Background Story
A redeemed Ben Solo gave his life for the one he loved; it was all he felt he could do — give her back to the galaxy. When Rey realized what Ben had done, she desperately cried out for help. But there was no one. Or so she thought.
The Force Ghosts, some that were part of Ben’s family, that had come to her aid against Palpatine heard her cries. They channeled the last of their Force power into Rey to help her resurrect her Dyad. As if time had reversed itself, she watched as the body of Ben Solo re-materialized before her very eyes. When Ben opened his eyes, he saw her. He tried to speak, tried to get up… but he hardly had anything left. Rey pulled him to her, jumping into his arms with both glee and shock. She couldn’t believe what she had done.
But now, Ben has a long journey to true redemption ahead of him. A road filled with atonement and consequence. Rey will help him navigate his new reality as they battle a new threat from a Sith Lord long thought to be gone; one even more powerful than Palpatine himself. Is Ben up to the task? We’ll find out in Star Wars: The Chosen One (Episode X).

INT. TATOOINE, LARS HOMESTEAD, LIVING AREA – CONTINUOUS
ANAKIN walks into the Lars Homestead like he owns the place and at some point, he had. He’s clearly very familiar with it and is at home inside it. He makes his way into the living area. REY and BEN had dropped their crates in the foyer outside near the front door and now followed ANAKIN into the living room.
LUKE SKYWALKER is sitting on the back edge of a covered-up sofa, looking out a thick glass double door to the other end of the courtyard. ANAKIN walks past him.
ANAKIN SKYWALKER
Son.
LUKE stands up and turns around to face BEN. The two stand face to face. LUKE looks over to REY, he winks at her. REY is clearly anxious about this meeting because she can feel BEN’s anxiety. She crosses her arms. ANAKIN looks between his son and his grandson.
LUKE SKYWALKER
I told you I’d see you around, kid.
BEN SOLO
You did.
LUKE SKYWALKER
And that I wouldn’t be the last Jedi.
(beat)
And I didn’t mean just Rey.
LUKE points to his nephew.
BEN SOLO
I don’t think I can call myself that.
ANAKIN SKYWALKER
Why not?
(beat)
I do.
BEN SOLO
But everything I’ve done… I surely… can’t.
LUKE SKYWALKER
In the galaxy’s history, there have been
many Sith that switch sides and become Jedi.
(nods to his father)
You wouldn’t be the only one.
BEN SOLO
(sighs)
How many lived long enough to atone for those sins?
LUKE SKYWALKER
(chuckles)
You’d be surprised.
REY
Do we even want to call ourselves Jedi anymore?
ANAKIN SKYWALKER
Yes, and I’ll tell you why.
LUKE SKYWALKER
(interjects)
Because the galaxy sees the Jedi as a
symbol of hope… and we will always need that.
ANAKIN SKYWALKER
My son is right. But… it’s time for a new Jedi Order.
LUKE SKYWALKER
Yes.
ANAKIN SKYWALKER
One that teaches its practitioners that they are first and foremost, people.
Just as much as the ones we’re sworn to protect. We’re not infallible.
(beat)
We’re not meant to be perfect.
(beat)
We’re meant to be the examples.
LUKE SKYWALKER
Yes, we’re also flawed, we make mistakes,
and in our mistakes, we have the same capacity to learn.
ANAKIN SKYWALKER
An order in where attachments can be
seen as a strength, not a weakness.
LUKE SKYWALKER
We must not be so afraid to lose the ones we love,
that we do not love at all.
(beat)
We have separated ourselves so much from
the people that we’re no longer relatable.
ANAKIN looks down, he thinks to his beloved PADME. The mother of LUKE and LEIA, the only woman he had ever loved. He sighs heavily.
