Perhaps your last suggestion - Rey’s dream and R2D2 finding the map. Should be clear enough 😉
And yes, leave all the sword and training stuff for TLJ. Here seeing Luke’s face is enough.

I’ll try that.

I think I get what you’re describing. Honestly I think this is one of those things where you have to test it out, because it is hard to say what works better on description alone, at least in this case since it is a very different idea.

Here’s a rough idea of what it could look like.

Though, it probably makes more sense to cut the brief scene with Leia in favor of 3PO announcing his intention to tell everyone, which would better explain Rey’s sudden appearance in the next scene.

What this sequence really cries out for IMO is a transition from Rey asleep to R2, but I don’t really want to reuse the same sleeping shot.

I am still trying to think of ways you might help make it very clear that this is a dream or vision of some kind. What about some kind of edge blur and a slight RGB split?

Your wish is my command (at least for the TFA bits of the dream).

Also, if you end the film with Rey leaving to go find Luke, do you think you might include a “Rey’s Journey” sequence in a potential TLJ edit where we see them jumping from planet to planet before she reaches Ach-To? I always loved that test you made for that idea, and I also like the added meaning of the various points on the map being another level of “Jedi steps”.

I think that would be very fun. It all depends on the available footage or if someone like EC Henry is willing to take on another render project.

Do you have a rough cut of this?

I don’t think a rough cut would be particularly helpful at this stage, since so much is still being assembled. Maybe when I have all the big ideas in place and all that remains is polishing I’ll release something for comment and dissection. It’s getting there!
