi. But not when she was still only twenty four. So she would take his trying and see what exactly happened with it. That was all anyone could do, really. It was what it was, and Leia was resourceful, she always had been. She took an opportunity and ran with it.
And that was something Galen would know as she had used that exact resourcefulness against him to get her desire to save the Wookie slaves. Who would have thought two years after that, she'd meet Han and Chewbacca as well as Luke. That they would become such integral parts of her life. She still felt bad for Han that Chewie wasn't here, but what really could she do about that?
"I do. A while ago, Alema Rar showed up, she was a Rutian Twi'lek... she had trained as a Jedi but turned to the Dark Side... she brought the Killiks here briefly, but was defeated. I use her lightsaber. I rebuilt it to make it more connected to me, though."
After all, she didn't have one of her own when she had shown up. Oh, she had used one before. In her fight with Darth Vader when she had been protecting Luke. It hadn't exactly ended well but she still had managed to not die or be disfigured so that had to say something about her skill. Yes, she'd been healed by the spirits of Yoda and Obi Wan, but she had survived.
"I haven't had much use of it beyond basic training, though. I've fought with one before, against Vader, but I was untrained so it didn't do much good."
