Step-by-step quests can be a little tricky. How do you know when you've ticked off each step? What if you miss one? Can you keep going and fill it in later? Or will that create other problems? What if later steps depend on ones that came before?
All this uncertainty means they're great for games!
Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)
The funny thing is that I can't tell if Corey is being sarcastic or serious with any of this. Luke presumably went through all of the steps on the Path out of the comic, but even if not, he did puzzle through all of them for Vader. A scene transition elsewhere does seem likely, however, as there doesn't feel like there's more that can happen here. Plus, that'd skip to Rey traveling to wherever it might be that she thinks will have some sort of answer.
So what does Rey get from handing Leia the lightsaber? The way the hands are in the last panel does indicate to me that's what happened, but why? Does she think she'll lose it? Is it meant as a keepsake to remember Luke by? Or perhaps Rey thinks she's not worthy to have the lightsaber after the problems hitting the remote. That would be a little odd, but also is the only thing I can think of that'd make sense.

Rey: Hmm. If the girl in the visions is Leia, maybe I have to give the sword to her.
Rey: Here. I want you to have this sword.
Leia: My hand-to-hand combat days are well behind me, Rey.
Rey: It belonged to your brother. Maybe you’re... meant to have it. For emotional fulfilment after his death, or closure, or... something.
Leia: That’s very thoughtful of you.
Rey: Right. So I wonder if that’s one step of the vision quest completed.
BB-8: Do you get a mission milestone notification?
GM: This isn’t that sort of game.
BB-8: Oh yeah. I remember the Path to the Light Side. Total grind-fest. But you should at least get some XP for handing in a quest item.
GM: Again: Not that sort of game.
BB-8: Fine. Can we at least fast travel to the next plot point?
