[Fanmade/X-post] Rey Skywalker - Episode VIII Music Cue

Was playing around with audio mixing today and made the above musical cue to accompany a scene about Rey's parentage. Below, is my speculative scene, set at the beginning of Episode VIII:

[RIGHT WHERE EPISODE VII LEFT OFF]
Hesitation lined the jedi master’s face, but his cobalt eyes were intent. Slowly, the man reached out with an open palm, gray dawn glinting off exposed metal.

Around Rey, the salty air stirred. The lightsaber, Luke’s lightsaber, gently floated from her palm, hanging weightless before her. Then it broke apart. Rey’s eyes widened, but she did not move.

Myriad switches, rings, bolts, couplers, and power cells streamed out in an arc, now an impossible tangle Rey was sure could never be reassembled. At least some of the scrap that she could identify would have fetched a good price at Niima outpost. Her appraisal was cut short when her gaze fixed on a blue crystal, its facets bearing strange light. Stranger yet, the gem hummed, with an almost familiar melody.

The arc of components had now grown to fully encircle the young woman. Faster and faster, stream grew into strong current. Something about it tugged at Rey, at the very edge of her memory. She extended her hand toward the blur.

A girl’s faint laughter echoed in the air, carried on a warm breeze. She turned. Golden light speckled with dust motes filled a room, its walls rough sandstone. Her hands were still reaching forward, but they were the arms of a child. Gears and spanners circled lazily overhead. Rey laughed in delight. It was a little girl’s laugh.

“Kira, at this rate, you’ll end up disassembling Artoo!”

A young man with sandy hair knelt in front of her, his hands resting lightly on her shoulders. A kind smile belied the admonishment. He had cobalt eyes.

The world collapsed to a windswept cliffside. Rey whipped her head around to face Luke Skywalker, a man she already knew.

Luke willed himself to remain facing the girl, whose astonished eyes now brimmed with tears. Lips quivering, she at last mustered the will to speak.

“Why?”

Been following these. Your version four is fantastic. It cuts off during the crescendo though. I guess it's a work in progress?
