AHCH-TO ISLAND - LATE MORNINGWearing THE MATCHING BRACELET, REY is RUNNING UP A STEEPMOUNTAINSIDE, panting and sweating heavily.

17.She reaches the top and COLLAPSES, gasping for breath.LUKE SKYWALKER crouches over her.LUKE SKYWALKERWe’re not done yet, Rey.She struggles back to her feet.REYWhat’s this ‘we’? You’re justsitting up here.LUKE SKYWALKERTwice more. All the way down. Allthe way up. Then we can talk.Rey looks down the mountainside toward the bottom of theisland, a thousand feet down. She SIGHS and starts down themountain again.- AFTERNOON.She summits again. She sinks to her knees. Luke sits, smilingat her. He holds up one finger.She starts down again.- EVENING.CHEWBACCA sits on the rocky shore of the island, theMILLENNIUM FALCON sitting some distance behind him. He picksup a LARGE ROCK and THROWS IT INTO THE WAVES where isSPLOOSHES with a pleasantly deep sound.He glances over at the mountainside and sees Rey REACH THEBOTTOM, TURN, and START BACK UP.He notices SEVERAL PORGS HOPPING TENTATIVELY toward the OPENRAMP of the Falcon.He HOWLS A WARNING, and they SQUACK and FLUTTER AWAY.NOTE: All of Chewbacca’s lines are delivered in UNSUBTITLEDWOOKIE.CHEWBACCAI’ve gotta stop leaving that rampopen.REVEAL ARTOO-DETOO sitting a few feet away from Chewbacca.All of his lines are in UNSUBTITLED DROID LANGUAGE.

18.ARTOO-DETOOYes, you really should.CHEWBACCAHow long have you been here,anyway?ARTOO-DETOOAbout eighteen thousand years.Chewbacca CHUCKLES.- BACK ON THE MOUNTAINTOP - SUNSET.Rey collapses, breathing hard.Luke tosses her a water flask and she drinks deeply from it.She takes a few moments to catch her breath.REYIs this really how I train to be aJedi? Or are you just torturing me?LUKE SKYWALKERBe happy you don’t have to carry meon your back.Rey looks confused at his remark.REYIt isn’t how I thought it would be.LUKE SKYWALKERHow did you think it would be?REYI thought you would teach me to usemy lightsaber.Luke grunts with amusement.LUKE SKYWALKEROh, you’re not ready for that.REYI am ready. I defeated Kylo Ren.LUKE SKYWALKERYes. I suppose that’s one way tolook at it.REYOne way? It’s what happened.

19.LUKE SKYWALKERTruth demands context.REYWhat context?Luke tosses her HIS WALKING STICK. She nimbly catches it outof the air.REY (CONT'D)What’s this?LUKE SKYWALKERYour new lightsaber.Luke stands and breaks a branch off of a dead bush.Realizing what’s about to happen, Rey gets back to her feet.Finally.REYThey face each other.She attacks. Luke parries and steps aside with ease.She attacks again, and this time he merely steps aside, noteven bothering to parry her blow. He touches the tip of hisstick against her back.LUKE SKYWALKERYou’re dead, Rey.She WHIRLS AROUND and strikes again, and he easily dodges theblow, then touches his stick to her forehead.LUKE SKYWALKER (CONT'D)You’re dead again.REYThis is silly.LUKE SKYWALKERI thought this was what you wanted.REYI didn’t mean right now. I’m wornout. And you’re a Jedi Master.Luke looks at her meaningfully.

20.LUKE SKYWALKERContext. Kylo Ren was wounded whenyou fought him, as you yourselfhave told me.REYAnd I had never used a lightsaberbefore. Context.LUKE SKYWALKERYou defeated a well trained warriorin lightsaber combat on your firsttry. You used mind tricks on yourenemies- a skill that should takeyears to master. You had visionsthat told you where to go and whatto do.Rey lowers her stick. Luke tosses his to the ground and sits.REYI didn’t feel completely in controlof myself.Luke nods.Context.LUKE SKYWALKERREY(realizing)I didn’t defeat Kylo Ren.LUKE SKYWALKERNo. I do not think you did.REYThen how did it happen?LUKE SKYWALKERI believe you became a vessel forthe Cosmic Force.REYThe Cosmic Force?LUKE SKYWALKERThere is the Living Force and thereis the Cosmic Force. The LivingForce is what we have talked about.It is the energy that binds allliving things together. It is thepower from which Jedi draw theirabilities.

21.Stars are starting to appear above them.LUKE SKYWALKER (CONT'D)The Cosmic Force is far moremysterious- far more powerful. Ifthe Living Force is the surface ofthe ocean, the Cosmic Force is allthat is underneath. It is whatbinds the universe together. Thoughthe two are linked, most Jedi nevercame close to connecting with theCosmic Force.REYThen why did I?LUKE SKYWALKERYou do have an inherently strongability in the Force. I can sensethat. But you ask the wrongquestion. You did not connect withit. It connected with you.REYIt has a will of its own?LUKE SKYWALKERThere have been Jedi scholars whohave attributed the concept of willto the Force. I am skeptical ofassigning such a sentient conceptto something so beyond our abilityto comprehend, though the endresult looks the same I suppose.REYWhy did it connect with me?LUKE SKYWALKERI suspect it was to stop theStarkiller.Its will?REYLUKE SKYWALKERWhen you get sick, your body hassystems that fight off thesickness. Do these systems havewill?Rey shakes her head, unsure.

22.LUKE SKYWALKER (CONT'D)The Starkiller was a galacticsickness. It obliterated entiresystems, killed large swathes ofthe living Force. You were theresponse, I think. You were giventremendous power. How did it feel?REYLike I could do anything. It was.intoxicating.LUKE SKYWALKERThere is great danger in that, Rey.No one should have that much power.A Jedi can wield great power, evenwithout the Cosmic Force. And withthat power comes perpetualtemptation to use it, and notalways for the right reasons. Youare undisciplined. We must buildyour discipline, so that you do notgive in to temptation.REYLike Bail did?Luke’s face tightens.Yes.LUKE SKYWALKERSensing his discomfort, Rey changes her line of questioning.REYMight we work on my discipline onthe way back to the Resistance?Luke’s face tightens more.LUKE SKYWALKERI’ve told you. We’re not leavingthis island. Not yet.When?REYLUKE SKYWALKERWhen you are ready.Rey SIGHS with frustration.REYWhen will that be?

23.Luke ignores her.LUKE SKYWALKERNo more questions today. Clear yourmind. Breathe.She starts to, but then can’t help but ask one more question.REYWhy did he turn?Luke stands up.LUKE SKYWALKERWe’re not having that discussionyet.REYBecause I’m not ready?LUKE SKYWALKERNo. Because I’m not.Luke starts down the mountain path towards his stone hut.WIPE TO:INT.
