Paasana was about to make a celebration that took place every 40 years. The sun was about to darken for a whole day. An Eclipse. Rey was given a special necklace to provide fertility since during that special day without the sun, young girls were encouraged to try to get pregnant

That was because of tradition since a long time ago, a pleague, almost killed all the inhabitants of the planet. So children on Paasana are seen as very precious, not like young Rey on Jakku that had to struggle for her life...

That would have been a better plot for the movie.

The necklace was to promote fertility and motherhood.

The day before the eclipse Rey, Finn and Poe meet Lando on Paasana and they end up eating dinner together. They talk about the necklace. Poe asks what it is about and then Threepio tells them all the story. Rey suddenly blushes, embarassed. She had no idea. But then Finn...

Starts to argue that she couldn't be interested in her own family or rise children because now her family is the resistance and they are in the middle of a war... Poe is not of the same advice. People should just love each other and have children no matter what, they are fighting

Because they want to be free to do so. That's the purpose of the whole cause. But Finn reminds him about the FO and the fact that they steal children from their families to make them become stromtroopers

And those children deserved better. And until the war will be over, he thinks it's crazy to think otherwise. Then he remembers about a confidence Rey herself made to him about her parents... They sold her for money... Finn tells that out loud in front of the others and Rey...

Rey is horryfied... But then, exsctly when she thinks the situation couldn't be worse, Threepio steps in to remind her about the fact that having her own family is also forbidden thanks to the jedi code. She is sussposed to become a jedi, right? So she shouldn't consider...

Motherwhood at all. Nor even affection.
So Rey burns out definitively.

Nobody seems to understand her. She feels inadequate. She feels alone. She misses Ben Solo...

Then the force connects them once again. When she needs him the most. She tells him if he knew about the celibacy of the jedi. Of course he knew. So she tells him that she is tired to hear all the other people around her that they know her...because they don't. Nobody underdtands

'But I do' Ben tell her then. 'I understand what you feel because I experienced this before'.

Rey: 'That is the reason why you went away with Luke? You had to leave your family behind in order to become a jedi?'

Kylo (after a while): 'no, that was just an excuse'

Rey: 'What do you mean?'

Kylo (sighing): 'I knew that something wasn't okay with me..my parents were scared

Kylo: I could see the fear in their eyes all the time, but at the time...I still didn't know why

Rey: Go on

Kylo: Veder. I didn't know I was his grandson. They never told me. I wish I could have known about it in a better way...

Rey: how did...(not even finished)

Kylo: The holonet. A Senator of the New Repubblic pubblicily accused my mother and so I knew, like the rest of the world.

Rey (breathless): That's a bad joke, right? It's not funny...

Kylo: No. It's not. That's what actually happened. And do you know what Luke did after that?

Rey (looking at his face in silence)

Kylo: absolutely nothing. The worst part was seeing the same terror in his eyes when

Kylo: the same terror in his eyes when he looked at me. It was Snoke that came to support me that night. And many nights after that one.

Rey: But Leia...

Kylo (Shaking his head): She sent me a message not long after the events but I was too angry with her and Snoke...

Kylo: Snoke kept telling me that she would have lied to me again. That I couldn't trust her anymore. That's when I started to understand that the jedi were wrong...

Kylo: Still want to be a Jedi, Rey? (sarcastically)

Rey(defensively) I am not going to turn to the darkside...

Kylo: Yeah, I know...But you also can't be the jedi the others want you to be, right?

Rey (almost in tears) I am not going to listen to you anymore...

Then the connection fades away. She is in tears. During the night she dreams about a voice, that same voice: "I'll come back for you sweet hearth. I promise'. But the voice has no face. Then the dream becomes a familiar one. Kylo's outstretched hand..Those pleading eyes 'please'

And the vision she had that night. Herself holding Ben's hand, the wind caressing her face. The two of them standing together, watching a little girl walking in front of them. 'She has his same eyes'...

