*(The Millennium Falcon flies into orbit above the planet of Ahch-To. The Falcon flies over isolated, rocky islands, rough seas with horrific, scaly creatures breaching out from to the surface, only to return to the watery depths below. The ship spots an island with one giant mountain, and a fenced off village at its base. The Falcon settles on the soft grass as the planets moon barely illuminates the landscape in front of the ship. A walkway emerges from the bottom of the Falcon showing a young girl about the age of nineteen, a tall wookie, and a blue and white astromech droid accompanying her down the ramp.)
Rey: This is it Chewie. The planet the map ends on.
Chewie: WWWGHHH!
Rey: Artoo, stay on the ship.
R2-D2: *Beeps and bloops*
(Rey turns on her flashlight as she and Chewbacca walk into the night. In the distance, Rey notices an orange light over a hill. Rey and the wookie see that the light is a bonfire from a small village surrounded by music, laughter, dancing and singing. Chewie and Rey open the gate to the town and all the music stops immediately as all the villagers notice their new visitors. Noticing that there is no threat, the celebration continues.)
Rey: This is amazing! (She turns around to notice a strange hooded man with a bushy beard talking to a villager. He notices Rey and as if he wasn't even there, he disappeared.) Where did he-?
(She turns to see that Chewbacca is too preoccupied by the party. Rey then turns back to where the man was standing and notices a long windy staircase that ascends a rather large mountain. Knowing that Chewie won't be any help from now on, she begins the climb.)
Rey: Thanks a lot, you walking carpet. (She says under her breath)
(As she reaches the top of the mountain, she notices a rather large stone door that leads into the mountain has a strange symbol carved onto it. She touches the door and shuts her eyes. She senses that a living being is beyond the doors. She opens her eyes and begins to slowly open the door with the force. She walks into the mountain and the first thing she notices is a large white tree in the middle of the room with a large branch holding an ancient looking book with the same symbol that was on the door. Rey then touches the book but as soon as she does, the sound of a lightsaber being activated, and Rey notices the weapon inches away from her throat.)
Old Man: Who are you!? What are you doing here!? How dare you enter my home!
Rey: Please listen to me, I'm with the Resistance.
Old Man: I don't care who you're with, I asked for your name!
Rey: My name is Rey.
Old man: Rey who?
Rey: That's it, I'm just Rey.
Old Man: Well then Rey, get out. (Deactivates his lightsaber)
Rey: Well you see, I can't do that just yet.
Old Man: And just why is that?
Rey: I came here for you. You're the man I've been
looking for! You're Luke Skywalker!
Luke: (His eyes widen) ... Not anymore, now please go away. (Turns around to walk away)
Rey: No wait please!
(Luke turns to see Rey open up a bag. She then pulls out his old lightsaber. His father's lightsaber.)
Luke: Where did you find that?!
Rey: Maz Kanata's castle on Takodana.
(Rey holds out the saber out to him. Luke takes hold of the weapon.)
Luke: It's been a long time since I've seen this... a long time. What was your name again?
Rey: I'm Rey.
Luke: Take it, Rey. You will need it more than I do. (He places the lightsaber in her hands) But why are you here? How did you find me?
Rey: The Resistance sent me. We need your help.
Leia sent me personally.
Luke: Leia?
Rey: Yes, now we must join back up with her to help the Resistance!
Luke: Do you honestly expect me to follow you into battle against the First Order with a laser sword in my hand? No... I can't go.
Rey: Why? You have to! If you don't then Snoke will destroy everything you and the Republic stood for and enslave the galaxy! Please you must get on the Falcon and -
Luke: Falcon? Wait a second, where's Han Solo?
