(SNOKE LAUGHING)

Tied on a string indeed, General Hux. Well done.

The Resistance will soon be in our grasp.

Thank you, Supreme Leader.

(SNOKE LAUGHING)

You wonder why I keep a rabid cur

in such a place of power?

A cur's weakness, properly manipulated,

can be a sharp tool.

How's your wound?

KYLO REN: It's nothing.

Hmm.

The mighty Kylo Ren.

When I found you,

I saw what all masters live to see.

Raw, untamed power.

And beyond that, something truly special.

The potential of your bloodline.

A new Vader.

Now I fear

I was mistaken.

I've given everything I have to you.

To the dark side.

Take that ridiculous thing off.

(HELMET HISSING)

Yes, there it is.

You have too much of your father's heart in you,

young Solo.

I killed Han Solo.

When the moment came, I didn't hesitate.

And look at you,

the deed split your spirit to the bone.

You were unbalanced,

bested by a girl who had never held a lightsaber!

You failed!

(ZAPPING)

Skywalker lives.

The seed of the Jedi Order lives.

And as long as it does,

hope lives in the galaxy.

I thought you would be the one to snuff it out.

Alas, you're no Vader.

You're just a child

in a mask.

(EXHALES)

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTING)

Prepare my ship.

REY: There's no light left in Kylo Ren.

He's only getting stronger.

The First Order will control

all the major systems within weeks.

We need your help.

We need the Jedi Order back.

We need Luke Skywalker.

You don't need Luke Skywalker.

Did you hear a word I just said?

LUKE: You think what?

I'm gonna walk out with a laser sword

and face down the whole First Order?

What did you think was going to happen here?

You think that I came

to the most unfindable place in the galaxy

for no reason at all?

Go away.

I'm not leaving without you!

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(CREATURE GROANING)

(CREATURE WHINNYING)

Careful!

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

LUKE: You're wasting your time.

(INDISTINCT MURMURING)

(MURMURING CONTINUES)

LUKE: Who are you?

I know this place.

LUKE: Built a thousand generations ago

to keep these.

The original Jedi texts.

Just like me, they're the last of the Jedi religion.

You've seen this place.

You've seen this island.

(WHISPERING) Only in dreams.

Who are you?

The Resistance sent me.

They sent you?

What's special about you?

-LUKE: Where are you from? -Nowhere.

-No one's from nowhere. -Jakku.

All right, that is pretty much nowhere.

Why are you here, Rey, from nowhere?

The Resistance sent me.

We need your help.

The First Order's become unstoppable.

Why are you here?

Something inside me has always been there.

But now it's awake.

And I'm afraid.

I don't know what it is

or what to do with it.

And I need help.

You need a teacher.

I can't teach you.

Why not?

I've seen your daily routine. You're not busy.

I will never train another generation of Jedi.

I came to this island to die.

It's time for the Jedi to end.

Why?

Leia sent me here with hope.

If she was wrong, she deserves to know why.

We all do.

PILOT : Here they come.

PILOT : Incoming fighters. Form up.

PILOT : Vector in at attack speed.

PILOT : Pull up! PILOT : Flank right.

PILOT : Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! We're going down!

Recharge the auto-cannons.

Target their cruiser.

(BB-8 CHIRPING)

I see it. Tallie, they've targeted the fleet

and begun the priming sequence.

Copy that.

We're almost there.

Bombardiers,

begin your drop sequence.

BOMBARDIER: I've got a visual on the target.

We're approaching the sweet spot.

-(BLEEPING RAPIDLY) -BOMBARDIER: Bombs are armed.

(SCREAMS)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

-Auto-cannons aimed. -Forty seconds to full charge.

Destroy that last bomber!

Paige, come in. We're over the target.

POE: Why aren't your bay doors open?

You're the only bomber left. It's all down to you!

-Nix! -POE: Paige!

Drop the payload now!

is making contact from his ship.

Excellent.

I'll take it in my chambers.

General Hux.

(INHALES SHAKILY) Ah, good. Supreme Lea...

(GRUNTS)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

SNOKE: My disappointment

in your performance cannot be overstated.

They can't get away, Supreme Leader.

We have them tied on the end of a string.

Rey!

