Good point. How about:
Luke: “I started to train her, but she was reluctant to follow the Jedi Path. Leia felt she could better help the galaxy through the Senate, like our mother once did. She surrendered her saber to me and said that one day, it would be picked up again by someone who would finish her journey. A thousand generations live in you now. We’ll always be with you, but this is your fight.”
“Leia felt she could better help the galaxy through the Senate diplomacy, like our mother once did”?
Easy fix, Senate “passive” diplomacy is very very different from jedi “active on field” diplomacy. And that’s considering old school pre-Empire Jedi, because at the end of the day we really know nothing about Luke’s jedi school teachings and goals…
