It wouldn't, but now he's here. You might as well do something about it. Maybe talking to him is worth a try, if not to befriend him then to understand why does he exist. What do you have to lose? No one here would judge for it.
[Alas,Kay doesn't know these people. Otherwise he would be happy to gossip about them.]
And have some stranger try to tell me again what it means to be a Jedi?
[ Yes, he sounds mildly agitated by that. ]
I've been a Jedi for most of my live. I know what it means to be a Jedi. And I know how it differs from the tales that beings tell themselves across the galaxy!
If he's from that far ahead, then the Jedi have gone extinct anyway, Kay.
[ He says this wearily, then shakes his head. ]
And it's not that simple. There's just no set answer for your question, but...
My very first Master, Qui-Gon Jinn said this to me before I even became a Padawan: Being a Jedi isn't an easy life. I didn't fully understand it back then, and I think I still only understand part of it. But part of being a Jedi is to set aside all your selfish desires. You have to make decisions, and not often easy ones. You have to trust in the Force and let it guide you.
[ At this, Anakin can't help but feel guilty. He's not always the perfect Jedi he possibly should be, but more often than not he tends to forget all about that. More often than not he lets his own selfishness take the lead. ]
Your Jedi, perhaps but the Force just can't stop existing. New Force users could have appeared, no?
I see. I'm not Jedi and I mean no offense to your Master but if the Force can only be felt, because it doesn't speak or has a tangible form, who came up with all those rules for it? The Sith? The Jedi? Someone even more ancient? How it is possible to know what it really wants from you? Isn't it conceited to assume that things can not change when the Force is an energy that it's always doing that?
[Kay is a bit confused by the philosphy concerning the Jedi, not because he things it's bad, but because it seems to be lacking deep.]
Being Force-sensitive alone doesn't make you a Jedi. Neither does it make you a Sith. There are plenty of species that refuse to have their Force-sensitive younglings trained as Jedi. Maybe you can learn to be a Force user through a different mentor. But that still doesn't make you a Jedi.
These rules you don't understand? They're part of actually being a Jedi. The Sith don't follow them, naturally. They have their own rules. And I assume a non-aligned Force user doesn't follow them either.
As for what the Force wants... Well.
[ Here, he smiles faintly. ]
I guess you need to experience it to truly understand.

[ Yeah... He's never been a fan of being all over the Holonet. Couldn't they talk about Mace Windu or Shaak Ti and let him win the war or something? ]

[Honest question here. He doesn't know the exact definition.]
He's from a time ahead of you, decades. Perhaps things have changed?

Yes, I guess so. Droids can't be Force sensitive, can they? You need to be organic for that?

On the other hand I do possess a Force-sensitive rock.
no subject
...sorry. Did you say rock?

That kind of presents are important, even if they don't have much value.
