Then he shoves himself up into a standing position, heedless of his lack of clothing, so he can be eye-to-eye with his grandson. That recognition only means his presence in the Force flares more brightly, a little like a supernova someone's managed to contain.
Once upon a time it was more like a supernova barely kept contained and leaking around the edges. Then it was like a black hole folding in on itself and destroying everything around it.
This is an improvement.
"I think you know the answer to that already, Ben."
