150 Years after the battle of Exogal/Redemption, Rey is in her home on the planet where she trained with Leia is surrounded by her great-grandchildren. Rey: "Do I really look so old to your young eyes?" One of the granddaughters responds, "No of course not." A boy: "We never think that." Rey turns to face them with a contented smile responding, "You don't need to feel ashamed because of course I do. For I have indeed become weak in my old age, though I've been told I still look great." She gets into her bed as her entire family gathers around and she tells them, "My time in this life is complete. Now I must enter my eternal rest." Her first grandson says, "Mother Rey, you can't die yet." Rey: "I am strong with the Force and in spirit even though my body is failing. No one is meant to live forever in this material existence. The sun must now set on my time and rise with you and the coming generations. For that is way of the Force. Old life ends so that new life is created in its absence. For we are all part of the same everlasting circle of life. Besides, you all know I will not cease to exsist. I am just transitioning from this life to an eternal life. I will always be there for you when you most need me, but I am still nothing next to the Force itself. Always turn to the Force first for guidance. If the Force sends me, then I will be there to comfort and guide and lift you up." As the spirits of the Jedi of the past surround her bed, Rey explains; "My friends and predecessors have come to take me to my new eternal home. I take my place among the masters of the past. Promise me you will live for each moment and never stop believing in the dream of a brighter future. For it will be there if you have courage to pursue it and try in your own unique way to make the world around you a better place for all who live in it. For with every unselfish act of love, mercy, and forgiveness, the entire universe...changes...for...the...better..." She fades away leaving her clothes and lightsaber on the bed. The oldest woman there, who is her daughter Kira Skywalker, says, "Goodbye Mother." Turning to the younglings Kira explains, "She is now one with the Force and has taken her place among the masters of the past. May we never cease seeking their guidance along with the Force to aid us in whatever shall come our way in life." Everyone bows their heads in grief for a while and then they begin to depart.
Rey's youngest grandchildren walk outside to look at the stars. They then look down to see the spirit of their grandmother change to her youthful self and also see the other masters appear along with Bendu and the Whills. Rey gives a warm smile. The Kids, "See you later Grandma Skywalker." Rey: "See you later, and never forget, the Force will be with you, always." Rey, along with all the masters of the past including Finn stand with her, look on the children with joy and unwavering hope.
Every ending has a beginning. Every beginning has an ending, but every ending is also a new beginning. One story ends, and a new one begins. For life is the story that never ends. The Force will be with you, always. Now go and write your own story. Your story may become a legend that will live and continue to inspire others through the ages. Because legends never die.
The End
