Another day, another idea for the duel and hangar scenes:
“Rey….wherever you are…You are hard to find.
“You are hard to get rid of.”
“I pushed you in the desert because I needed to see it…I needed you to see it…who you are. I know the rest of your story. Rey…”
“You’re lying.”
“You were right…your parents were no one. Junk traders from the outer rim.”
“Don’t!”
“Your parents had no power in the Force. And neither did you.”
“I don’t want this!”
“Yet they were killed…”
“No!”
“…by the Emperor’s assassins.”
(Rey sees her abandonment.)
“Come back! Nooo!”
“They took your parents ship…and left their bodies to rot.”
“Stop talking.”
(Cutaway to heroes capture)
“You never found their bodies, so you convinced yourself that they were still alive…and would return someday. But deep down, you always knew the truth. And the truth…the guilt…has eaten away at you your entire life.”
“So that’s where you are. You know why the Emperor wanted you dead. I’ll come tell you.”
…
“Why did the Emperor come for me? Why did he want to kill a child? Tell me.”
“Because a six year old girl had told everyone she met that she was a Skywalker. A child’s dream…to be a hero like Luke.”
“You blame yourself for your parent’s death, but it was Palpatine who killed them. There’s no need to blame yourself any longer. Just reach out and take your vengeance. We can kill him, Rey…together.”
(Removes his helmet)
“You know what you need to do. You know.”
“I know.”
