According to Comicbookmovie, the new leak was reported by Stormtrooper Larry, a source that had previously provided pictures from the film set. However, fans are suggested to take the information with a pinch of salt and consider it a mere rumour as the veracity of the claim can only be determined when "Star Wars: Episode VIII" releases in December 2017.
The scene reportedly opens with Luke Skywalker telling Rey what led to the end of Jedi Council. Apparently, a secret that they were hiding and their arrogance became the cause of their demise. This discussion takes place between Rey and Luke Skywalker, and spoilers hint at the presence of Yoda.
Luke takes Rey's hand and take her back in the past where they see two children playing near a tree, assumed to be on the Ach-To planet. The boy realises that when he comes close to the tree his strength and intuition amplifies and the boy becomes increasingly angry. This anger pushes the boy to kill the girl during an argument. The boy touches the tree and undergoes a transformation that causes him to kill his parents. The boy exiled himself and leaves the planet. As for the girl, she is revealed to be alive and powerful. After undergoing the transformation, the girl lays the foundation of first Jedi Order.
The Force, as the girl believes, can be used for both good and evil. While addressing her disciples, the girl informs them that she would return some day as a child, boy or a girl, and they must train her. Luke informs Rey that the Jedis have been searching for "The One" but in vain. Initially, they thought Anakin Skywalker was the chosen one. However, he admits being wrong as it resulted in Clone Wars.
The scene not only reveals how the Jedi Order originated but also the origin of the "chosen one" and how Anakin Skywalker deceived them. In addition, the scene reveals Rey's parents and confirms that Luke Skywalker is not her father.
The scene suggests Rey could be "The One" who was born to bring balance to The Force. Luke informs her that she was supposed to undergo a particular training. Also, he gives her a choice to make and she must decide before the sunset.
The website speculates that "until sunset" is a reference to the attack from the Knights of Ren after dark. And Rey could be a reincarnation of the founder of the Jedi Order.
"Star Wars: Episode VIII" stars Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac, Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Carrie Fisher, John Boyega and others. It is slated to be released on Dec. 15, 2017. Stay tuned for more spoilers and updates.
