I also have some extremely rare footage of the Millennium Falcon making its first reconnaissance of the planet. As you can see, the Force initially misled Rey into circling around Little Skellig, which is mostly home to lots of gannets and lots of bird poop.

However, this scene was suppressed because Jedi try to keep it a secret that the Force likes to play practical jokes once in a while.
