Rey may have gained custody of the powerful weapon but it can be remembered that Kylo Ren has also mentioned that it belonged to him. According to some sources, Kylo may seek out Ray once again in "Star Wars: Episode 8" and claim what he believes is rightfully his.
Other than the tidbit detail about the movie, Luke Skywalker will also reportedly travel to a casino that may be owned by Lando Calrissian. This special character will be sought by Luke Skywalker and in "Star Wars: Episode 8," he may be vital in Luke's adventure to locate Kylo Ren.
