Whatever journey Rey and Finn end up on seems like it will be central to the entire movie, maybe even the entire new trilogy. But what exactly will it entail?

So far we’ve seen them together in just a couple of scenes: one where she is extending a hand to the former Stormtrooper, and the other with the two of them (plus BB-8) running away from an explosion. This indicates that whatever mission it is they’re on, they are now under threat, presumably from the First Order.

The biggest plot rumour so far has been the one the revolves around the two characters finding Luke’s old lightsaber - the one he lost in The Empire Strikes Back - and trying to hunt down the now-reclusive Jedi. Could that be it, or is there another purpose for their travels and travails?
