Ochi of Bestoon

Seemingly abandoned by her parents on Jakku, Rey grew up a scavenger amid the wreckage of war. Her life changed when she agreed to help a droid on an urgent mission for the Resistance. Rey discovered she was powerful in the Force, and sought out the vanished Jedi Master Luke Skywalker to train her. That ended in disappointment, as did her attempt to bring Kylo Ren back to the light. But the resilient Rey continued her training and learned the truth about her parentage and her mysterious connection with Kylo. She then faced her greatest test: a confrontation with fear and evil that would determine the galaxy’s fate.

The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural, and Sheev Palpatine is the most infamous follower of its doctrines. Scheming, powerful, and evil to the core, Darth Sidious restored the Sith and destroyed the Jedi Order. Living a double life, he was also Palpatine, a Naboo Senator and phantom menace. He manipulated the political system of the Galactic Republic until he was named Supreme Chancellor -- and eventually Emperor – and ruled the galaxy through fear and tyranny. The galaxy rejoiced when he died at the Battle of Endor, but Sidious had cheated death and patiently plotted a return to power.

Cobbled from odds and ends in the workshop of a droidsmith, little D-O is an impressionable little roller that becomes fixated upon BB-8.

This ornate knife, once owned by Ochi of Bestoon, sends a shock through Rey when she touches it, as the evil deeds committed with it still resonate in the Force. Sith runes carved on the blade reveal the location of the Emperor’s lost Sith wayfinder – but C-3PO’s programming forbids him from translating them. Unlocking the ominous weapon’s mysteries will lead Rey to a fateful discovery about her own origins.

When Ochi of Bestoon met his end in a vexis burrow on Pasaana, his ship remained where he left it atop a nearby bluff. With the First Order having confiscated the Millennium Falcon, Poe Dameron and Finn revive the Bestoon Legacy for a hasty trip to Kijimi. Rey has a strange feeling that she’s seen the ship before, and will soon discover its story is bound up with her traumatic exile on Jakku.

The desert planet of Pasaana is full of life and culture. Towering buttes of granite and sandstone disrupt long stretches of sun-bleached dunes and shrubland, creating shadowed valleys where water collects and life thrives, including the native Aki-Aki.
