"And she said specifically she was a Jedi herself?" Qui-Gon asked. "What exactly did she tell you about the Republic, Jedi and the Force?"

It wasn't easy to make a Jedi break down. For one to be "babbling"...well, it was rather worrying just thinking about it. There were probably a number of factors, like just time overall, or the possibility that she hadn't been able to adjust to her disappearing connection with the Force. But being a Jedi wasn't simply defined by a strong connection to the Force. It was also knowing that it would be there regardless. It was about understanding one's place in the universe and knowing that you would always be a part of the greater Force even if you couldn't reach it anymore.

Something that Qui-Gon thought he was better understanding the longer he stayed in Landels.