A voice is her head suggestes. Then she wakes up. Abruptly. Finn is near her. He looks sad and worried for her. He apologizes. Rey says that it's okay. They should hurry or they won't make it before the eclipse. They have to reach an abandoned ship and get back some stuff.

But when they are almost there, the sun is already black and Rey suddenly reazlizes that she had seen a symilar thing into the jedi textbooks. An Eclipse. And suddenly something happens to Rey. A flash, a memory...Something dark emerges from her past...and it's devastating...

She sees herself as a child. She is hungry, thirsty and dirty. She is also afraid. Her parents doesn't pay her much attention and so she cries louder and louder, but she only get to be beaten. She always got beaten...but that time...That time something happened. Something dark...

Called for her and she didn't realize about what she had done until, after three days, Unkar Plutt came to the little hut that belonged to her parents, in order to get payied. He found her in a corner. The dead bodies of her parents still in the middle of the room...

She was the one who did it. She didn't meant to. But she did it...And immediately tried to forget...From that moment on, she tried so hard to repress whatever she had felt that night...that she closed herself completely to the force not even knowing what she was doing...

Until she met him...Him who had lied to her in the Thone room because he knew...He knew what she was...a monster! Her parents never sold her for money...That was a lie. But they probably would have tried if she hadn't killed them before they could even try...

She can't ever become a jedi. She has too much darkness in herself. In the meantime, the FO is already there. During the force bound Kylo Ren has stolen the necklace from her neck and so he discovered her location. But he isn't the one commanding the fleet at the moment...

Hux made sure that his ship wouldn't have made it to Paasana. The golpe is made. And Kylo, who had realized about Rey's great distress, has to survive at the crush of his own ship on an abandoned planet...he is harmed, and all around it's cold and dark, and he is about to let go

But then Luke appears to him...

Luke: Don't tell me you are about to give up, now that you are finally become Supreme Leader, Ben... that ginger cur truly beated you? I thought you were smarter than this

Kylo(struggling not to drawn into an icy lake): Luke?

Luke: I told you

Luke: We would have seen each other again...Now you should really get outside of the water Ben, or your temperature will drop too much and your hearth will stop beating...

Kylo(struggling to talk and to keep his head outside of the icy water): Ma-making f-ffun off mee unt-ttil

Kylo: dd-the e-end unn-cle?

Luke looked back at him in silence.

Kylo: I kkn-new hhe wass pp-plannin t-that for mm-months...I-I am nn-not a st-stuppid...I j-jjjust ggott distrac...
(Then his head goes under the shallow of the water. When he emerges again his lips are deep blu

Luke: Ben...Listen to me kid! You have to react! I need you to survive! Please, make an effort...

Kylo(after re-emerging, totally out of breath): w-why? W-wwhy can't yyyou jjj-just le-let mee d-die here?

Luke: You know why. She needs you Ben more than you can even imagine...

Luke: I am sorry, I couldn't help her either, not much than I could help you. I made many mistakes in my life...But now that I am one with the force I finally can see...

Kylo: Go-good f-ffor you...

Luke: Please Ben! You have to listen to me! Rey needs you now and so the galaxy

Kylo: Sss-she h-hates me...

Luke: Ben, Rey is about to lose herself right now...She needs someone to guide her away from the darkness that will surely reach her hearth...Hurry kid, before it's too late, or you will lose her forever!

The FO in the meantime arrives. Hux knows where the girl is thanks to Kylo Ren's reserches about the necklace. He orders to specifically kill the girl. Finn and Poe and Lando fights against the strormtroopers on Paasana. Rey, already schocked, can't control herself anymore...

She uses the force against the enemies but somehow she hits with too much anger, causing a ship to crush on the ground, right above Chewe. When she feels him die because of her action, Rey loses herself completely... She leaves her resistance friends taking the Falcon...

In this story Chewe truly dies. So the pathos is true and so is Rey's grief.

She blames herself for what she did. She can't forgive herself. She feels like a monster.

Then Ben comes to rescue her from the darkness within her

In my opinion the real plot was this one since the beginning. Then they changed everything piece by piece. In fact Tros doesn't make any sense.

What do you think?
