(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

EVACUATION OFFICER:

We're not clear yet.

There are still pallets

of cannon shells in C bunker.

Forget the munitions,

there's no time.

Just get everyone

on the transports.

(DISTANT BOOM)

Oh, no.

(DISTANT BOOM)

We've caught them in the

middle of their evacuation.

I have my orders from

Supreme Leader Snoke himself.

This is where we snuff out

the Resistance

once and for all.

Tell Captain Canady

to prime his dreadnought.

Incinerate their base,

destroy their transports

and obliterate their fleet.

(ALARM BLARING)

(RADAR BLEEPING)

General, Resistance ship

approaching.

Guns and shields

in attack mode.

A single light fighter.

(BB-8 CHIRPING NERVOUSLY)

Happy beeps here, buddy,

come on.

We've pulled

crazier stunts than this.

LEIA: Just for the record,

Commander Dameron,

I'm with the droid

on this one.

POE: Thank you

for your support, General.

Happy beeps.

(FLICKS SWITCH)

Attention.

This is Commander Poe Dameron

of the Republic fleet,

I have an urgent

communique for General Hugs.

Patch him through.

This is General Hux

of the First Order.

The Republic is no more.

Your fleet are Rebel scum

and war criminals.

Tell your precious princess

there will be no terms,

there will be no surrender.

POE: Hi, I'm holding

for General Hugs.

This is Hux.

You and your friends

are doomed.

We will wipe your filth

from the galaxy.

POE: Okay. I'll hold.

Hello?

POE: Hello? Yup.

I'm still here.

Can he hear me?

-POE: Hugs?

-He can.

POE: With an 'H.' Skinny guy.

Kinda pasty.

I can hear you.

Can you hear me?

Look, I can't hold forever.

If you reach him,

tell him Leia has

an urgent message for him...

I believe

he's tooling with you, sir.

POE: ...about his mother.

Open fire!

-(DISPLAY BLEEPING RAPIDLY)

-BB-8, punch it!

(BB-8 CHIRPS EXCITEDLY)

(GRUNTS)

(BB-8 EXCLAIMING)

He's going

for the dreadnought.

Ha!

He's insane.

Woo-hoo! That's got a kick.

All right,

taking out the cannons now.

Tallie, start your approach.

TALLIE: (ON RADIO) Copy that.

Captain Canady, why aren't you

blasting that puny ship?

That puny ship is too small

and at too close range.

We need to

scramble our fighters

five bloody minutes ago.

He'll never penetrate

our armor.

He's not trying to penetrate

our armor.

He's clearing out

our surface cannons.

One cannon left.

And here comes the parade.

(BB-8 CHIRPING NERVOUSLY)

Yeah! Yeah, I see him!

(MACHINERY SPARKING)

No, no, no. Damn it!

BB-8, my weapons systems

are down.

We gotta take out

that last cannon

or our bombers are toast.

Work your magic, buddy.

(BB-8 CHIRPING)

(BB-8 CHIRPING NERVOUSLY)

(BB-8 MOANS)

Are the auto-cannons primed?

Primed and ready, sir.

What are we waiting for?

Fire on the base!

Punch it!

The last transport

is in the air.

The evacuation is complete.

You did it, Poe.

Now get your squad back here

so we can

get out of this place.

No, General...

POE: We can do this.

We have the chance

to take out a dreadnought.

POE: These things

are fleet killers.

We can't let it get away.

Disengage now...

LEIA: Commander.

That is an or...

Wipe that nervous expression

off your face, Threepio.

Oh. Well, I will

certainly try, General.

Nervous?

Let's go, BB-8.

It's now or never!

(BB-8 CHIRPING)

(BB-8 SHRIEKING)

POE: Yes!

(BB-8 EXCLAIMS SOFTLY)

All clear! Bring the bombs.

Captain,

Resistance bombers

approaching.

Of course they are.

Bombers, keep that

tight formation.

Fighters, protect the bombers.

It's not every day we

get a shot at a dreadnought,

so let's make this count.

Copy that, Blue Leader.

BOMBER : You get us there,

we'll give it to them.

-PILOT : Copy. We're on it.

-Fighters incoming.

Gunners, look alive.

PILOT : Snubfighters

at two-ten!

PILOT : They're coming in!

PILOT : Form up!

They're everywhere! (YELLS)

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!

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!

(GRUNTS)

(INSTRUMENTS BEEPING)

(GRUNTS)

(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?

(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)

(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.

(WHIRRING)

(EXHALES)

-You're demoted.

-What? Wait!

-We took down a dreadnought.

-At what cost?

You start an attack,

you follow it through.

Poe, get your head

out of your cockpit.

There are things

that you cannot solve

by jumping in an X-wing

and blowing something up!

I need you to learn that.

There were heroes

on that mission.

Dead heroes.

No leaders.

We're really nowhere.

How's Rey gonna find us now?

A cloaked binary beacon.

To light her way home.

All right, so until she gets

back, what's the plan?

We need to find a new base.

One with enough power

to get a distress signal

to our allies

scattered in the Outer Rim.

(ALARM SOUNDING)

Proximity alert!