(INDISTINCT PA CHATTER)

Well done, pal.

(BB-8 CHIRPING)

'Finn naked leaking bag'? What? Did you fry a chip?

(BB-8 CHIRPING)

(BB-8 CHIRPING)

Finn! Finn, buddy.

It's so good to see you.

What? Let's...

We need to get you dressed. Come on.

You must have a thousand questions.

Where's Rey?

REY: Master Skywalker?

(DOOR CREAKS)

Master Skywalker?

I'm from the Resistance.

Your sister Leia sent me. We need your help.

Hello?

(SCREECHING)

(CHITTERING)

(KNOCKING)

(KNOCKING)

Go away.

(CHEWIE GROWLS)

Chewie, what are you doing here?

He said you're coming back with us.

How did you find me?

Long story. We'll tell you on the Falcon.

Falcon?

(CHEWIE GROWLS SOFTLY)

LUKE: Wait.

Where's Han?

--------------------------------------------------------------

(BEACON PULSATING)

-(BLASTER FIRING) -(GRUNTS)

(MOUSE DROID BLEEPING)

You'll bring Luke Skywalker to me.

You're not doing this. The effort would kill you.

Can you see my surroundings?

You're gonna pay for what you did!

I can't see yours.

Just you.

So, no.

This is something else.

(DOOR OPENING)

Luke.

What's that about?

(SPEAKING ALIEN DIALECT)

I was cleaning my blaster. It went off.

LUKE: Let's get started.

(SPEAKING ALIEN DIALECT)

Who were those things?

Caretakers.

Island natives.

They've kept up the Jedi structures

since they were built.

I don't think they like me.

LUKE: Can't imagine why.

REY: Master Skywalker,

we need you to bring the Jedi back

because Kylo Ren is strong

with the dark side of the Force.

Without the Jedi, we won't stand a chance against him.

What do you know about the Force?

It's a power that Jedi have

that lets them control people

and make things float.

LUKE: Impressive.

Every word in that sentence was wrong.

Lesson one, sit here, legs crossed.

The Force is not a power you have.

It's not about lifting rocks.

It's the energy between all things,

a tension, a balance,

that binds the universe together.

Okay.

But what is it?

Close your eyes.

Breathe.

Now,

reach out.

(GASPS) I feel something.

-You feel it? -Yes, I feel it.

-That's the Force. -Really?

LUKE: Wow, it must be really strong with you.

I've never felt any...

Ow!

You meant reach out like...

I'll try again.

LUKE: Breathe.

Just breathe.

Reach out with your feelings.

What do you see?

REY: The island.

Life.

Death and decay,

that feeds new life.

Warmth.

Cold.

Peace.

Violence.

And between it all?

Balance.

An energy.

A Force.

And inside you?

Inside me

that same Force.

And this is the lesson.

That Force does not belong to the Jedi.

To say that if the Jedi die, the light dies, is vanity.

Can you feel that?

There's something else

beneath the island.

A place.

A dark place.

Balance.

Powerful light, powerful darkness.

It's cold.

It's calling me.

Resist it, Rey.

Rey?

Rey!

(ROARING)

(PANTING)

You went straight to the dark.

That place was trying to show me something.

It offered something you needed.

And you didn't even try to stop yourself.

REY: But I didn't see you.

Nothing from you.

You've closed yourself off from the Force.

Of course you have.

I've seen this raw strength only once before,

in Ben Solo.

It didn't scare me enough then.

It does now.

(RADAR BLEEPS)

What was that?

Nothing, admiral.

Passing debris.

The fleet's only got hours of fuel left.

We gotta hurry.

Still can't reach the Resistance?

-(CHEWIE GROWLS) -Keep at it.

If you get through, check their status.

And ask about Finn.

(CHEWIE GROWLING)

(PORG CHEEPING)

(CHEWIE GROANING)

(PORG CHIRPING)

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Why is the Force connecting us?

You and I.

Murderous snake.

You're too late. You lost. I found Skywalker.

Did he tell you what happened?

The night I destroyed his temple,

did he tell you why?

I know everything I need to know about you.

You do?

Ah, you do.

You have that look in your eyes.

From the forest.

When you called me a monster.

You are a monster.
