A strange voice speaks, "You have learned how to listen." She turns and sees the spirit of Bendu from Attolore. Then a Loth wolf appears and then changes into Kannan Jarrus, "And what selflessness is. I am Caleb Dune, but I have also been known as Kannan Jarrus." Rey: "What I am to learn? Bendu: "To see through the lie that many sentients trick themselves into believing like those who came before, and those to watch out for in the future. Jedi and Sith claim to serve the Ashla and Bogan. The Light and the Dark. I'm the one in the middle. The Bendu which the ancient predecessors of the Jedi, the Je'daii, were known as mystic center. In time they chose to follow the path that led them to lose the sense of the will of the force. The way that sentients who are out of tune with force follow this path that inevitably leads to destruction of self, society, and even entire worlds. That is why I chose not to get involved." She finds herself on Attolore seeing Kannan's spirit next to his past self-watching what happened when he met Bendu for the first time. Kannan: "When my crew and I, along with my apprentice Ezra came to Attolore to set up a base. I had lost my ability to see with my eyes then Bendu called for me." The scene changes to when they meet. Bendu: "I helped him learn to see without his eyes and realize that objects along with forbidden knowledge cannot make you good or evil, as he had feared from the Sith holocron that he and his apprentice had brought back from Malecore." Rey sees this whole exchange as it happened. Bendu in the past says, "An object cannot make you good or evil. The temptation of power, forbidden knowledge, even the desire to do good can lead some down the wrong path. But only you can change yourself." Kannan: "He continued to help us in his own unique way, but he chose to remain uninvolved until the empire under Admiral Thrawn found us and to get Bendu's aid I called him coward." Seeing how that happened and what resulted with Bendu levitating himself into the air and creating a force storm around himself. Seeing Bendu attack both imperial and rebel ships. Bendu: "I saw them all as a threat to the balance of my world until I was shot down." Showing how he fell and his final conversation with Thrawn. Thrawn: "What sort of creature are you?" Bendu: "One, who is beyond your power to destroy." Thrawn points his gun at Bendu's head but does not fire until after Bendu tells him, "You cannot see it, but I can." Thrawn: "What do you see?" Bendu: "Your defeat. Like so many arms enveloping you in a cold embrace." Thrawn fires but Bendu vanishes with a laugh. The scene then changes to Lothal. Kannan: "When we left Attolore we headed back to Lothal. There we found out about the Loth Wolves and how they were connected to our mission on Lothal. In a mission to rescue Hera the imperial governor of Lothal destroyed the fuel depot for the empire's TIE Defender factory." Rey is watching all this. Kannan: "I died saving everyone and became one with the force." The scene changes to when Ezra is in despair over what happened. Kannan: "I was able to reach Ezra through the Loth Wolves to bring him to the sight of the Jedi Temple on Lothal where the empire was trying to figure out how to access the portal to the World between the Worlds." Rey is looking at the mural of the Mortis Gods. Rey: "Who are they?" The Father and Daughter appear next to her. The Father: "Us." The Daughter: "Minus my brother, The Son, who is no longer with us for he is where the souls of those who serve the dark side of freewill reside for all eternity." The Father then takes them briefly to Mortis. The Father: "This is Mortis which was the force made visible that shows with each day how balance works. My family and I acting as Archetypes for the Force. My Daughter who embodies the Light. My Son the Dark. I the embodiment of balance. Day with night. Death and new birth. That life can continue after it material death. Destruction followed by new creation. I brought Anakin to mortis believing, that as the chosen one, he could replace me to keep my children in balance and so keep the force in balance since I was dying. I was wrong but I also knew that if I died my children that embodied the duel nature of the force in sentients would tear Mortis apart and the universe." Showing The Son murder The Daughter and Anakin use the daughter's life energy to give Ahsoka her life back. Seeing Anakin face the son in the Well of the Dark side to show him his future as Vader. Then finally where they all confront the son, and the father kills himself to take away The Son's power so that Anakin could kill him. The Father: "With my life fading I told Anakin, 'You are the chosen one. You restored balance to this world, and you will do the same for the galaxy, but beware your heart." Rey: "I think I understand what you meant by that." The Daughter: "Never be only one or the other but be like The Father and The Bendu. Follow only the will of the Force and serve it only, not only the part you prefer. Choosing only one over the other leads towards imbalance, chaos, and destruction." Back on Lothal Rey sees Ezra enter the World between the Worlds and uses it to save Ahsoka from her battle with Vader/Anakin on Malecore. Rey then sees Ahsoka speak to Ezra about the potential consequences that could arise if you use the portals to change history, and about the importance of selflessness. Letting go of those we care about so that their spirits and yours can be free. She then sees as they confront Sidious through the portals. Ahsoka: "Sidious wanted access to this place so that he could use it to control the destiny of the entire universe. He failed because only those with pure hearts and intentions can access it." Rey sees Ezra and Ahsoka part while running from the blue flames Sidious uses with Ahsoka back on Malecore and Ezra on Lothal where he then destroys the Jedi temple. The scene changes to on board Thrawns ship as Sidious in a nice man hologram disguise tempts Ezra to open the doorway to World between the Worlds with a section of the Jedi temple that was restored. Sidious takes him to the door and removes his cuffs. Sidious: "There, the controls for the gateway. Activate it and you will be with your parents again." Seeing the whole scene unfold, Rey feels empathy knowing that she would want that too. Ezra: "What about my friends?" Sidious: "If you pull your parents through, they will have never been taken by the empire. They will live. Isn't that what you have always wanted? To have the family that was taken from you. There can be many outcomes, but you must open the door to make that happen." Rey sees Ezra and his parents lock eyes as he says, "Mom, Dad you will always be a part of me, but I have to let you go." Sidious: "No!" Ezra destroys the portal as he hears his parents say, "We love you Ezra." Ezra faces Sidious as he really is. Ezra: "You're wrong, I already have a family. There is nothing from you that I want." Sidious: "Unfortunate." The red imperial guards enter with Sidious ordering, "Destroy him!" The scene then changes to the bridge of the ship as the Purgil attack the Star destroyer and they are about to go into hyperspace. Over the com Hera shouts, "Ezra get out of there now!" Ezra, holding back Thrawn and the storm troopers, "Hera! I have to see this through to the end." Sabine: "Ezra get out of there now!" Ezra: "I can't do that. It's up to all of you now. And remember, the force will be with you always." Kannan: "The student follows the teacher and finds the right path for them for where and when they are needed most." Rey is back in the World between the Worlds says to Kannan, The Bendu, The Father, and The Daughter, "I think I get it. Be vigilant do not focus on only one part of the force or the other but be open to the fullness of it. There is indeed no light side or dark side in the force. That comes from us when are not in balance with ourselves and the force. A wise person admits they don't and can't know everything. That just when you think you know everything you discover how little you actually do understand. That the Force is always on the very edge of the knowable yet still can never fully known or understood. Be open to the will of the Force to do whatever it decides needs to be done to stop evil and restore balance." Rey turns to look at the others, "What's next?"