They found us.

That's impossible.

POE: That's Snoke's ship.

You gotta be kidding me.

-Can we jump to lightspeed?

-CONNIX: We have enough

fuel resources

for just one jump.

Well, then, do it.

We gotta get out of here.

Wait.

They've tracked us

through lightspeed.

That's impossible.

Yes.

And they've done it.

(BB-8 MOANS DEJECTEDLY)

So if we jump

through lightspeed,

they'll just find us again

and we'll be out of fuel.

They've got us.

Not yet, they don't.

Permission to

jump in an X-wing

and blow something up?

Permission granted.

Admiral, swing us around!

ACKBAR: Full astern.

Rotate shields!

RESISTANCE MONITOR: To your

Full engines ahead.

Get out of range

of the Star Destroyers

and the fighters

will fall back.

ACKBAR: All craft,

full engines!

Concentrate rear shields.

(RESISTANCE MEMBERS

SCREAMING)

Ren, the Resistance

have pulled out of range.

We can't cover you

at this distance.

-HUX: Return to the fleet.

-(GRUNTS)

What is the point of all this

if we can't blow up

three tiny cruisers?

Well, they're faster

and lighter, sir.

They can't lose us, but they

can keep at a range

where our cannons

are ineffective

against their shields.

Well, keep up the barrage.

Let's at least remind them

that we're still here.

PEAVY: Very good, sir.

They won't last long

burning fuel like this.

It's just a matter of time.

(R-D BEEPS SADLY)

Old friend.

(R-D BEEPS DEJECTEDLY)

I wish

I could make you understand.

But I'm not coming back.

Nothing can make me

change my mind.

Years ago,

you served my father

in the Clone Wars.

Now he begs you to help him

in his struggle

against the Empire.

I regret that

I am unable to present

my father's request

to you in person...

That was a cheap move.

...but my ship

has fallen under attack,

and I'm afraid my mission

to bring you to Alderaan

has failed.

This is our most

desperate hour.

Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

You're my only hope.

(GASPS)

Tomorrow at dawn.

Three lessons.

I will teach you

the ways of the Jedi

and why they need to end.

D'ACY: General Organa,

Leia,

is unconscious but recovering.

That's the only good news

I have.

Admiral Ackbar,

all our leadership,

they're gone.

(ALL MURMURING)

D'ACY: Leia was the sole

survivor on the bridge.

C-3PO: Oh, dear. Oh, dear!

If she were here, she'd say

save your sorrow

for after the fight.

To that end,

the chain of command is clear

as to who

should take her place.

Vice Admiral Holdo

of the cruiser Ninka.

HOLDO: Thank you, Commander.

Four hundred of us

on three ships.

We're the very last

of the Resistance.

But we're not alone.

In every corner of the galaxy,

the downtrodden and oppressed

know our symbol,

and they put their hope in it.

We are the spark

that will light the fire that

will restore the Republic.

That spark,

this Resistance, must survive.

That is our mission.

Now, to your stations.

And may the Force be with us.

(INDISTINCT MURMURING)

That's Admiral Holdo?

Battle of Chyron Belt

Admiral Holdo?

(SPEAKING ALIEN DIALECT)

Not what I expected.

(SPEAKING ALIEN DIALECT)

POE: Vice Admiral?

Commander Dameron.

With our current

fuel consumption,

there's a very limited amount

of time

that we can stay out of range

of those Star Destroyers.

Very kind of you

to make me aware.

Let's get me

those fuel projections.

And we need to shake 'em

before we can find

a new base, so,

what's our plan?

Our plan, captain?

Not commander, right?

Wasn't it Leia's last official

act to demote you

for your dreadnought plan

where we lost

our entire bombing fleet?

'Captain.' 'Commander.'

You can call me

whatever you like.

I just wanna know

what's going on.

Of course you do.

I understand.

I've dealt with plenty

of trigger-happy

flyboys like you.

You're impulsive.

Dangerous.

And the last thing

we need right now.

So stick to your post

and follow my orders.

You know, I was just...

I'm Rose.

-(CHUCKLES) Okay.

-Yeah.

Look, I'm not

a Resistance hero,

but it was nice

talking to you, Rose.

May the Force be with you.

Wow. You, too.

Okay. But you are a hero.

You left the First Order,

what you did

on the Starkiller Base...

When we heard about it,

my sister Paige said,

'Rose, that's a real hero.'

'Know right from wrong

'and don't run away

Anyway, uh...

Gotta get back to

what I was doing, so...

What were you doing?

Uh, just...

I'm taking you to the brig and

turning you in for desertion.

I was not deserting.

-I told you that...

-My sister just died

protecting the fleet.

And you were running away.

I'm sorry.

But this fleet is doomed,

and if my friend comes back

to it, she's doomed, too.

I've gotta get this...

I gotta get this beacon

far away from here.

Then she'll find me

and be safe.

You're a selfish traitor.

Look, we can't outrun

the First Order fleet.

We can jump to lightspeed!

Well, they can track us

through lightspeed.

They can track us

through lightspeed?

Yeah.

They'd just show up

thirty seconds later

and we'd have

blown a ton of fuel,

which, by the way,

we're dangerously short on.

