Serenity appears again to tell Rey, "You have the tools you need to face Sidious, but to truly end his blight on the galaxy you still need to learn another lesson about defeating great evil." Rey: "What is it?" A young Twilek female materializes in all a shine in blue. She appears not much older than Rey is now. Rey: "Who are you?" "I am Tasha Ryo, and I will show and tell you how the Force used me to save the galaxy and the entire universe from a force of terrible evil" says Tasha. She guides Rey to another door that they step through and Rey finds herself on another unfamiliar planet under nine floating double-inverted pyramid ships. Rey: "What is this place?" Tasha Ryo: "This is the planet Tython. This world reflected the state of the Force in those who lived here. I was a Ranger in the order from which the Jedi, as you know them, branched off before branching again to become The Jedi and The Sith. We were called the Je'daii, which means mystic center, and our purpose was to always find a state of balance within so that our world would also stay in balance." They both look up at the sky and see two moons. One is light and full of color and the other is dark and foreboding. Tasha: "Those moons visually show the duel nature of the Force. The light is Ashla and the dark is Bogan. They always reminded us that the light cannot exist without the dark and vice versa. You can't have or recognize good without the contrast of evil, much like the story of the Crondors that Serenity told you earlier. They also helped to remind of the importance of finding inner balance." A force storm erupts in the sky. Tasha Ryo: "When balance was not achieved, terrible storms would ravage Tython." Then the storm vanishes as soon as it began. Tasha then shows the history of the Je'daii. Tasha Ryo: "The pyramid ships you see are the Tho Yor." Rey: "Where did they come from, and who built them?" Tasha Ryo: "You have already met them. They are the ones you as Serenity and the Whills." Rey looks at Serenity and the Whills again with wonder. Tasha Ryo: "Long ago the nine Tho Yor ships went across the galaxy to distant worlds seeking out those strong in the Force. Those who could hear the pyramids speak to them were able to enter and were brought to Tython. Humans, Wookie's, my people, and many others. Even those whose race name would eventually become equated with evil, the Sith. All were brought to Tython to learn and grow deeper in their connection to the Force." Tasha shows Rey a scene involving a pair of twins, brother and sister. The sister is able to levitate a boulder while the brother tries but can't. Tasha: "However not every child born of a Je'daii would be born able to use the abilities that a Force sensitive could. For those who could, they remained on Tython to master their abilities and all that the Force made possible for them to do. While those who could not had to leave and live on the other habitable planets of the system. As time went on the non-Force sensitive descendants became estranged from their relatives, and in time conflicts broke out between clans and factions. The Je'daii intervened as the Force willed to preserve balance. One of those became known as the Despot Queen Hadia. She was responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands, including the parents of my friend and fellow ranger, Ti'ra Saa. My other Ranger friend was a Sith named Sek'nos Rath. He was always testing with Force lightning to the aggravation of his grandmother." Tasha shows Rey her family situation. Tasha Ryo: "As for me I, was being pulled in two different directions because my father was Barron Ryo, the head of clan Ryo, a crime family. My mother was a Je'daii master, and they were always putting me in a position to choose to live and serve with only one or the other, not both. What I wanted most was to serve the Force, under the original code that the small still voice of the Force inspired in the first teachers." The scene changes to when the first masters recite the code and tell it to the children saying, "There is no ignorance. There is knowledge. There is no fear, there is power. I am the heart of the Force. I am the revealing fire of light. I am the mystery of darkness. In balance with chaos and harmony, immortal in the Force." The Scene changes to when Xesh/Tau arrived on Tython. Tasha Ryo: "One day we were all drawn to a Force user named Xesh who was so unbalanced that his presence caused a terrible Force storm to envelope the part of Tython his ship crashed on. We fought him until we were attacked by a chasm worm, which he then helped us to defeat. When Xesh was struck by a lightning bolt guided by the masters. Tira ignited his force saber and was prepared to kill him. He actually says, 'When your people prepare me for eating, you may have the honor of eating my heart." The scene changes to when Tasha spoke with Xesh. Tasha: "I used Force telepathy to see into his memories, and what I saw was horrible. I later learned that these