Rey lightly bites her lower lip, then opens her mouth to speak.
"Where I come from the people who have powers like mine are called Force Users," Rey says. It's probably the closest thing they have to mages. "A long time ago, before I was born, if you had Force Powers, you would go to a school and eventually apprentice under a more experienced Force-user. Eventually you'd graduate and become a Jedi Knight, and some later became Jedi Masters."
A beat.
"There's some Force Users that weren't so good. They called them Sith. They ended up working with the Empire and wiped out the Jedi so there were none left. For a long time, I thought they were a myth."
Rey looks down at her hands. "I don't really understand everything about your mages," she says, "But I've thought a lot about Jedi while learning about them from Qui-Gon... and I can't help but wonder if the Jedi would still be here if the Jedi teachings weren't so rigidly enforced. People just want to live their lives the way they want to."
