Map to Skywalker
- "The map to Skywalker. We know you've found it, and now you're going to give it to the First Order."
- ―Kylo Ren, to Lor San Tekka[1]
The Resistance were able to complete the map to the legendary Jedi Luke Skywalker.
Themap to Skywalker was aholographicstar map of part ofthe galaxy that showed the location of thefirst Jedi Temple onAhch-To, whereLuke Skywalker was hiding inexile.[1]Kylo Ren described it as a transgalactic navigational chart.[2]
During theirconflict with theResistance, theFirst Order recovered part of the map from the Archives of theEmpire, whileLor San Tekka was able to get part of a map.[1] Skywalker's droid,R2-D2, also received a portion of the map fromhis master, then went into low-power mode to protect the data. It was impossible to distinguish where the map led without both portions.[3]
The First Order only needed Tekka's portion to find Skywalker and complete the map. Ren,Gideon Hask, and a detachment ofstormtrooperswent to theaquaticplanetPillio on a report thatJinata Security had found a mysterious man they had found in theEmperor's Observatory. It turned out to beDel Meeko, Hask's former squadmate fromInferno Squad. Afterforcing Meeko to tell himwhere Tekka was, Ren let Hask confront andkill Meeko.[4] They eventuallyfound Tekka onJakku, although they didn't find the map.[1]
After theBattle of Starkiller Base, R2 was awakened from his low-power mode. The Resistance combined R2's portion with Tekka's (who was now dead at the hands of Ren) portion to reveal the completed map.Rey,Chewbacca and R2-D2 followed the map to Ahch-To, where they found the self-exiled Jedi Master.[1]

Behind the scenes[]
The map to Skywalker first appeared in the2015 filmStar Wars: Episode VIIThe Force Awakens. An idea intended byJ.J. Abrams,Lawrence Kasdan, andMichael Arndt was that R2-D2 got valuable data from the Empire and the locations of Jedi Temples when he plugged into the information base of theDeath Star duringStar Wars: Episode IVA New Hope.[5] This was later confirmedin-universe in thecomicStar Wars (2020) 13.[6]
