Background Story
Rey defeated her grandfather, the evil Emperor Palpatine, at the cost of her own life. But Ben Solo would crawl his way in a near-death state from the pit Palpatine hurled him into to find her lifeless body lying in the rubble. He decided to give his life to save her in the same way she had done just hours prior. Ben sacrificed his life for her. They shared a brief moment of happiness before Rey realized that he would not be sharing the world with her in the way she had so hoped. In her desperation, she cried out for help even though she knew there was no one else but them.
The Force Ghosts that had helped her to muster the strength she needed to defeat her grandfather decided that the Dyad is too important to the galaxy and that one could not truly reach their potential alone. They banded together to channel what little was left of their Netherworld energies into Rey so that she could resurrect her Dyad. As if time itself had shifted in reverse, Ben’s body re-materialized in front of her very eyes. She helped him sit up to wrap her arms around him.
They made it to Luke’s old X-Wing, luckily still intact, and devised a way to stuff him into the droid compartment behind the pilot’s chair. Making for Tatooine at Ben’s suggestion, Rey drops him off, beaten and battered to head over to the Resistance’s temporary base they had set up after the Battle of Crait on the planet itself — surely the last place the First Order would look — to reunite with her chosen family that included newly-appointed Generals Poe Dameron, Finn, Maz Kanata, Rose Tico, Zorii Bliss, and more.
But, gosh… how is she to explain all of this to her friends? We’ll find out in Star Wars: The Chosen One (Episode X).

INT. CRAIT, REY’S RESISTANCE TENT – EARLY MORNING
REY’s tent is meticulously organized. The single cot is made. There are texts sprawled out on a desk in the corner that she had been studying before leaving for Pasaana just a week prior. REY is nervous and fidgeting with her fingers, wringing at them. REY suddenly sits on her cot, gripping the sides with her hands. She tries to start to tell them.
REY
(nervously)
I… uhhh… I don’t…
REY trails off but regroups herself. FINN and POE are standing by the door looking down at her. POE crosses his arms. FINN puts his hands at his waist. FINN picks up on something and thought it had to do with her dying back on Exegol, so he tries to help her spit it out. A long beat passes.
FINN
Exegol. You died. So, how are you alive?
REY looks to FINN and can’t help but blurt it out.
REY
Ben Solo…
REY’s voice starts to trail off and before she can speak her next words, POE interjects.
POE DAMERON
(questioning)
You mean Kylo Ren?
REY
No. Ben Solo.
POE DAMERON
(statement, annoyed)
You mean Kylo Ren.
FINN moves towards REY, sitting next to her. He has a million questions forming in his mind and REY can sense it.
POE DAMERON
(indignant)
He doesn’t deserve that name, Rey.
FINN shoots POE a sharp look before looking back to REY.
FINN
(calmly)
Is he dead, Rey?
POE DAMERON
(scoffs)
One can only hope.
REY
(infuriated, to Poe)
No, he’s with me.
REY shoots up from her seated position on the cot to face POE directly. FINN shoots up right behind her.
FINN
Let’s all calm down.
POE DAMERON
(disbelief, mouth drops)
Well, then I expect you to turn him into our
custody so he can face a tribunal as a war criminal.
REY
Absolutely not!
POE DAMERON
So what you’re saying is you are now harboring a fugitive?
REY hitches her breath and before she could speak, FINN steps in.
FINN
(shouting)
Guys! Guys! No one has more reason to hate this
guy than I do, and I have the scar across my back
to prove it. But…
POE DAMERON
(interjects, shouting)
EXACTLY!
FINN
But, I trust Rey enough to at least hear her out first.
(beat)
Poe?
POE DAMERON
Not on this, I won’t.
POE is fuming. He looks to FINN with a locked jaw and then smacks his teeth, turning on his heel, and storms out of the tent. REY feels dejected. She sits back down on the cot angrily, hurt. FINN looks at her. Sits down on the dirt floor of the tent, across from REY, he crosses his legs.
REY shakes her head and tears well up in her eyes. She looks to FINN.
FINN
(compassion)
Tell me everything, Rey.
REY looks FINN and takes a deep breath. She tells FINN the entire story of Ben Solo and how she brought him back to the Light side.