dark ones, the Rakata, as they were known, were the greatest evil in the galaxy at the time. They destroyed and enslaved planets, used Force sensitives as a source of power for their ships and brutally trained some of them to be their Force hounds. Anyone who failed was eaten and the Rakata would kill and eat their own rivals. Some while they were still alive. When they eventually came, I worked with others as force seers. I could see into their fleets and see into the future what their next move would be. When the leader of the Rakatan, Predor Skal'nas, fleet learned of this he used Tau, as we later learned was his real name, along with another force hound to blind me. Not before learning why they came to Tython. To find the Infinity gate. A device that allows one to cross the vast distances of space with-out a ship and the master gate was on Tython. My friends had their own missions while I along with my teacher went to consult the holocron of A'nag Kwa, who had told us about the Rakata, about what we had to do to stop them." The scene changes to where Tasha sacrifices herself to save Tython. Tasha: "A'nag Kwa said that it was the Tho Yor that could stop the Rakata, but it could only be done by a force seer who voluntarily of their own freewill surrendered their mortal life to destroy the fleet. I realized this was what the force had guided me to and in that moment, I chose to do what needed to be done to stop the Rakata from potentially ravaging the universe." Rey sees as Tasha's body is vaporized and then sees the Tho Yor destroy the Rakata fleet. Then Rey sees Tau come to his senses and slays the Skal'nas as the infinity gate is destroyed. Tasha: "After the war I returned as a Force Ghost to help my friends who were deeply emotionally scarred by the war, but then a great division arose among the masters as many decided that they devote themselves only to serve the people instead of serving them along with the force and others disagreed. This resulted in the great force war which led to the creation of the Jedi. I knew my friends did not want to go through another war, so I led them and a handful of others through a portal into the World between the Worlds to a planet that presently is still in the unknown region of the galaxy. Where they began a new life and could focus on finding and sustaining peace." Back in the World between the Worlds Tasha says to Rey, "Remember well what you have seen and learned from my life's story. Sometimes in order to achieve a perfect victory against evil in the name of love. You must be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, your very life. For Sidious is ruled and filled with selfishness and so can never obtain or ultimate power. For it requires absolute selflessness and submitting to the Will of the Force in order to do. Learn from this well my friend and may you bring victory to this conflict as I did through my sacrifice. But if your destiny is not to die, then trust in the force to guide your future footsteps. Until then, the force will be with always." Then another appears saying, "I wish I had listened to what the Force told me. My name is Satele Shan, I was once the grand master of the Jedi order during the old republic during our conflict with The Sith Emperor Tenebrae. It could've stopped me from making the worst choice I ever made." She leads Rey to another door and begins to show Rey her past. Showing her as a young padawan leaving her baby in the care of another Jedi. Statle: "I was young, impetuous, didn't always think things through, and I had a secret affair with a republic trooper commander Jace Malcom. I ended our relationship fearing that becoming too attached to him would cause to fall to the dark side, When I later learned I was pregnant I was terrified that I would be expelled from the Jedi for breaking the code and I was afraid of him becoming involved in the war with the Sith. I did not possess any practical skills at the time, and I was so scared I wouldn't be able to provide my son with what he would need. Especially after discovering he was a non-force sensitive. I didn't know what to do as the delivery day approached. So, I meditated deep into the Force for guidance. I was told to keep him. I realized I had a choice between two paths I could walk. One swallow my fear and go tell the Jedi council the truth and accept the consequences of my actions. So that I could be the mother my son needed. Or two, leave his fate to be decided by the force. I thought long and hard and made what I thought at the time made the most sense that involved the least amount of consequences. I left him in the care of my friend and fellow Jedi Nagani Zho and returned to the Jedi where I eventually became the grand master and eventually became a crucial member in the republics SIS." The scene changes to when she and her meet for the first time when he is seventeen and is a gang member. Statele: "When we met for the first time in years, after he learned about who is mother