Here's something to appease those waiting for the Star Wars Sequel to continue.

This is the last crucial scene from The Force Awakens. Hope everyone enjoys it!

I own nothing from Star Wars


A gathering was growing to watch the Falcon take off, to go and finally find the missing couple who the Resistance could use as a rallying point.

As the last of the cargo was loaded, Chewbacca and Cade pushing one last crate up the boarding ramp, Rey slowly followed after them with Artoo.

But Luke and Leia stopped her, the Generals having come to see her off. Turning to face the Skywalker twins one last time, Rey gave a small smile before Luke said those very important words, a proud smile on his face,
"May the Force be with you."

Nodding at this, Rey turned to leave aboard the Falcon, the others waiting for her to get on board.

In the crowds of Resistance pilots and crew that saw off the Falcon, Poe and BB-8 stood with Threepio, Maz, Ahsoka, Aisha, Rukto, Lux, Rex, Sola, Darred, Ryoo, Pooja, Aayla and her family, Shaak Ti, Cal, Merrin, Greez, Satine, Annie, Aiden, Bella, Mara, Ben, Erika, Jaina, Zachary, Luke and Leia in silence as the others cheered.

The Falcon took off and entered hyperspace, toward the planet that held hope for the future of the galaxy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Scene Change~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ahch-To

The planet was mostly water, a sapphire jewel of a planet when seen from orbit. Rey and Cade felt the force was incredibly strong on this planet, stronger than the former had ever felt it before.

As they broke through the clouds, Rey saw in the ocean were a series of somewhat small rocky and green islands rising out of the ocean. Her eyes widened as she realized these were the islands from her vision.

Cade felt a stronger presence coming from one of the larger islands, which was also very tall in structure.

Artoo also confirmed on the scanners that there were two very strong life signatures on the island.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Scene Change~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now standing at the foot of some long stone steps, Rey glanced back to see Cade, Chewbacca and Artoo waiting at the foot of the Falcon's boarding ramp. The Wookie rawled loudly from afar as he gestured up the long stairwell that lay before her. Even Cade nodded at her, smiling.

Taking a breath, she began to make her way up.

As she climbed up, using her quarterstaff to ease the strain of so many steps, she felt that there was something about this place. It was old, the ruins of old buildings too decayed to make out what they once looked like dotting its tops. Brick lain walls and stairs lined the top of the island's rises.

The waves echoed far below as she made her way up into the ruins. It looked like the remnants of a place of worship, a temple. Perhaps the first Jedi temple as she heard the couple had been searching for.

Stepping through a series of arches, carved into the semi-ruined walls of the temple, she rounded more corners, finding some huts made of the stone bricks she'd seen all over the island.

Before she could continue, a door to one of the huts opened and out stepped a woman wearing a simple navy blue dress. She also wore a japor snippet around her neck, and a beautiful heart-shaped locket. It was silver-gold with twin sapphires on the front. The woman quietly gasped a bit when she saw Rey, who just stared back in awe.

Padmé Naberrie Amidala Skywalker was known for her incredible beauty, and she'd definitely aged well; she looked like a woman in her forties even though she was fifty-one. A few strands of silver graced her brown curls and a few more lines around her eyes was the only real sign of her age.

"Lady Skywalker?"

Padmé nodded in response before asking, "Who are you?"

"I'm Rey. I'm with the Resistance."

"Did Luke and Leia send you?" The older woman asked, to which Rey nodded, smiling.

"Everyone's doing fine," she told her, sensing the unspoken question coming from the concerned matriarch. Padmé sighed in relief at the news.

But then, she turned serious, "I know why you're here. Come with me."

She led Rey up a grassy rise at the top of the island's hill ridge. They kept going, until they stopped, as a large clearing, almost like a makeshift square or plaza flat, emerged before them. Padmé silently asked her to wait there as the terrain dropped away at one section, before she made her way over to whom she was looking for.

Staring out at the sea, back facing them, a hooded figure in dark brown robes stood silently. But Rey knew better then to think he hadn't seen their ship land, or hear her and his wife approaching.

Padmé spoke quietly to the man for thirty seconds before looking back at Rey, prompting the figure to slowly turn to face her, revealing a darker brown tunic and brown shirt on his chest. She stepped a little closer, then he raised his hands, and Rey made note of the black glove on his right hand; the same one she saw in her vision.

The man removed his hood and Rey now saw his face for the first time. His hair was long , dark blonde, and shaggy. He was incredibly handsome; Rey could tell where most of the Skywalker men got their looks from. At age forty-six, he looked like he was in his thirties.

As Anakin Skywalker patiently waited for her to say what she had to say, she saw the look of hesitant, but experienced wisdom behind his eyes. Slowly, she unpacked the lightsaber from the bag at her side; the lightsaber that once belonged to him, and held it out to him, an almost pleading look in her eyes as she stood there, holstering her quarterstaff onto her back.

Padmé's eyes widened and she silently gasped, while Anakin's eyes widened slightly for a few seconds before a look of understanding and determination appeared on his face.

The pleas that Rey's eyes beheld were not just her own, but of a galaxy, crying out for a chance of peace, a leader who was needed to set an example, to return, to bring undo the darkness as they once did.

And as he stared at her, Anakin's face fell slowly, the faintest shadow of acceptance that the time had come creeping through his eyes. Padmé took his arm, easing his worries. Rey could only stand across from the couple, seeing hope slowly emerge in her future.

She had come far, from not trusting strangers, to now placing her trust in the two people she'd just met, who she'd only heard of, for the first time. Because she had to, the Force was crying out for it to be done.

The couple stood atop the hills of Ahch-To across from the girl, the seeds of healing the galaxy so desperately needed after recent events planted here, now.

And against the darkness the First Order had spread, a single glimmer was enough to undo its total control of all it sought to engulf.


Full disclosure; I have some scenes for my Sequel Trilogy completed in my head, but not all of them.

I don't want to make the same mistake J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson made by not having the whole story in mind before making the movies. That's why it's taking me so long with the sequel story. That, and the other stories I'm working on.

Now, about what I said in my starting note for "Bound By Heart & Soul"; I once again apologize. George Lucas is actually a great director, and so is J.J. Abrams. However, Lucas wrote, directed, and produced the Prequel Trilogy. He is a good writer, a good director, and a phenomenal producer, but he needs somebody to say no to him, someone to keep him in check.

The one flaw he has as a director is directing actors; that's why the cast of the Prequels suffered so much, even though we had a lot of great actors. Also, while George is great at writing; he's not good at writing romance scenes. That said; the Prequels, despite their flaws, had a well thought out story. There was a beginning, a middle, and an end, and there were plenty of Easter eggs to the Original Trilogy and even some to Legends Canon. George knew exactly where he was gonna take the trilogy before he ever started casting for TPM because he already had it planned out. The story was actually pretty good, just change some of the terrible dialogue, have Hayden perform much better in AotC, show more of Padme's layers as a character and everybody would be praising them.

Now, TFA was a great start! TLJ needs some work, and WTF was going on with ROS? Still, Abrams CAN get amazing performances from actors.

I promise, I WILL complete my Sequel Story! I just have other things I'm working on right now. And, I might need help with some ideas for the Sequel...

Anyway, read and review, please!
