This is my first ever fanvid so it’s quiTe wobbly, but hopefully this is not too bad! I started it before the teaser came out so you can’t even imagine how I gasped when dark Rey appeared on screen lol. I’ve always been quite amazed that Rey did not turn to the darkness, in spite of all her past trauma. I don’t know if what we saw in that teaser is a vision or not, but to me it would make so much sense to me if she succumbed to the darkness — just for a little while. I also believe Ben Solo will turn to the light, but there needs to be balance, always, so I think they will switch sides before finding balance together… What are your thoughts? I’d love to know!

story: Supreme Leader Snoke's First Order reigns in the galaxy. Sensing the potential for darkness in young scavenger Rey, he attempts to reach out to her, but instead Rey seeks the help of Jedi master Luke Skywalker. When she arrives on the island, however, her first training session goes wrong as she is immediately pulled by the darkness. That night, the legacy saber that was kept by Luke calls to her, showing her the rise of Darth Vader — she sees only pain, heartbreak, and death. As the vision fades, Rey is lost and distressed. Sensing the darkness building in the young woman, Luke Skywalker decides to search for what is buried deep inside of her during her sleep. What he finds is worse than he could ever imagine: Snoke has taken hold on her, and he sees a terrible vision of what she might become. Rey, who also witnesses the vision in her dreams, wakes up abruptly to find Luke staring down at her, his old features distorted with horror. She is shaken and afraid, yet the Jedi master leaves her without a word a reassurance. Feeling rejected by the man she saw as the father she never had, Rey cracks and visits the dark cave that's been haunting her since she stepped on the island. When the cave shows her her mere reflection, she interprets it as a sign that she will always be alone, and that no one will ever care for her. Deeply wounded, she is swallowed by the darkness. She confronts Luke and they fight, which alerts Ben Solo who can only stand there and watch as Rey strikes Luke down. Eventually, he dies from his wounds under his nephew's eyes, but Ben is not afraid because he knows he has become one with the force and he will see him again. Meanwhile, Rey goes to Snoke to start her new training. Ben, who had always felt a deep connection between himself and Rey, believes he can turn her back to the light, and turns himself in to the First Order to get to her. Snoke finds him soft like his father, and orders his new apprentice to execute him. Rey looks in Ben's eyes, blazing with hope, forgiveness — and love. Something wavers in her. Using the force, she strikes Snoke instead, then charges the Praetorian Guards to protect Ben. She is tripped, and her saber lands next to him. He seizes it while his legacy saber calls to Rey once again. Together, they fight the guards, and I'll let you decide what happens next...
