Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Chapter 1 - Part One
Rey never wanted this kind of adventure.
But somehow it found her in the form of a BB unit Astromech droid. And has, since then, took her on a perilous journey, getting her almost killed several times, and changed her life drastically.
Now, after finally completing the map to find Luke Skywalker. She adventures out with Chewbacca and BB-8 to the mysterious planet Luke has exiled himself on for years.
REY'S POV
We stared at each other for what felt like an eternity.
My mind was racing.
This is him, Luke Skywalker, The Last Jedi, is right in front of me.
He was older and more scruffy than I'd expected.
His face was etched with wrinkles that could only mean decades of worry and exhaustion.
His hair was grey and greasy and hung limply from his head.
But his eyes sparkled with life. They were, oddly, somewhat familiar.
I held out the lightsaber. His lightsaber.
But his gaze never left my face.
We stood there. At the top of that cliff. The wind gently blowing his robes. And blowing stray hairs in my face. Looking at each other with an unbearable silence. My heart was beating fast in my chest. My hands were shaking. I could feel energy pulsing from him.
The Force.
A mystery that had, somehow, gotten me in this mess.
Only a week.
It's felt like a lifetime.
Only a week since my life changed. For the better or worse I have yet to find out.
Finally, he took a step forward.
And so did I.
And we continued till we were about a meter apart.
"Luke Skywalker." I breathed out.
He only nodded.
I got down on one knee and held out his lightsaber.
He only stared at it. As if he couldn't. believe what he was seeing. Then finally he took it.
I hadn't realized I had been holding my breath in, and slowly breathed out as he examined his lightsaber.
"Thank you." Is all he said.
Then he turned around and turned it onThe blue beam whipped through the air as he tested it out.
"It's been a long time." He said to himself. And then turned around.
"Come." He motioned for me to follow him and he turned around and started walking down the mountain. "There must be a lot to catch up on."
Chapter 1 - Part Two
After the Death Star was finally gone for good, and the Emperor, defeated.
Luke, Leia, and Han were finally given the chance to lay back and possibly carry out semi-normal lives.
Luke, who has been given the nickname The Last Jedi, decides to take in the role of teaching the future new Jedi and restoring peace to a broken galaxy.
As for Leia and Han, now married and had a child. They were able to settle down and become a normal family. Until their son started showing signs of being incredibly Force sensitive, that is...
BEN'S POV
"Now Ben, the key to using the Force, is to clear your mind." He says.
I look at him quizzically.
Clear my mind? How do I do that?
"I want you to close your eyes." He commands.
I close them, not sure how it's supposed to help.
"Focus on the stone in front of you."
I try. But all I can focus on is the darkness from my closed eyelids.
"Focus Ben, focus!" He presses on.
"How am I suppose to focus on the rock if I can't see it?" I exclaim infuriated.
"You know it's there right?" He asks.
I nod. My eyes still closed.
"Then clear yourself of other distractions, empty your mind of thoughts. And focus. Try to feel it through the Force"
I try again, keeping my eyes closed, and focus. Something happens, small and faint I barely notice it till it gets stronger and stronger.
"I feel it! I feel it!" I shout.
"Good!" He says happily. "Now hold out your arm and imagine holding the rock up with the Force."
I hold out my arm as instructed and imagine it being held up. I try and try but it's not doing anything.
"It's too heavy!" I shout and open my eyes.
I sit myself down on the ground and cross my arms in frustration.
"Ben, you have much to learn, but it will come in time, trust me." He sits beside me. "It was difficult for me too."
"Really? Because it seems that I'm the only one having problems, all the others have got it." I mutter.
"Yes, but they are older than you and I have been training them for a lot longer then you. I have faith in you, you are strong with the Force." He pats my back.
"Yeah, well I sure doesn't seem like it."
"Sure it does, you just don't see it."
"Pfft, whatever." I mumble and turn myself in the other direction.
He gives a sigh of defeat. "I guess that's it for this lesson. Dinner's soon so wash up before coming in."
"Gotcha" I say.
He turns and walks away.
I watch the sun as it starts to go down and kick at the sand with my feet.
What was I not understanding? He says I'm strong with the force, yet I can't lift a stupid rock.
I pick it up and roll it around in my hand.
It has random bumps and crevasses along its surface. Just an ordinary rock.
Then why is it so heavy to pick up?
"Stop thinking about why and how and just use the Force, young one."
I drop the rock with a thud and spin around. The voice sounded right behind me. It was quiet, almost a whisper. But when I look there's no one there.
"Hello?" I call. "Who's there?"
I scan my surroundings. Nothing but orangey desert. Where could the voice have come from if-
"I'm speaking in your mind, young one."
I'm getting really freaked out now. My heart is racing.
"How? How can I hear you? How are you in my head" I call out.
I probably sound like a blubbering idiot, talking to myself.
"The Force. It is strong in you, young one."
The Force.
Wow, that's just swell.
It allows me to hear strange voices in my head, yet I can lift a rock the size of my hand.
"Who are you then? And stop calling me young one!" I order.
"Well, what would you like me to call you?"
"Jabba the Hutt." I mutter to myself.
Should I tell them? I mean, it's not like it could hurt right?
"Really? Interesting choice...Jabba."
"What? No, no, no. I was just being sarcastic! Call me Ben." I stammer.
"Well Ben, I'll have you know, I don't appreciate sarcasm."
"Oh, uh...sorry."
"Apology accepted. Now, back to the Force."
I sigh and sit down on the ground. How is this guy gonna help, if a Jedi Master couldn't?
"Because I'm more powerful than any Jedi, Ben. I can show you more things then your master could ever teach. "
"More powerful than a Jedi Master huh?" I say. "Prove it! Teach me how to use the Force."
"All right then. Let's start."
Then there's a searing pain in the back of my skull, as if someone had jabbed a sword into it.
I scream so loud I think I broke my vocal chords.
I drop to the ground and hold my head. But the pain only gets worse.
Then for the first time in my life.
I black out.
