[You can't actively change anything unless you actively believe in it first, he figures. It wasn't until he joined the Ghost crew that he started having hope again, and it was that hope that moved him to change. His parents had tried to do the same thing for Lothal, and he hopes now that he did an okay job at continuing their work.
Likewise, his words aren't a criticism either. Just a reminder.]
Oh yeah. I actually saw a future where a Jedi with a green lightsaber killed Palpatine and restored balance to the Force. It was pretty wizard.
[Since he's the last Jedi left fighting, it should be obvious that it's him and not any other 19 year old born around the creation of the Empire who lives in the Outer Rim and has a green lightsaber.]
But seriously, if you're hoping I'll reveal some huge secret of the Rebellion, there isn't any. The future I've seen is vague, and doesn't extend much beyond Lothal. Besides, my faith's not really in the Alliance to Restore the Republic and so on. I think they'll do fine, but if we have any secret weapon, it's the ordinary people going about their everyday lives under the Empire.
The Empire rules by fear. And that's all that's keeping it in power now. When people realize they don't have to be afraid, that they're not alone, that we're stronger together... that's what the real Rebellion is. My goal was to free Lothal. And we did it, without the Rebel Alliance, without any real army. With friends, with family, with ordinary people who believed in a better future for their home. If we managed that, what's stopping every other planet from rising up? That's... what I hope at least.
