She's a bit surprised that he even knows the word. Most people didn't, here. One of the many strange things here. "I'm a student at the Jedi Academy." It wasn't like she was going around claiming to be a full blown Jedi Knight or anything. "A pretty advanced one though."

That did make her realize she'd skipped something important though. Her mother would be appalled at her manners. "I guess I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Jaina Solo." She's guessing if he knows what a Jedi is that might just mean something. The Solo part, even if he wasn't up on the names of politicians' kids.
