[That makes Starkiller think a little. While Master Kota had called him a Jedi more than once, and had gone to a lot of trouble to make him look the part, he'd never really considered himself anything. He wasn't a Sith any more, but he wasn't really a proper Jedi, either. Not so long as he drew on the Dark Side, anyway. He shrugs.]

Master Kota called me a Jedi, but I think he did that more to give me confidence than anything else. Some of the things I did weren't very Jedi, but I did them for the right reasons. I'm not sure if that counts or not.

[If Rey looks close, she'll notice burn scars that could only have come from a lightsaber crisscrossing his arms. This was a man who had seen a LOT of combat. More than anyone his age should have as a Jedi.]
