I have updated the scenes prior to the afterlife slightly. To continue:
Kylo awakens in a First Order medical bay. Surrounding him are, from left to right, Rose, Poe, Finn, Rey, Threepio, and Chewie. Poe says ‘I still think we should kill him again.’ Finn raises Kylo’s saber. Rose and Chewie voice immediate dissent and Rey asks for the saber, which Finn hands over.
They tell Kylo that he’s been nearly dead for several days, and at one point they really thought he was, but during this time Hux has declared himself Supreme Leader and destroyed Leia on Yavin 4. The Resistance managed to disable and commandeer one of Kylo’s ships, at which point the rest of the fleet evacuated. This meant leaving the First Order soldiers on the ground to be taken prisoner. Now every prisoner is being held in the main hangar of the destroyer, and this is the reason our friends need Kylo Ren. They know that Kylo has been forced out of the First Order and his troops are wavering, their loyalty to the Order sorely tested by this attempt on their life. All his soldiers know is that Kylo has put his life on the line for them in every battle, and they will follow him to the death. Rey hands the saber to Kylo, asking him to lead his forces alongside their own. Kylo nods assent. They fit him with a prosthetic arm and leg, and he dresses for the occasion.
On the balcony overlooking the assembled officers and soldiers, Kylo announces that the First Order has betrayed them and is their enemy as well as his. He names Hux and Thrawn specifically as leaders who will suppress all religions of the Force under their fist and in so doing bring disorder to the galaxy. But, he says, the Force is true. As one who was dead and returned to life he has seen the reality of the Force present in all people, not just those of noble blood. Thus he sees that he is not any more worthy of command than another. He bequeaths his saber to Finn, the man who slew Kylo Ren. Henceforth, he wishes to be known only as Ben. Finn takes the saber and the soldiers salute him. He motions this down. His first order to them is to remove their helmets and see their fellows for who they truly are. They fight for the First Order no longer!