They can track us

through lightspeed.

Yes. And they could...

I can't feel my teeth.

What did you shoot me with?

Active tracking.

What now?

Hyperspace tracking

is new tech

but the principle must be the

same as any active tracker.

-They're only tracking us...

-Only tracking us...

BOTH: ...from the lead ship.

But we can't get to

the tracker.

It's an A-class process,

they'll control it

from the main bridge.

Well, I mean, yes,

but every A-class process...

BOTH: ...has a dedicated

power breaker.

But... Wait, but who knows

where the breaker room

is on a Star Destroyer?

I'm the guy that

used to mop it.

If I can get us there,

I can shut their tracker down.

Just give it to me

one more time, simpler.

So, the First Order's

only tracking us

from one Destroyer,

the lead one.

So we blow that one up?

I like

where your head's at, but no.

They'd only start tracking us

from another Destroyer.

ROSE: But if we can...

If we sneak on board

the lead Destroyer

and disable the tracker

without them realizing,

then we can...

They won't realize it's off

for one system cycle.

-About six minutes.

-FINN: Sneak on board.

Disable the tracker.

Our fleet escapes

before they realize.

Hmm.

How'd you two meet?

Just luck.

POE: Yeah?

Good luck?

Not sure yet.

Poe, we gotta do this.

It'll save the fleet

and it'll save Rey.

C-3PO: If I must be

the sole voice of reason,

Admiral Holdo will never

agree to this plan.

Yeah, you're right, Threepio.

It's a 'need-to-know' plan,

and she doesn't.

-That wasn't exactly my...

-All right,

you guys shut down

that tracker.

I'll be here to jump us

to lightspeed.

The question is,

how do we sneak the two of you

onto Snoke's Destroyer?

ROSE: We steal

clearance codes.

No, they're Bio-Hexacrypt

and rescrambled every hour.

We can't get through their

security shields undetected.

Nobody can.

Could I do it?

Of course I could do it.

But I can't do it.

I'm a little tied down

right now.

-(BLASTER FIRING)

-C-3PO: Oh!

FINN: Maz? What is happening?

to hear about it. (GRUNTS)

But, lucky for you,

that kind of security!

He's a master codebreaker,

an ace pilot,

a poet with a blaster.

It sounds like

this codebreaker fellow

can do everything.

Oh, yes, he can.

You'll find him with a red

plom bloom on his lapel

rolling at a high stakes table

in the casino on Canto Bight.

Canto Bight?

No, no. That's... Maz...

Is there any way that we can

take care of this ourselves?

Sorry, kiddo.

This is rarefied cracking.

You wanna get on

I only know one option.

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

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.

Yes, I am.

ROSE: Okay.

We get in,

we find this codebreaker,

we get out.

You know this town?

Canto Bight?

From stories.

It's a terrible place

filled with the worst people

in the galaxy.

Great.

(SPEAKING ALIEN DIALECT)

(PASSENGERS MURMURING

SLOWEN LO: I told those two,

I said,

'This is a public beach.

'You can't

park that shuttle here.'

But they just lit off

toward the casino.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Place your bets.

Place your bets.

All bets on the table

right now, right now!

Place your bets here.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(EXHALES)

FINN: Aw, yes!

This place is great!

Okay.

Maz said

this master codebreaker

would have a red plom bloom

on his lapel.

Let's find him

and get out of here.

Well played. The house wins.

(CROWD CHEERING)

FINN: What are those things?

ROSE: Fathiers.

I've never seen a real one.

Look, this whole place

is beautiful.

I mean, come on.

Why do you hate it so much?

Look closer.

ROSE: My sister and I grew up

in a poor mining system.

(ZAPPING)

ROSE: The First Order

stripped our ore

to finance their military

then shelled us

to test their weapons.

(SHOUTING IN ALIEN DIALECT)

They took everything we had.

And who do you think

these people are?

There's only one business

in the galaxy

that'll get you this rich.

War.

Selling weapons

to the First Order.

I wish

I could put my fist

through this

whole lousy, beautiful town.

(BB-8 CHIRPING EXCITEDLY)

Red plom bloom!

(GUESTS GASP)

Red plom bloom!

The master codebreaker!

Yep, those are

the shuttle parkers.

(ZAPPING)

OFFICER: All right.

You two are under arrest

for parking violation B/.

You have the right

to remain...

-What was that?

-No, no, no. Not now, lovey.

I'm on a roll.

(ALL CHEERING)

(BB-8 CHIRPS ANXIOUSLY)

(GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

(LIGHTSABER BUZZING)

LUKE: Lesson two.

Now that they're extinct,

the Jedi are romanticized,

deified.

But if you strip away the myth

and look at their deeds,

the legacy of the Jedi

is failure.

Hypocrisy, hubris.

That's not true.

At the height of their powers,

they allowed

Darth Sidious to rise

create the Empire,

and wipe them out.

It was a Jedi Master

who was responsible

for the training

and creation of Darth Vader.

And a Jedi who saved him.

Yes, the most hated man

in the galaxy.

But you saw

there was conflict inside him.

