Shortly after their mission to Kijimi, Poe Dameron, Rey, and Finn undertook a mission to Kef Bir, the ocean moon of Endor, to locate one of the Sith wayfinders belonging to Darth Sidious that was located in the ruins of the DS-2 Death Star.
Prelude
After rescuing the Falcon and Chewie, the Resistance objective was to recover the Emperor's wayfinder on the ruins of the second Death Star.
Mission
Due to some tinkering with Falcon, Poe was able to crash the ship on the grass of the Ocean moon planet Kef Bir. Unbeknownst to them, Kef Bit native Jannah was informed by Babu Frik that the "last hope" was coming here. As they exited the damaged Falcon, they came across the ruins of the second Death Star. D-O asked what it was and Rey replied that it was a bad place. They were soon confronted by Jannah and Company 77. When Rey asked that they needed to get to the ruins, Jannah told them that they could help them but they were going to have to go tomorrow since the tides were too high. They also offered to help fix the Falcon. While fixing the Falcon, Jannah offered Finn a part which Finn realized was part of the First Order. Jannah told him that when they settled down here they used both Galactic Empire and First Order parts. She later revealed that she and the rest of her tribe were former First Order stormtrooper. Finn also revealed that he was too was a stormtrooper. Jannah revealed that when they were force to shoot at civilians they refused and layed down their weapon. This caused Finn to explain how the force brought them together, which caused Jannah to tell he said that it was a good thing, to which Finn replied that it was.
Journey into the Past
Unbeknownst to her companions, Rey impatiently piloted a sea skiff to the ruins. She walked and climbed her way through the dilapidated hallways and chasms of the once fearsome second Death Star. She eventually entered the Emperor's throne room, the place where Luke defeated his father and where Anakin fulfilled the prophecy. She approached the throne of her grandfather. Just then, a door beside the throne opened. Rey walked through the door as it closed on her. Exploring the vault, she discovered the wayfinder. Once she grabbed it, she encountered the dark side version of herself. The dark vision told her not to be afraid of who she was, echoing the words of her master. Her dark side activated her saber staff, and they engaged in a duel. She was no match for her inner darkness, and she tumbled out the vault anddropped the wayfinder. Ren was there, and caught it in his hands. Rey, her anger rising, activated her saber and demanded that he hand it back to her. Kylo responded by telling her that in trying to prove something to his mother, she instead proved something far greater. Rey didn’t relent, and she demanded him again to give back the wayfinder. He answered by telling her that he was the only way she was to get to Exegol, and destroyed the ancient wayfinder in his grip. Infuriated, Rey lashed out with her lightsaber and attacked Ren. While initially dodging it, he soon realized that she would not relent, and he activated his own lightsaber. Leaving the throne room, they took the fight aboard the watery trenches of the ruins.
Fight on the Death Star and Death of a Princess
As Finn watched the fight from a distance he told Jannah that they he needed to help her. Jannah told him they had another sea skiff. They took down to the trenches, where Rey was fiercely dueling Kylo Ren. Far away back on Ajan Kloss, Leia sensed the ongoing fight. Know what she had to do, Leia left to be alone with only R2 with her and an old Rebellion Medal in her hand. As Ren was getting the upper hand, he sensed a dying Leia calling for him.
Leia layed down using the last of her strength. As Ren realized what just happened, he dropped his lightsaber, and Rey was able to catch it and stab him with his own weapon. At this moment, Leia Organa, the last princess of Alderaan, Rebel Princess, and Resistsance Leader, died. Having felt Leia's death, Rey began to mourn her and realized what she had just done to Ren in an act of rage. Regretting her actions, she force healed Ren and told him she did wanted to take his hand, but she wanted him as Ben Solo, not Kylo Ren. She then left in his TIE whisper. As Finn and Jannah were recovering from the fight, The Falcon swooped by them with Poe, Chewie, the droids, and Company 77 were aboard. They then picked them up and left for Ajan Kloss.
Aftermath
Rey took the Kylo's TIE whisper to Ahch-To to spend the rest of her life in exile like her first master Luke Skywalker. The Falcon later returned to the Resistance base on Ajan Kloss, where they heard the news of Leia's death. Back on the Death Star ruins, Kylo looked out into the sea and had a moment with his father Han Solo. This caused Ren to throw his lightsaber into the sea and become Ben Solo once more. Back on Ahch-To, Rey tired to throw her lightsaber into the destroyed TIE whisper, but was caught by a force ghost Luke Skywalker, who encouraged her to fight
Palpatine and not let her bloodline define who she is. Giving her Leia's lightsaber from when when she was training with Luke, she left Ahch-To in Luke's old X-wing to Exegol.
Behind the scenes
The Mission to Kef Bir first appeared in the 2019 film Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker, the third and final installment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy.[1]
The scenes of the mission were filmed on England in November 2019. According to Daisy Ridley, the lightsaber fight between Rey and Kylo Ren were physically the most challenging to do for her as in contrast to other lightsaber duels from the trilogy, they were doused with water cannons the whole time, aside that it was very cold as well due the climatic change.[3]
