Summary
(This picks up right where Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker left off.)
While Finn and Poe are off leading the Resistance and establishing a new galactic government, Rey begins her new life on Tatooine. She needs to learn how to control the incredible powers that she inherited from Palpatine. Her ability to wield Force lightning has already put her friends' lives at risk once. Rey refuses to lose control around them again. That's why she finds herself utterly alone.
Besides, Poe doesn't need a Palpatine hanging around and ruining his attempts to create a new Galactic Senate. Or something like that.
As Rey contemplates her isolation from Luke's childhood home, she can't help thinking of Kylo Ren... Of Ben. His death left her with so many unresolved feelings, between her first kiss and his last breaths. Rey doesn't know how to mourn him. But she saw his body dissolve into the Force. She knows that, unlike Palpatine and Vader, Ben is never coming back. At least, she can take comfort in the knowledge that Ben Solo will stay at peace.
Right?
Wrong. The Sith is alive, and so is Kylo Ren.
