A battle has erupted into space tie fighters and X-wings going at it. A young pilot, Poe Dameron is being chased by the New Empire after stealing plans that The New Republic has been trying to get their hands on for months.
"Beeb Beeb" Poe's faithful droid BB8 is trying to tell him about the fighters behind them.
"Yeah Yeah I know"
Fighters keep attacking the pilot. Lucky in this situation that Poe is the best pilot in the New Republic, hand picked by Chancellor Solo. As tie fighters are closing in, Poe pulls his fighter back as two tie fighters crash. Poe then destroys the other three behind him.
"Alright BB8 lets go we need Luke Skywalker's help" Poe and his faithful droid then take off to meet with the Grandmaster.
The Jedi training grounds
At Yavin the base which once belonged to the Rebellion from the original Galactic Civil Water has been turned into the new Jedi temple for Luke's Jedi order. Two Jedi training with a lightsaber spare. It is Jedi council member Kyle Katarn, one of the first to join Skywalker's order. Practicing with him was his apprentice Ben Skywalker, who is just about Seventeen. Ben a blond haired boy has been training with Kyle for years as he struggled with the light and the dark much like his grandfather and father before him, which is why he was paired up with Kyle since he has also experienced this himself. The two trade blows with their lightsaber blue lightsabers. Kyle, who learned most of his forms through Luke and holocrons, has been teaching Ben all he has known for the past five years since being master and student. Kyle is about to swing, but Ben blocks it.
"You're getting good at this my friend" Kyle chuckles as they continue swinging at each other.
"Well I learn from the best" Ben smirks. Ben has always had an over confident attitude, but with who his family is he felt he had a lot to live up to. Ben does a front flip over his master and has his lightsaber at Kyle's head.
"Good job kid next to your old man and my first student Jaden your the third to beat me in a sparring match"
"Like I said I learned from the best" Ben then shuts off his lightsaber and the two bow to each other.
"Nice job kid" Jacen Solo and Jaina, his twin, walk up to see how the training is going. Jacen, 29 year old long brown hair has always been like an older brother to Ben. Like his cousin Jacenhas felt a darkness within him ever since his father Han Solo died when he was really young. Jaina with her long brown hair always felt strong towards the light.
"You did great" Jaina smiled
Before anyone could say a world a X-wing has landed in throng of them. It was Poe Dameron he jumped out of his ship with BB8.
"I need to see Luke Skywalker now" Poe with the data plans in his hand.
The scene shifts to the meeting room of the Council with several Jedi masters. Luke Skywalker with his Wife Mara Jade, Kyle Katarn, Kenth Hamner, and other Jedi as well as the Solo twins, and Ben. Luke Skywalker wearing his Jedi lightside robes stroked his beard as he worded R2, his faithful droid opened up the plans.
Luke then gasps, "This is a map towards the unknown regions. I have been searching for this for months. How did you find this?"
"I was sent on a mission from Chancellor Solo as an undercover spy, so I took this from the Empire and fled. Poe's response
"I knew we should have crushed the Empire" Jacen Clenches his fist, but is stopped by Luke. "I told you Jacen, violences doesn't come first" Jason then turns his head away.
As R2 goes into more depth of the map he is stopped by Poe, 'This looks like some ancient planet. Leia said you'd want to see this"
"I saw this while studying the holocrons. Looks to be the lost tribe of the sith I've studied for a while, centuries ago they fled into the unknown regions." Luke stretches out his black glove containing his mechanical hand. "This map is only half complete to get to the lost tribe The other half is rumored to be buried in Malachor V where there is a hidden temple abandoned . I will be sending the group to investigate this. I will need a Jedi team to occupy Poe in case any trouble follows. Which is why I will be sending Jacen and Jaina with you" Before Luke can finish speaking Kyle interrupts him. "Hey Luke why not send Ben I think he is ready"
Mara wants to protest letting her only son go, but Luke insists, "Yes Ben has been training really hard. I see a lot of improvement from the training. It will be a good experience as wekk" The grandmaster looks at the boy with pride. "Very well Ben will go just stay with your cousins and don't get into any trouble"
"Yes fath.. I mean GrandMaster" Ben forgetting to address his father as GrandMaster as that's what he calls him during Jedi business.
"Where will we be going?" Jacen questioned this mission.
"You will follow this map to an old Jedi tomb, where it will show you the temple. Investigate what is special and report back. No engaging with the enemy if there is one" Luke then dismisses the council.
While the group of Jedi and Poe need to get ready, Mara pulls Luke aside with Kyle. "Do you really have to send our son out on this dangerous mission?" Mara was infuriated in the fact that Luke didn't talk to her about this.
"I trained him myself, Mara. He is more than ready" Kyle tries to reassure her
"Kyles right we can't sideline Ben anymore he is not a child anymore. Plus we need to give the new generation a chance. We are not gonna be here forever. With new threats rising the new Jedi need to step up. I will not make the same mistakes as the old Jedi did. In the meantime I would like you and Kyle to stay here and look after the temple. I have an important trip to attend" Luke grabs and goes to prepare his X-wing. "R2 goes with Ben and watches after him".
The three masters walk Luke down to where he needs to be. "Going to visit Leia?" Mara asks her husband.
"No, I had a vision not too long ago. I can't tell what, but I need to go to the Wellspring of lids. Luke jumps in his X-wing.
"What is the Wellspring of life?" Kyle puzzled by what Luke just said
"Home world to ancient beings strong in force. Master Yoda been there searching answers about the force according to his journal, but until I get back I need you both to be here"
"I will go with you" Mara who was previously the Emperor's hand pleads with her husband.
"No this is something that has to be done alone I will be back I promise" Luke leans to kiss his wife before taking off.
The scene shifts to space in the center of the hanger where Poe checks out the Millennium Falcon, which was a famous ship back in the days of the Rebellion.
"Come on" Jacen snarls as he walks past Poe. The two with Ben and Jaina take the ship out in space above Yavin where Poe is behind Jaina who is flying the ship with Jacen next to her and Ben behind both of them with R2 and BB8. Poe breaks the silence, "Cool ship I heard stories, but didn't think you guys kept the Falcon at the Jedi Temple"
"Well after dad died Uncle Chewie wanted to be with his people, so he gave the ship to our mother who gave the ship to Uncle Luke" Jaina says with a slight smile.
"I swear I will find the bounty hunter that murdered dad and kill him" Jacen holds up the fist angrily until his sister tries to comfort him. "Jacen we talk about this. It is not the Jedi way"
Jancen stands up "Yeah well maybe the Jedi way isn't enough anymore" Jacen begins to walk.
"Ben go make sure he's alright" Jaina calls out as Ben begins to walk out.
"Sorry said something" Poe moves up next to Jaina in the co-pilot seat.
"Oh no its not you. Ever since dad died me and my family have sensed his anger grow over the years. Just wish I could help him" Jaina looks down in sadness to have her hand met by Poes.
"I get how you feel. I lost my mother when I was wrong and ran away to work as a spice runner until your mother Leia recruited me to be part of the army for the New Republic. I get how you feel"
Poe and Jaina looked at each other awkwardly until the droids behind then beeped.
"What's that BB8? We are ready to go to hyperspace?" Poe then turned away and jumped to hyperspace with the rest of the Falcon crew.