You believed

that he wasn't gone.

That he could be turned.

And I became a legend.

For many years,

there was balance

and then I saw

Ben.

My nephew

with that

mighty Skywalker blood.

And in my hubris,

I thought I could train him,

I could pass on my strengths.

Han was Han about it, but...

Leia

trusted me with her son.

I took him,

and a dozen students,

and began a training temple.

By the time I realized

I was no match for

the darkness rising in him,

it was too late.

What happened?

LUKE: I went to confront him.

And he turned on me.

Ben, no!

LUKE: He must have thought

I was dead.

When I came to,

the temple was burning.

He had vanished

with a handful of my students.

And slaughtered the rest.

Leia blamed Snoke,

but it was me.

I failed.

Because I was Luke Skywalker.

Jedi Master.

A legend.

The galaxy may need a legend.

I need someone to show me

my place in all this.

And you didn't fail Kylo.

Kylo failed you.

I won't.

The main cruiser's

still keeping beyond range.

But their medical frigate

is out of fuel

and its shields are down.

The beginning of their end.

Destroy it.

The last of our crew

has been evacuated

and heading your way.

It's been an honor, admiral.

Godspeed, Rebels!

CONNIX: Admiral,

fuel reserves at six hours.

Maintain our current course.

Steady on.

Finn,

Rose, where are you guys?

Deal me in.

Thanks.

(BB-8 MOANING SOFTLY)

ROSE: Finn, the fleet

is running on fumes.

Without a codebreaker

to break us

onto Snoke's Star Destroyer...

-(CLANGING)

-(FINN GRUNTS)

-What do we do?

-FINN: I don't know.

Unless you got a thief in

your pocket, our plan is shot.

DJ: Um, I can do it.

What?

What?

What?

DJ: S-S-Sorry, I just

couldn't help

but overhear all the stuff

that you were saying

really loudly

while I was trying to sleep.

Codebreaker?

Thief?

I can do it.

We're not talking about

picking pockets, okay?

Yeah.

D-D-Don't let the wrapper

fool you, friend.

Me and the First Order

codeage go way back.

And,

if the price is right,

I could break you into

old man S-S-Snoke's boudoir.

-No.

-We're... We got it covered.

Catoohgah.

-Did he just...

-Yeah.

We gotta get out of here!

This way!

(BB-8 CHIRPING)

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

-(FATHIER GROANING)

-(FINN SHRIEKING)

(ROSE SCREAMING)

(FINN GRUNTS)

Where'd they go?

I think we lost him!

Now we get down to the beach

and circle back around...

Cliff!

(ROSE SCREAMS)

(BOTH PANTING)

ROSE: We're trapped.

(SPEEDERS APPROACHING)

It was worth it, though.

To tear up that town,

N-N-Need a lift?

(WIND WHISTLING)

(MACHINES BEEPING)

Luke.

Leia.

I'd rather not do this now.

KYLO REN: Yeah, me, too.

Why did you hate your father?

Do you have something,

a cowl or something

you could put on?

(SIGHS)

Why did you hate your father?

Give me an honest answer.

You had a father

who loved you,

he gave a damn about you.

-I didn't hate him.

-Then why?

Why what?

Why what? Say it.

Why did you...

Why did you kill him? (SOBS)

I don't understand.

KYLO REN: No?

Your parents threw you away

like garbage.

-They didn't!

-They did.

But you can't stop

needing them.

It's your greatest weakness.

Looking for them everywhere,

in Han Solo,

now in Skywalker.

Did he tell you what happened

that night?

Yes.

No.

KYLO REN:

He had sensed my power,

as he senses yours.

And he feared it.

(LIGHTSABER ACTIVATING)

Liar.

Let the past die.

Kill it if you have to.

That's the only way to become

what you were meant to be.

No! No!

FEMALE VOICE: Rey?

(FINGERS SNAPPING)

REY: I should have felt

trapped or panicked.

But I didn't.

This didn't go on forever,

I knew

it was leading somewhere.

And that, at the end,

it would show me

what I came to see.

FEMALE VOICE: Rey.

Let me see them.

My parents,

please.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

REY: I thought

I'd find answers here.

I was wrong.

I'd never felt so alone.

You're not alone.

Neither are you.

Rey?

It isn't too late.

(BREATHING SHAKILY)

Stop!

Is it true?

Did you try to murder him?

Leave this island now!

Stop.

Stop!

(GRUNTING)

Did you do it?

Did you create Kylo Ren?

(GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

(REY SHRIEKS)

(REY GRUNTING)

-Tell me the truth.

-(LIGHTSABER DEACTIVATING)

I saw darkness.

I'd sensed it building in him.

I'd seen it in moments

during his training.

But then I looked inside,

and it was beyond

what I ever imagined.

(LIGHTSABERS CLASHING)

(DISTANT SCREAMING)

Snoke had already

turned his heart.

He would bring destruction,

and pain, and death,

and the end

of everything I love

because of

what he will become.

And for the briefest moment

of pure instinct,

-I thought I could stop it.

-(LIGHTSABER ACTIVATING)

It passed

like a fleeting shadow.

