Mmm, I posted a reply. If you want to fit her out and go through the process of explaining gear to her (especially if this is the lightsaber she's receiving for the first time) then that's fine, though we can gloss over any lightsaber training itself and just reason that "it occurred", I think getting to missions and stuff would be a better way to actually "train" with weapons (or any other skills)
My specialty is actually E. Asian history and politics, particularly with a focus on modern China, so this paper is fairly easy to write. The problem is I'll probably be presenting on this topic at an upcoming conference in Annapolis, Maryland, and I have to think of how to expand the paper to fit into that to reduce my overall workload..
