On the planet of Ahch-To, situated within the Unknown Regions, Rey was undergoing training to become a Jedi under the tutelage of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. Skywalker emphasized the importance of patience when wielding the Force to Rey. However, Rey grew impatient, desiring to apply her abilities to more significant endeavors. Seeking to impress Skywalker, she employed the Force to levitate a Lanai, only for Skywalker to express his disappointment and instruct her to return the Lanai due to her impetuous decision.
Skywalker advised Rey to remain calm and avoid haste, which only served to further provoke her, leading her to abruptly depart. This situation evoked memories for Skywalker of his own training with Jedi Master Yoda and his premature departure to rescue his comrades. A sudden, resounding noise emanated from the beach, prompting Skywalker and Chewbacca to investigate its source.
They discovered Rey levitating a substantial boulder on the beach. Skywalker urged her to release the boulder, deeming her unprepared. Disagreeing, Rey elevated the boulder even higher. While Skywalker persisted in his attempts to persuade Rey to relinquish the boulder, Chewbacca emitted a roar as something surfaced from the ocean.
Without warning, a massive pallaskean emerged from the ocean depths. The pallaskean launched an assault on Rey and her companions as they attempted to flee. Skywalker expressed his bewilderment at the pallaskean's aggression, considering it contrary to their typical behavior. The creature collided with Skywalker, but Rey retaliated by using the Force to hurl the pallaskean against a nearby cliff. As rocks cascaded from the cliff, Rey intercepted them with her lightsaber. Meanwhile, Chewbacca aided the porgs in escaping the falling debris. Rey noticed that a porg was carrying a baby pallaskean in its mouth. She then realized that the boulder she had moved had been shielding the large pallaskean's nest.
As the pallaskean resumed its assault on the trio, Rey restrained it with the Force while Skywalker and Chewbacca returned the boulder to its original position. Skywalker chose to rely on Chewbacca's physical strength rather than his own Force abilities. With the babies secured, the pallaskean retreated back into the ocean. Rey offered her apologies for her actions, and Skywalker reminded her of the importance of patience, a lesson she had previously learned. However, Rey also gained a renewed appreciation for Skywalker's enduring heroism.