And I was left with shame,

and with consequence.

And the last thing I saw

were the eyes

of a frightened boy

whose master had failed him.

Ben, no!

You failed him by thinking

his choice was made.

It wasn't.

There's still conflict in him.

If he were turned

from the dark side,

that could shift the tide.

This could be how we win.

This is not going to go

the way you think.

It is.

Just now

when we touched hands,

I saw his future.

As solid as I'm seeing you.

If I go to him,

Ben Solo will turn.

Rey,

don't do this.

Then he's our last hope.

Master Yoda.

Young Skywalker.

I'm ending all of this.

The tree, the text, the Jedi.

I'm gonna burn it down.

Hmm.

(LAUGHING)

Ah, Skywalker.

Missed you, have I.

(GRUNTS)

So it is time

for the Jedi Order to end.

Time it is.

Hmm.

For you to look past

a pile of old books, hmm?

The sacred Jedi texts.

Oh. Read them, have you?

-Well, I...

-Page-turners

they were not.

Yes, yes, yes.

Wisdom they held,

but that library contained

nothing that the girl Rey

does not already possess.

Skywalker,

still looking to the horizon.

Never here, now, hmm?

The need

in front of your nose.

Hmm?

I was weak.

Unwise.

Lost Ben Solo, you did.

Lose Rey, we must not.

I can't be

what she needs me to be.

Heeded my words not, did you?

Pass on what you have learned.

Strength, mastery.

But weakness,

folly, failure also.

Yes, failure most of all.

The greatest teacher,

failure is.

(YODA GRUNTING)

Luke,

we are what they grow beyond.

That is the true burden

of all masters.

Four parsecs to go.

This thing really cooks.

I just hope we're in time.

You can actually do this,

right?

Yeah, about that...

Guys, I can do it.

But there exists a pre-'do it'

conversation about price.

Once we're done,

the Resistance

will give you

whatever you want.

What you got deposit-wise?

Are you kidding me?

Look at us.

Is that Haysian smelt?

That's something.

No, we gave you our word.

You're gonna get paid.

That should be enough.

DJ: Guys,

I wanna keep helping.

But no something,

n-n-no doing.

Okay, listen here,

you've got...

Do it.

Now I can help.

Give it back.

DJ: What?

FINN: Give it back!

You have no idea how much

that medallion means to her.

What are you... Why are you

ransacking your own ship?

(SIGHS)

It's not your ship.

(BB-8 CHIRPING)

He says I stole it.

-Yeah, I got that.

-We stole it.

(BB-8 CHIRPS)

At least you're stealing

from the bad guys

and helping the good.

Good guys, bad guys,

made-up words.

Let's see who formerly owned

this gorgeous hunk-uh.

Ah, this guy

was an arms dealer.

Made his bank selling weapons

to the bad guys.

Oh...

And the good.

Finn, let me learn you

something big.

It's all a machine, partner.

Live free, don't join.

That was the last

of their support ships.

It's just

their main cruiser now.

And their fuel reserve?

By our calculation,

critical.

She in there?

The admiral's banned you

from the bridge.

-Let's not have a scene.

-No, let's.

POE: Holdo?

D'ACY: You're not allowed

in here.

-Flyboy.

-Cut it, lady.

We had a fleet,

now we're down to one ship,

and you've told us nothing!

Tell us that we have a plan!

That there's hope!

When I served under Leia,

she would say,

hope is like the sun.

If you only believe in it

when you can see it...

You'll never make it

through the night.

Yes.

(POE SIGHS)

Are you fueling up

the transports?

You are.

All of them?

We're abandoning ship?

Is that...

That's what you got?

That's what you brought us to?

Coward!

Those transport ships

are unarmed, unshielded.

We abandon this cruiser,

we're done.

We don't stand a chance.

No, you are not just a coward,

you are a traitor.

Get this man off my bridge.

POE: (ON RADIO) Finn,

Holdo's loading the crew

in the shuttle.

She's going to abandon ship.

Where are you?

Poe, we're on our way

back to the fleet.

We're so close.

Did you find

the master codebreaker?

Well, we found a codebreaker.

We can shut the tracker down.

Just buy us

a little more time.

All right. Hurry.

As soon as I launch,

you jump back out of range.

Stay there

until you get my signal

for where to rendezvous.

(R-D BEEPS)

-(CHEWIE GROWLS)

-If you see Finn before I do,

tell him...

(CHEWIE GROWLS)

Yeah, perfect. Tell him that.

(CHEWIE GRUNTS)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(GASPS)

DJ: Cloaking our approach.

We should be off their scopes.

Then we slice

a slit in their shield.

Blip bloppity bloop,

and slip right through.

(BUZZING)

(BUZZING STOPS)

So a Stormtrooper

and a who now are doing what?

They are trying to save us.

This is our best chance

for escape.

You have to give Finn and Rose

all the time that you can.

You have bet the survival

of the Resistance

on bad odds

and put us all at risk.

There's no time now.

We have to get clear

of the cruiser.

Load the transports.

CREW MEMBER:

Right away, admiral.

Yeah, I was afraid

you'd say that.

