Ahh, so a war over diplomatic breakdown. That...is unfortunate.
[Luke meets her eyes, and shakes his head apologetically, feeling sorry for having dredged up memories. He speaks up in a dull, sad voice]
My own war is...a bit more ideological. Thirty years ago a man named Palpatine took control over the Galactic Senate and declared himself Emperor. He'd been manipulating behind the scenes for decades, and hiding a secret. Palpatine was a Sith Lord, a Force-sensitive like myself skilled in the Dark Side. He used his political power to eliminate enemies and turn the Republic into the Galactic Empire.
A resistance movement formed, and due to circumstances I wound up joining the Rebellion. In time, we managed to overthrow the Empire and even kill Palpatine, but even now he still has fanatically loyal followers.
