Scout is a character from Star Wars. Specifically, from the novel "Yoda: Dark Rendezvous", which came out late in 2004. ...And lesser roles in a couple books that came out later, but I'm not touching those. She's also namedropped in "The Essential Guide to Warfare".
She's well acquainted with Master Yoda, knows other Jedi Council members, and had some interactions with Anakin Skywalker, though she doesn't remember him well now. Scout was fourteen or fifteen by the time Revenge of the Sith happened, and has spent about two years in hiding, on the run, or going to ground on some backwater. Before that she was raised and educated in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
Because she's spent two years avoiding the Purge, she's extremely reluctant to let anyone know she's a Jedi, either by telling them or otherwise. The Padawan braid might hint at it a little, but it's kept shorter than is customary and she tends to undo it when there are unknowns around. The lightsaber would pretty well prove it, but she's unwilling to bring it out casually.
Bottom line is that any references to Jedi or the Force, Yoda quotes, etc, are going to catch her interest fast. Whether or not she asks about them depends. Early on, Scout wouldn't react at all, but as she gets more established and she starts to lose the lingering suspicion that she'll be handed over to the Empire if it makes contact with Earth - and a lot of references will slow down the process something fierce - she'd become more likely to say something.
Your characters can keep making such references, I wouldn't want to prevent that, and some fourthwalling is inevitable once she's willing to use her lightsaber. But I'd appreciate it if they were kept to a minimum in her presence while she's just starting out. Please leave a comment if you have any questions. Thanks!
