C-3PO (CONT'D)

R2-D2 may contain some much needed

good news.

LEIA:

Tell me.

Rey stands with Leia, Poe C-3PO, BB-8 and a handful of

Resistance Officers. Suddenly R2-D2 PROJECTS A HOLOGRAM! A

LARGE NAVIGATIONAL MAP WITH A SPECIFIC MISSING CHUNK!

BB-8 BEEPS -- Poe turns to him --

POE:

Yeah, all right, buddy, hold on --

Poe runs over -- removes the ancient data device that Lor

San Tekka had given him from a base computer. He inserts it

back inside BB-8, who then PROJECTS HIS MAP -- which he

SHRINKS DOWN TO SIZE -- and the two droids MOVE SLIGHTLY --

TOGETHER -- THE TWO HOLOGRAMS UNITE, BB-8'S PIECE FILLING IN

R2-D2'S PERFECTLY!

Everyone REACTS -- amazed --

C-3PO

Oh! The map! It is complete!

LEIA:

(hand on her heart)

-- Luke --

Suddenly there are CHEERS AND EMBRACES.

C-3PO leans down to R2-D2 and says, quietly, sweetly:

C-3PO

(to R2-D2)

Oh my dear friend. How I've missed

you.

INT. RESISTANCE BASE - I.C.U. - DAY

A NEW DAY. Finn, unconscious in an I.C.U. POD. His fate

uncertain. Rey sits with him. Deeply worried. Finally she

leans in, close to him. She kisses him and says, quietly,

despite her fear:

REY:

We'll see each other again. I believe

that. Thank you, my friend.

EXT. D'QAR - DAY

Chewie does last minute checks of the Falcon. Rey stands

with Leia a beat and then turns to head to the Falcon. As

Rey walks off, she hears Leia call out:

LEIA:

Rey.

Rey turns around.

LEIA (CONT'D)

May the Force be with you.

This fills Rey up. She smiles gratefully. Rey crosses to

the Falcon.

INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT - DAY

Rey sits in the pilot seat, Chewie as co-pilot. Rey looks

at him compassionately.

Rey FLICKS SWITCHES and --

EXT. D'QAR - DAY

The Millennium Falcon RISES.

Leia, with Poe, BB-8, and C-3PO (with his proper arm

replaced), watches the next generation of Jedi begin her

journey.

EXT. SPACE - DAY

The Falcon FLIES through space and BLASTS to LIGHTSPEED.

EXT. AHCH-TO - DAY

A pristine and mighty OCEAN. Endless BLUE, dotted with

random, beautiful, mountainous BLACK ROCK ISLANDS, dotted

with countless GREEN TREES.

The Millennium Falcon FLIES INTO VIEW, BANKS toward one of

the ISLANDS.

EXT. AHCH-TO ISLAND - DAY

Rey, her staff strapped to her back, begins her hike up the

considerable mountain, glancing back at Chewie and R2-D2,

who watch her from the bottom of the ramp. A deep breath

and Rey continues her journey.

EXT. AHCH-TO ISLAND - STONE STAIRS - DAY

Built within the rock and foliage of this idyllic island are

seemingly endless ANCIENT STONE STEPS. Rey continues to

climb them, determined, despite her fatigue.

EXT. AHCH-TO ISLAND - STONE STRUCTURES - DAY

Rey arrives at a clearing. Small, modest, primitive stone

structures. But no one around. Rey walks past them, sees,

senses no one.

And then she stops. Feels something. She turns.

Standing forty feet away from her, his back to us, is a MAN,

in a CLOAK AND ROBE.

Rey stares, knowing exactly who it is. But she just stares

for what seems like forever. Until he finally TURNS, SLOWLY,

to her. Pulls back his hood.

IT IS LUKE SKYWALKER.

Older now, white hair, bearded. He looks at Rey. A kindness

in his eyes, but there's something tortured, too. He doesn't

need to ask her who she is, or what she is doing here. His

look says it all.

In response, Rey pulls something from the pack.

LUKE'S LIGHTSABER.

And she holds it out to him. An offer. A plea. The galaxy's

only hope.

HOLD ON LUKE SKYWALKER'S INCREDIBLE FACE, amazed and

conflicted at what he sees, as our MUSIC BUILDS, the promise

of an adventure, just beginning...
