Only a few years after the fall of the Empire, Han Solo vanished. He was not seen or heard from for many years.
Finally, Han Solo has returned, only to find the galaxy torn by war once again. In his absence the First Order has risen, lead by Snoke...
A few days had passed and Ben had mostly recovered from his injuries. He stood near the holo-table where many of the Resistance leaders had gathered.
"We called this meeting to discuss two very important things; the map that leads to Luke Skywalker and the discovery of this new weapon," said Leia. "Were you able to find the last piece of the map?"
Finn nodded and handed it to her.
Leia smiled in relief. "Rose, Paige, were you able to find anything out?"
Paige shook her head. "Their system is way more complicated than the Death Star, they have backup power systems separate systems for each floor. And unlike the Death Star a weakness wasn't intentionally built into it. It's a planet not a battle station, blowing it up will be a lot harder."
"But we know that they are drawing the power for the firing system from the sun, stabilizing that kind of power would take a large reactor and an advanced cooling system otherwise the planet would be blown to bits by solar power they're drawing in. What we need are plans of the base to isolate the locations of those systems. We didn't have time to find them while we were there," said Rose.
"But where are the plans being kept?" Leia asked.
"I believe there's a copy of them on Hux's ship, the Finalizer," said Finn.
"So we steal the plans, find a weakness and blow it to kingdom come," said Han.
"I'll go," Finn volunteered.
"Me too," Rose offered.
Paige nodded.
"Where do you need me?" Ben asked his mother.
"I need you and Rey to find Luke, if this plan doesn't work we'll need his help more than ever," Leia replied.
Ben nodded.

Rey and Ben walked across the large landing bay. They both had a bag slung over their shoulders, ready for what was sure to be a long trip.
Rey stopped to hug Finn goodbye. "Be careful," she told him.
He nodded, then Rey and Ben continued to the ship that was waiting for them.
Han and Leia stood by the lowered ramp to bid them farewell. Rey and Ben hugged them both in turn.
"Take R2D2 with you," Leia told them, gestured to the little blue droid.
Rey and Ben both nodded. They smiled as R2D2 came over to join them.
"May the Force be with you," Leia told them.
"You too," Ben answered, then he and Rey climbed onto the ship.
They made their way to the cockpit and sat down in the pilot and co-pilot seats.
Ben turned to look at her in question of rather or not she was ready to go. She nodded and they punched in the coordinates. Once they were free of the planet's atmosphere, they jumped into light speed.

After a few days of flying they finally reached the planet that the map led to. It was a beautiful planet, covered for the most part in water; more water than Rey had ever seen in her whole life. The vast ocean was dotted with small islands that stood high above the ocean waves. Though made of stone, the islands were covered in lush green grass.
Ben could feel the Force flowing through the planet, even stronger than many of the other planets he had visited. He couldn't help but wonder what this place was. He could feel his uncle's presence here as well.
He followed the feeling, guiding the ship towards the place he felt his uncle's presence.
At last, they landed atop one of the islands.
Rey pulled out the lightsaber. "This belonged to your uncle, I think I should return it him."
Ben nodded. "I'm sure he'll be happy to see it again."
Rey smiled, then they both climbed out of the ship. As soon as they were outside, Rey could small the salty air and feel the moist air on her cheeks. This was so unlike the world she had grown up in, but she liked it.
There was a stone staircase leading up the side of the mountain. Above them, a cloaked figure could be seen looking out across the ocean.
Ben began climbing up the steps, excited to finally be reunited with his uncle. Rey hurried to follow after him.
Soon they came to the cliff where the cloaked figure stood.
The figure turned around to face them, he smiled as he saw Ben, but grew puzzled as he saw Rey standing next to him.
She pulled the lightsaber from her bag and held it out to the hooded Jedi. A look of surprise crossed his face and he pushed his cowl back. He stared at her for a long moment, as though not believing what he was seeing.
