Rey, Ben, Finn, and Poe stood in the first Jedi Temple looking at the statue in front of them. The statue was made completely of Kyber crystals. It was a statue of a young man. Finn and Poe didn't know who it was, but they could tell that he must've been important. Rey and Ben knew who it was.

The man appeared to have a lightsaber in his hand, and he was in the defensive formation of Djem So. He had unruly hair, and a scar on his right eye.

Finn and Poe saw how Ben was near tears and Rey let one rogue tear fall down her face. "Guys, I mean no offense, but who is it, because this person has you both crying?" Poe asked. Ben turned towards Finn and Poe. He gave them a sad smile. "That is my grandfather, Anakin Skywalker." Finn looked puzzled. "But, I thought Darth Vader was your grandfather." Rey and Ben looked grim. Then Finn understood what happened.

Poe walked over to Ben and gave him a bro hug. "I'm sorry, man!" Ben smiled.

Rey's face lit up when she sensed a familiar presence. She turned around and saw the Chosen One's blue tinted, ghostly form. "Hello, Rey!" He said with his signature smile. She chuckled. "Hello, Master!" He looked the same way he did when she first saw him: unruly hair, kind eyes, cute smile, a scar next to his right eye, and a look of mischief.

Ben was the first one of the boys to notice Anakin. A smile stretched across his face as ran up to Rey and Anakin. "Grandpa!" Anakin smiled. "Hey, Benny!" Surprisingly they were able to hug each other even though Anakin looked ghostly (no pun intended).

"Ben, has your mother stopped prioritizing the galaxy over you you poor, poor thing? Tell me the truth, because I have something on her that she probably doesn't want the few remaining oblivious people to know: I am her father." Anakin whispered. Rey snickered.

"Ben, Rey, there's something you should know... You can stop me from turning to the Dark Side!--" At this point Finn and Poe stepped in. "Wait, so if we stop you from turning, then we could avoid this entire disaster?" Finn asked hopefully. Anakin nodded. Poe interjected. "Even if we wanted to, which we do, we can't, I may not be a Jedi, but I know science. That is impossible!"

Anakin sighed. "Well, you could always time travel." Rey nodded. "We'll do it! Now, how do we do it?"