-(GUNS COCKING)

-Vice Admiral Holdo,

I am relieving you

of your command

for the survival of this ship,

its crew, and the Resistance.

I hope you understand

what you're doing.

Yeah.

-I'm going to the bridge.

-(C'AI GRUNTS)

If they move, stun them.

(BB-8 CHIRPS)

We are working on it.

(BB-8 IMITATING MOUSE DROID)

(BB-8 WHIRRING CONFUSEDLY)

OFFICER : I will do

my best, sir.

(BB-E CHIRPING INQUISITIVELY)

Almost there.

You don't have to do this.

I feel the conflict in you.

It's tearing you apart.

Ben, when we touched hands,

I saw your future.

Just the shape of it,

but solid and clear.

You will not bow before Snoke.

You'll turn.

(WHISPERING) I'll help you.

I saw it.

I saw something, too.

Because of what I saw,

I know when the moment comes,

you'll be the one to turn.

You'll stand with me.

Rey,

I saw who your parents are.

Well done, my good

and faithful apprentice.

My faith in you is restored.

Young Rey.

Welcome.

(BB-8 CHIRPS)

FINN: So this is it.

The tracker's

right behind this door.

(INDISTINCT PA CHATTER)

(ZAPS)

Best conductor.

And you're welcome.

Good time to figure out

how we get back to the fleet?

I know where the nearest

POE: BB-8,

tell me something good.

(BB-8 CHIRPS)

Poe, we're almost there.

Have the cruiser

prepped for lightspeed.

Yeah, I'm on it, pal.

You just hurry.

Clear the bridge, escort the

officers down to the hangar.

C-3PO: Commander...

Captain Dameron,

Admiral Holdo

was looking for you.

Yeah, we spoke.

Sir, I am almost

afraid to ask.

Good instinct, Threepio.

Go with that.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(GUARDS EXCLAIMING)

(GRUNTS)

Seal that door!

We're running out of time.

FINN: Come on, how's it going?

Almost there.

Threepio, where do you think

you're going?

It would be quite against

my programming

-to be party to a mutiny.

-Hey!

It is not correct protocol.

Oh! Neither is this!

to make the jump!

Now or never.

-Now.

I like him.

Me, too.

Now, time to

For the transports to escape,

Too many losses.

I can't take any more.

Sure you can.

You taught me how.

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

You go on.

I've said it enough.

May the Force

We should be off their scopes.

Let's hope this works.

(HANDCUFFS BEEPING)

Come closer, child.

So much strength.

Darkness rises,

and light to meet it.

I warned my young apprentice

that as he grew stronger,

his equal

in the light would rise.

Skywalker...

(CHUCKLING) I assumed.

Wrongly.

Closer, I said.

REY: You underestimate

Skywalker,

and Ben Solo,

and me.

It will be your downfall.

(WHISPERS) Oh...

Have you seen something?

A weakness in my apprentice.

Is that why you came?

(LAUGHS)

Young fool.

It was I

who bridged your minds.

I stoked

Ren's conflicted soul.

I knew he was not strong

enough to hide it from you.

And you were not wise enough

to resist the bait.

And now,

you will give me Skywalker.

(REY BREATHING HEAVILY)

Then I will kill you

with the cruelest stroke.

No.

Yes.

(GRUNTS)

Give me

everything.

REY: No! No!

No!

(SCREAMS)

(GASPS)

No. No.

No, no, no!

LEIA: Poe.

What is that?

D'ACY: The mineral planet,

Crait.

An uncharted hideout from

the days of the Rebellion.

-That's a Rebel base?

-Abandoned,

but heavily armored

with enough power

to get a distress signal

to our allies

scattered in the Outer Rim.

LEIA: Holdo knew

the First Order

was tracking our big ship.

They're not monitoring

for little transports.

So we could slip down

to the surface unnoticed

and hide till

the First Order passes.

That could work.

She was more interested

in protecting the light

than she was

seeming like a hero.

Godspeed,

Rebels.

(ROSE GRUNTS)

Well done, Phasma.

Your ship and payment,

as we agreed.

You lying snake.

(ROSE STRUGGLING)

We got caught,

I cut a d-d-deal.

Wait,

cut a deal with what?

Sir, we checked on the

information from the thief.

We ran a decloaking scan,

and sure enough,

Resistance transports

have just launched

from the cruiser.

He told us the truth.

Will wonders never cease?

No.

Our weapons are ready?

Ready and aimed, sir.

Fire at will.

Wait. No, no. No, you can't!

No!

(PANICKED MURMURING)

PILOT: Admiral,

we're taking fire!

-Do we turn around?

-No, you're too far out.

Full speed to planetfall.

Full speed!

(GROANS)

(LAUGHING) Well, well,

I did not expect Skywalker

to be so wise.

We will give him

and the Jedi Order

the death he desires.

After the Rebels are gone,

we will go to his planet

and obliterate

the entire island.

(REY YELPING)

SNOKE: Such spunk.

Look here now.

(STRUGGLING)

SNOKE: The entire Resistance

on those transports...

Soon they will all be gone.

For you, all is lost.

Ooh. And still

that fiery spit of hope.

