Luke is sitting at the bar with a glass of firewhisky, which he hasn't had in quite some time.

Also, a Jedi's emotions are precarious, with their connection to the Force. When one's emotions are not focussed on the Force, it is easier, you are correct, to Fall to the Dark." A long pause. "However, it is possible that this might be overcome. It will not be the easiest road, but that does not mean it is not worth it." A small smile. "The Jedi are not what they used to be. They will not be what they used to be." It would seem that the dead Jedi has been thinking. "I must meet this girl of yours."
