After the Millennium Falcon crash lands, Rey, Finn, Poe, Chewie, C-3PO, BB-8 and new droid D-0 meet Janna, played by Naomi Ackie, one of the planets inhabitants. Rey uses the Sith Dagger to locate the wayfinder and in her drive to locate it takes a wave rider to the ruins of the Death Star ahead of the others. There she confronts Kylo Ren and a force power within.
