STAR WARS EPISODE VIII - A NEW ORDER

March of the Resistance

The highly modified Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-1300 light freighter soared through the sky, being masterfully manoeuvred and navigated by its pilot. This freighter was the infamous Millennium Falcon. Piloting the ship, along with her co-pilot Chewbacca, was Rey. She hadn't yet revealed to Finn what the plan was, she was going to keep it a surprise from him, much to his discontent.
"Rey!" Shouted Finn. He walked into the cockpit. Chewie roared, letting Rey know Finn was behind her.
"Oh, hey. You okay?" She asked. Finn was unsure why she was keeping this a secret. He didn't see any point of keeping it from him.
"Listen Rey, can't you just tell me?"
"I'll give you a clue." She teased with a grin on her face, "We're going to see a friend." Her smile widened even further.
"...a friend? Umm, well I don't know if you have realised it yet, but..." He moved closer to her, and in a sarcastic whisper in her ear, said; "I don't have any friends outside the Resistance." She waved him off.
"Oh sure you do. Just wait and see." She said, once again smiling. Chewie laughed at Finn's annoyance. Finn turned to Chewie.
"Oh she told you but not me? Great." Said Finn, who was clearly not enjoying Rey & Chewie teasing him like this. Before Finn could say another word, the ship lunged forward, and Finn fell over. A blast of blue and white light filled the front window, as the ship jumped into light speed. Once the ship settled, Finn got up onto his feet, brushing himself down.
"You could have...I don't know...told me we were going into light speed." Said Finn, once again sarcastically. Rey and Chewbacca laughed at him once more as the ship moved its way through the atmosphere of a nearby planet. As Finn looked out of the window, the terrain of the planet started become clearer. There was little greenery, however the ground was somewhat gritty, and arenaceous. Rey was continuously tilting her head, seemingly looking for something. Finn was still oblivious to who or what she was looking for. Suddenly Rey turned the Falcon, and safely landed it in on the gritty surface. As the three of them walked off of the ship. The grit crumbled beneath their feet, and even though they had boots and shoes on, the warmth of the surface was still noticeable.
"Follow me." Said Rey, and Chewie and Finn walked after her. The surface on which they were walking was mainly flat, apart from a mound of the same gritty material in a big dome shape. It seemed to have been held together somehow, and made into a home-like structure.
They stopped as they reached the entrance.

Rey cleared her throat. "It's Rey. I'm here with Finn and Chewie."
"CHEWIE!?" Came a shout from inside. Finn recognised the voice, and as the small alien strode out of her house, a sense of relief came upon Finn. He had been panicking slightly on who they were visiting, but he was more than happy when he saw the face of Maz Kanata.
"Oh Chewie my lovely, furry, favourite wookiee in the whole wide Galaxy!" She cried out in happiness, pulling the wookiee into a hug as came down onto one knee. She laughed as she allowed them inside her small home. The three of them had to duck down walking in, and then sat down on the floor as there wasn't enough room to stand up. The home had no windows, as it was only a mound of gritty substance. The only light came from a few candles dotted in and around the interior of her home.
After they had concluded the niceties and welcomes, Maz spoke up.
"Well as we all know, you aren't just here to visit me."
Rey and Finn were taken aback by this statement, and began to feel instantly guilty.
"It's fine, it's fine. What is the help you require from me?" Asked Maz, with a kind smile etched upon her face.
Rey inhaled deeply and began speaking, "Master Skywalker has...lets just say he got quite annoyed, and after all these years of having a defeatist attitude and a sense of failure, he walked away from our training, and has said he won't train us anymore." Rey looked down to the floor in disappointment, knowing that this situation was actually quite severe, and she internally kicked herself for joking around so much.
"And why was this Rey? What happened?" Maz asked inquisitively.
Rey was about to speak until Finn interrupted, "It was my fault." Ignoring a protesting look from Rey, he continued, "I guess I'm just not good enough or capable enough to be a Jedi. I can't feel the force, I can't use the force, I can't jump around and do all of the skilled tricks that Rey can."
"Finn, you must listen to me boy." She bent towards him, becoming face to face with him. "I know the force, I can use the force, but I'm not a Jedi. Surely the same thing can happen with you, just the opposite way around." She placed her palm onto the chest of Finn. "If you feel in your heart that you can be a Jedi, then you will be a Jedi."
Finn was taken aback by this comment, however because of her wisdom and calming voice, he believed every single word she spoke. He mouth was dry however, and he was unsure what to say now.
"I wondered how long it would be until this situation arose. I think it is now the time that I reveal to you that I have a secret. But first we must go and collect Master Skywalker." Said Maz. She smiled to other three and they began to make their way back to the Falcon.

Resistance Base

Luke Skywalker was sitting on a stone step just outside the Resistance Base, staring out at the blue sky and greenery that encircled him. He heard footsteps behind him. He turned to see his sister, and the leader of the Resistance, Leia. She sat down beside him. She held his hand. It was cold. No words had to be spoken between them, and they embraced in a hug.
"Hello General!" Called a voice from nearby. Leia & Luke jumped as they turned around to see C3PO.
Realising he had interrupted the pair, he began babbling, "Oh-uh-ah I see I've interrupted, never mind, I'll inform you later-."
"Threepio what is it?" Asked Leia.
"The First Order have launched an attack on the Planet Gandereu." He proclaimed in a state of panic.
Leia eyes lit up wide and she ran into the Base. Luke remained sitting on the step, and sighed.
"All Squad Leaders to me!" She bellowed. Poe Dameron, and a few other key members of the Resistance fleet ran their way over to Leia.
"Gandereu is under attack by the First Order. It is our duty as the Resistance to protect the civilians of this planet. Squad Leaders, prepare to launch!"