You have the spirit

of a true Jedi!

(GRUNTING)

And because of that,

you must die.

(STRUGGLING)

My worthy apprentice,

son of darkness,

heir apparent to Lord Vader.

Where there was conflict,

I now sense resolve.

Where there was weakness,

strength.

Complete your training,

and fulfill your destiny.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

I know what I have to do.

Ben.

(SNOKE LAUGHING)

You think you can turn him?

Pathetic child.

I cannot be betrayed,

I cannot be beaten.

I see his mind,

I see his every intent.

Yes.

I see him turning

the lightsaber to strike true.

And now,

foolish child,

he ignites it,

and kills his true enemy!

(LIGHTSABER ACTIVATING)

I want you to join me.

We can rule together and bring

Don't do this, Ben.

Please don't go this way.

No, no. You're still

Do you wanna know the truth

about your parents?

Or have you always known?

And you've just

hidden it away.

You know the truth.

Say it.

They were nobody.

They were filthy junk traders

who sold you off

They're dead in a paupers'

You come from nothing.

You're nothing.

But not to me.

(ROSE GRUNTING)

Finn!

There's a shuttle back

that way! We gotta go!

-Traitor!

-(BLASTER POWERING UP)

What?

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

(BB-8 CHIRPING)

Finn!

(ROSE YELPS)

(FINN SHOUTING)

You are a bug in the system.

Let's go, chrome dome.

(FINN GRUNTING)

Come on!

No!

Hey.

(PHASMA GROANS)

You were always scum.

Rebel scum.

(BB-8 CHIRPING)

Hey! Need a lift?

What happened?

The girl murdered Snoke.

What happened?

She took Snoke's escape craft.

We know where she's going.

Get all our forces down

to that Resistance base.

Let's finish this.

Finish this?

Who do you think

you're talking to?

You presume to

command my army?

Our Supreme Leader is dead!

We have no ruler!

(CHOKING)

The Supreme Leader is dead.

Long live the Supreme Leader.

(SPACECRAFT APPROACHING)

They're coming, shut the door.

(CREATURES WHIMPERING)

Incoming!

POE: Go! Go! Move!

Get that shield door down!

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

ROSE: No! Wait, don't shoot!

It's us!

No! Don't shoot!

Hold your fire!

FINN: Don't shoot!

POE: Hold your fire!

LEIA: Finn?

POE: Finn!

Rose! You're not dead!

Where's my droid?

(BB-8 CHIRPING EXCITEDLY)

Buddy!

-I'm so glad to see you!

-(BB-8 CHIRPING HAPPILY)

POE: Wait, what?

Wait, wait, wait, slow down.

Is this all that's left?

All right, shields are up

so they can't hit us

from orbit.

Use whatever power

we've got left

to broadcast a distress signal

to the Outer Rim.

Use my personal code.

If there are any allies

to the Resistance,

it's now or never.

Rose, what do you got?

Rotting munitions,

rusted artillery,

some half-gutted

skim speeders.

Well,

let's just pray

that big-ass door

holds long enough for us

to get help.

(DISTANT RUMBLING)

(CREATURES BARKING)

FINN: A battering ram cannon.

A what now?

Miniaturized Death Star tech.

It'll crack that door open

like an egg.

There has to be a back way

out of here, right?

(BB-8 CHIRPING)

POE: BB-8, what do you got?

C-3PO: BB-8 has analyzed

the mine's schematics.

This is the only way

in or out.

(DISTANT RUMBLING)

(WALLS CREAKING)

Come on.

We have allies.

People believe in Leia.

They'll get our message,

they'll come.

But we have to buy time.

We gotta take out that cannon.

SOLDIER : On me! On me!

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

SOLDIER : Move! Move!

Go back! Gather your weapons!

SOLDIER : Get over here!

SOLDIER : Hold your fire!

Salt.

SOLDIER : Ground forces,

incoming.

POE: (ON RADIO) Copy that.

On our way.

Engage your mono-ski.

The green toggle.

(GRUNTS)

All right, listen up.

I don't like

these rust buckets

and I don't like our odds,

but...

What the hell?

Just keep it tight

and don't get drawn in

too close

till they roll that cannon

out front.

All right, ground forces,

lay down some fire!

Thirteen incoming light craft.

Shall we hold

until we clear them?

No. The Resistance

is in that mine.

Push through.

Fighters, break off!

Come on! We gotta hold them

till they pull up that cannon!

(SPEAKING ALIEN DIALECT)

(SOLDIERS GROANING)

Rose, you got three

right behind you!

I can't lose 'em!

Whoo! Yeah!

(CHEWIE GROWLS)

(PORG GROWLS)

Whoo! I like this!

Blow that piece of junk

out of the sky!

All fighters!

Chewie, peel off

from the battle.

Draw them away

from the speeders.

(CHEWIE GROWLS)

She drew 'em off! All of 'em!

Oh, they hate that ship!

(PORG CHIRPING)

Chewie!

(CHEWIE GROWLS)

(PORG CRYING)

(CHEWIE GROWLS)

(SCREAMS)

There it is!

That is a big gun.

FINN: Okay,

it's heavily armored.

