Background Story
After reuniting with his old Padawan, Obi-wan Kenobi on Tatooine a solid ten years before the events of A New Hope, Qui-Gon taught the secrets he had learned to Obi-wan and to Yoda as well. Other fringes of Jedi started to come through. Old Mace, Kanan Jarrus, Luminara Unduli, Aayla Secura, Kit Fisto, Plo Koon, and Adi Gallia — Jedi fallen in Order 66. Slowly he was building up a team of Jedi in the Cosmic Force.
Qui-Gon had even appeared to none other than Darth Vader himself. A shocking meeting that occurred right before a young Luke Skywalker would end up on a self-propelled capture in the Battle of Endor. Immediately Anakin wanted to know how Qui-Gon was doing this, and what was it, and could it bring back Padme. When Qui-Gon told him that it was the will of the Force, and that no, this could not bring back Padme, but that Padme would want him to save the life of his son, Anakin raged with anger. Qui-Gon told him that when he was ready to learn this power, that he would be there to teach it. Anakin was left more conflicted than ever.
When Luke Skywalker met with his father, he immediately sensed the conflict in him far more than he ever had before. It was the love that Anakin always had in him for Padme, and the love of his son, that would help him turn back to the light when the Emperor attacked his son. When Anakin died in Luke’s arms, Qui-Gon kept his promise. Anakin had returned to the light and effectively balanced the Force.
After that, with Anakin and Obi-wan and others by his side, Qui-Gon — now a Grandmaster Jedi himself — would continue to bestow this knowledge onto Jedi that crossed over to the Cosmic Force. And those he taught would also learn to teach, Obi-wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker taught Ahsoka Tano this power when she crossed over to the netherworld of the Force.
And now, the collective would be there to guide a young Ben Solo and Rey to build a new generation of Jedi.

INT. TATOOINE, LARS HOMESTEAD, LIVING ROOM – COSMIC FORCE
The Lars Homestead living room looks just as it did when LUKE was young and living with Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru. LUKE SKYWALKER, OBI-WAN KENOBI, QUI-GON JINN, AND ANAKIN SKYWALKER stand in the living room in the middle of a heated debate.
LUKE SKYWALKER
(commanding)
We need to retake Coruscant and rebuild the Jedi Temple right in the heart of the galaxy for all to see.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
Luke is right. The people need to see the Jedi as a symbol of hope once again.
(beat)
It will help those of us in hiding feel comfortable to come back to the Order.
QUI-GON JINN
(sighs)
Building a temple is not the top priority.
(beat)
What we need is to re-establish the Order, anew. And to do that we need younglings to train.
LUKE SKYWALKER
We don’t have the Masters available to train them. Ben and Rey are certainly not there yet.
QUI-GON JINN
Valid point.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
And where do you think we should start to look for them?
ANAKIN SKYWALKER
Cal Kestis.
(beat)
When I met him, yes I was Darth Vader, but he was quite formidable. As was his master Cere Junda.
(beat)
I know he’s still alive and surely by now he’s at Master rank, at least. If we find him first, he would know where the other Force sensitives are.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
I remember Cere.
(beat, rubs chin)
Formidable indeed.
QUI-GON nods his head in agreement while LUKE shakes his head in opposition.
LUKE SKYWALKER
(frustrated)
No, we need to exert our presence and retake the capital planet, not chase after what-ifs.
OBI-WAN KENOBI
If we show our strength by retaking Coruscant, it’ll put First Order remnants on their back foot.
(beat)
They’re all but destroyed and we have them on the run. Now is the time.
QUI-GON JINN
But the symbol of the Jedi is it’s people, not it’s buildings!
(beat)
Look around you. We have no one. It’s not like we have the Jedi Army behind us to help us, like we did back then.
(beat)
The First Order, while beaten, isn’t broken. They have an army and we don’t.