was, it was not a pleasant experience. I tried to reconcile, but he turned me down and left." Scene changes again to after the Eternal Empire of Zacule destroyed most of the Jedi along with the Sith, the republic, and even the empire. Statle: "I was so lost that I renounced the title of grand master and like Luke Skywalker went in self-induced exile. There I met with another survivor. Darth Malgus, one of the leading members of the Sith Empires dark council. We met, argued, and eventually found an understanding that eventually led Malgus to find redemption. So that after he died, he returned as a force ghost so that we could teach the one, called the Outlander at the time, what we could to help him stop the emperor." Scene changes to after the war. Statle: "When the war was truly over, I was inspired to immediately begin training a new generation of Jedi but decided to not accept becoming the grand master again." Scene changes to where she and her son Theron meet again. Statle: "We were able to eventually come an understanding and it helped mend what was between us in part. I explained why I did what I did. I admitted that I did not do the smart thing, or the right thing. Which was listen to the Force and go where it was guiding me. But I did try to do what I believed was a loving thing. Though he made it clear that nothing could ever fully make amends for I did and that he made it clear he would never completely accept me as his mother. Still when my time among living ended, he did visit my memorial and forgave me." She and Rey return to The World between the Worlds where Statle then tells her, "Now I am not complaining for how things turned out, but I gave said to myself. 'If I was ever given the chance to live it all over again up to that moment where the paths were open to me. I would go where the Force was directing me. To be a good mother for my son. Take what I did as an example for this reason. Whatever you do, assuming you do survive, don't make the same mistake I made. Listen to the Force. Listen to that still small voice that speaks to your spirit that always tells you the answer you need, not the answer you want and follow it wherever it leads you. For often the worst mistake you can make is to go your own way for what you believe is the easy way. For often, as you have already experienced, the hard way is the correct way. Also, if you get the chance promise you will do this. No matter what anyone tells you or thinks otherwise you must never put your responsibilities to the galaxy before your most important responsibility. Being a good role model for your own children to follow in. Find someone you love who loves you for you and who feels deeply the same about you. Raise a family and teach them to always treat and value the lives of others as you want them to treat and value you. For parents and teachers are not a goal or a finish line to reach. We are the starting line and the guide. Once we take you as far as we are able to. From that point on, it's all up to you. For we are simply what you and all children grow beyond." Rey: "Thank you, Master." All the past Jedi and good force users gather around as Serenity along with the other Wills speaks to Rey. Serenity: "One final thing you must learn in relation to all you have learned already. Rey: "What is it I must still learn?" Serenity: "You have experienced and learned the lessons the past has shown. That complacency can give evil an opportunity to destroy and corrupt that which is good. Redemption from darkness can be found and hope restored from the most unlikely of places and people. You can only find balance by not being in conflict with yourself, that both aspects of your nature can aid you in your struggles. That the energy of the Force is not inherently good or evil; how one chooses to use it makes all the difference. That there is no true light or dark side in the Force for the source of that conflict that breeds imbalance exist in those who are able to choose between them. That as long as there are those who believe only the light or the dark can achieve a purpose, there is no end to the conflict that ensues. The only resolution is to accept both sides as part of the same whole and not be blinded by neither. To restore external balance, you must find and restore balance inside yourself through the Force. No one is truly beyond redemption unless they don't want it. The only ally you can fully trust and rely on is the Force as it guides you. You must fight the fire of evil and chaos with what will extinguish it. You must fight it with love because some people are still worth saving in the eyes of the Force even when other people disagree. And of course, serving the will of the Force means humbling yourself to let the Force judge who can and who can't be saved from darkness." Rey: "Then what is the thing you need to teach me?" Serenity: "By choosing to let the Force judge, you will also be the means by which the ritual of purification can be accomplished."