Our only shot

is right down the throat.

The cannon's opening.

This is our chance.

All firepower

on those speeders.

Concentrate all fire

on the speeders!

We're taking heavy losses.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

(SCREAMS)

(YELPS)

They're picking us all off.

We're not gonna make it.

FINN: All right,

making my final approach.

Target in sight, guns are hot.

No! Pull off!

What?

The cannon is charged!

It's a suicide run!

All craft, pull away!

-No! I'm almost there!

-POE: Retreat, Finn!

That's an order!

Finn? It's too late!

Don't do this!

No! I won't let them win!

No! Finn, listen to Poe!

We have to retreat!

MALE SCOUT: (ON RADIO)

The cannon is warming up now.

MALE COMMANDER: (ON RADIO)

Copy that. We see it.

MALE SCOUT: Preparing to fire.

(SPEEDER RATTLING)

(BLAST FIRING)

Move! Go, go! Quick!

SOLDIER : Let's go, let's go!

(GRUNTING)

Rose?

Rose?

Rose?

Why would you do that? Huh?

I was almost there.

Why would you stop me?

I saved you,

dummy.

That's how we're gonna win.

Not fighting what we hate,

saving what we love.

KYLO REN: General Hux,

advance.

No quarter.

No prisoners.

Our distress signal's been

received at multiple points,

but no response.

They've heard us,

but no one's coming.

We fought till the end.

But the galaxy

has lost all its hope.

The spark

is out.

Luke.

I know what you're gonna say.

I changed my hair.

It's nice that way.

Leia,

I'm sorry.

I know.

I know you are.

I'm just glad you're here

at the end.

I came to face him, Leia.

And I can't save him.

I held out hope for so long,

but I know my son is gone.

No one's ever really gone.

C-3PO: Master Luke.

Stop!

(MACHINERY CREAKING)

I want every gun we have

to fire on that man.

Do it.

More!

More!

That's enough.

(SHOUTING) That's enough!

(GUNS DEACTIVATING)

Do you think you got him?

Now, if we're ready

to get moving,

we can finish this.

Sir?

(EXHALES SHAKILY)

Bring me down to him.

Keep the door covered

and don't advance until I say.

Supreme Leader,

don't get distracted,

our goal...

(HUX YELPS)

Right away, sir.

Med pack!

I need a med pack!

She's hurt pretty bad.

It's Kylo Ren.

Luke's facing him alone.

Well, we should help him.

Let's go.

No, wait. Wait.

Did you come back to say

you forgive me?

To save my soul?

No.

He's doing this for a reason.

He's stalling

so we can escape.

Escape?

He's one man against an army.

We have to help him,

we have to fight.

No, no. We are the spark

that'll light the fire

that'll burn

the First Order down.

Skywalker's doing this

so we can survive.

There's gotta be a way

out of this mine.

Hell, how did he get in here?

Sir, it is possible

that a natural unmapped

opening exists.

But this facility is such

a maze of endless tunnels

that the odds

of finding an exit

-are ,...

-Shh. Shush. Hush. Shush up.

Shut up!

-To one.

-Listen.

C-3PO: My audio sensors

no longer detect the...

POE: Exactly.

Where'd the

crystal critters go?

(CREATURE WHIMPERING)

Follow me.

What are you

looking at me for?

Follow him.

(BEACON PULSATING RAPIDLY)

If the beacon's

right beneath us,

they've got to be somewhere.

Keep scanning for life forms.

(BEACON PULSATING RAPIDLY)

This way.

(PORG CHITTERING)

I see them! Chewie, there!

(CREATURES YIPPING)

(CREATURE WHINING)

No. No, no, no.

No!

(CREATURES BARKING)

Lifting rocks.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(KYLO REN GRUNTING)

(LIGHTSABER CRACKLING)

(GRUNTING)

I failed you, Ben.

-I'm sorry.

-I'm sure you are!

The Resistance is dead.

The war is over.

And when I kill you,

I will have killed

the last Jedi.

Amazing.

Every word

of what you just said

was wrong.

The Rebellion is reborn today.

The war

is just beginning.

And I will not be

the last Jedi.

I'll destroy her,

and you,

and all of it.

No.

Strike me down in anger

and I'll always be with you.

Just like your father.

(LIGHTSABER CRACKLING)

(GRUNTS)

(SCREAMING)

No.

See you around, kid.

No!

(GRUNTS)

(DOOR CLOSING)

-(C'AI LAUGHS)

-C'ai!

-C-3PO: Such a friend.

-(R-D BLEEPS)

-(CHEWIE GROWLS)

-Chewie!

(BB-8 CHIRPS INQUISITIVELY)

-It looks good.

-(BB-8 CHIRPS)

CONNIX: That was crazy, man.

-POE: Hi.

-Hi.

I'm Poe.

Rey.

I know.

D'ACY: When we get to

the Outer Rim,

I have a contact there.

C-3PO: Quite definitely

possible.

Luke is gone.

I felt it.

But it wasn't sadness or pain.

It was peace and purpose.

I felt it, too.

How do we build a Rebellion

from this?

We have everything we need.
