REY
I know, I know, but I am trying to get better.
LEIA ORGANA
Rey, why do you only attack the remotes you're looking at?
REY
So I can be accurate, not miss?
LEIA ORGANA
Spoken like a soldier, not a Jedi. What if you can't see?
REY
Yes master.
LEIA ORGANA
No Rey, I'm asking you, what if you can't see?
REY
I... I don't know.
LEIA ORGANA
What is the force Rey?
REY
It's an energy that connects and binds everything together.
LEIA ORGANA
And you can feel that connection?
REY
Yes.
LEIA ORGANA
Then you shouldn't need your eyes
to see.
LEIA ORGANA gives REY a helmet with a visor she cannot see through (from The Rise of Skywalker). REY puts it on and the training remotes float back up.
LEIA ORGANA (CONT'D)
Begin.
REY swings on the remote behind her and knocks it down. When she does this, she gets shot.
LEIA ORGANA (CONT'D)
Patience Rey. Wait for right
moment.
REY blocks two bolts and then knocks another remote down. She gets shot again. REY blocks another bolt but is shot again. REY knocks the third remote down and is hit again. LEIA ORGANA observes in silence. REY is able to block the last remote's bolts, but swings at it twice and misses. The remote floats just outside of the hangar opening, REY swings and hits it. However, REY oversteps and starts to fall out the hangar with only one foot still on the ledge. LEIA ORGANA quickly grabs her arm, saving her from a long fall. REY takes off her helmet and looks down at the drop.
LEIA ORGANA (CONT'D)
Patient and mindful Rey. That is
what a Jedi is.
LEIA ORGANA pulls REY back into the hangar on her two feet.
LEIA ORGANA (CONT'D)
And focused, you have to feel the
force around you.
REY
Patient, mindful, focused, it all
seems easier to read than to do.
LEIA ORGANA
Clear your mind, that's how you
focus. Feel your surroundings and
be mindful of them. Then exercise
patience.
REY
I will... master.
LEIA ORGANA
That's all I wanted to hear.
At that moment a shaking Quadjumper starship slowly flies into the hangar and lands. REY is surprised.
REY
You bought a Quadjumper?
LEIA ORGANA
I did. We need something that
doesn't draw First Order
attention.
REY
Like the Falcon?
LEIA ORGANA nods. FINN exits the quadjumper and walks towards LEIA and REY.
LEIA ORGANA (CONT'D)
Your piloting skills are
improving quickly Finn.
