Ducain, Finn and Rose infiltrate Snoke’s Star Destroyer. Finn is nearly recognized. BB8 begins searching the ship’s database for where Leia is being held. Stormtroopers arrest the trio.
Rey has a nightmare. Luke is awake looking at the sky. Rey confesses she can not kill Kylo Ren. Luke is surprised but does not try to convince her either way. Rey tells Luke she can feel his thoughts. She has for a while. She tells Luke she thinks he’s coming.
On Mustafar Kylo Ren meets with his Knights. They are all selecting weapons and sparring. Kylo addresses them, telling them that Luke is a more formidable opponent than any they have ever faced. He warns them. "They know we’re coming"
Rose and Ducain wait in a cell. Finn is held captive and his mind "downloaded", revealing the secret of the hidden base. Phasma reports this to Hux who mobilizes the First Order Navy.
In the cell, Rose realizes how the door works and causes it to short circuit. She and Ducain break out and meet up with BB8.
Luke sits on a rock overlooking the sea. The sky grows darker. A storm brews in the distance. Rey and Luke have a conversation about the Force. Luke is the most peaceful he’s been since Rey arrived. Rey asks Luke why he went away.
On Crait Holdo is alerted the First Order has arrived. Deflector shields hold against an areal assault but a ground invasion begins. Walkers are spotted on the horizon. Holdo panics and orders an evacuation. Poe convinces her they’d all be killed in the event of an evacuation. Holdo finally surrenders control to Poe and asks what they should do. Poe has an idea.
A bomb goes off in a corridor drawing Stormtrooper attention. Ducain and Rose bust Finn out. They meet back up with BB8 and are told where Leia is being held.
Luke warns Rey that whatever connection she has with Kylo Ren is not a good one. He tells her when he arrives he will try to kill her, and she would do well to preserve her life by killing him. Rey confesses to Luke her parents traded her for a ship to escape Jakku. She asks how she can possibly kill the person she’s dreamt about since she was a child. The only human she’d ever had a connection with.
Luke has no answer.
Poe addresses the pilots of the Resistance telling them they are going to use the old mineral hauling vehicles as a weapon.
The vehicles fly out and drop the dense mineral on top of the walkers, causing them to plummet. The evacuation transports go to light speed inside the atmosphere. Poe escapes on the last one. Holdo dies when a transport is shot down by a Star Destroyer.
Finn, Rose, and Ducain all make their way to Leia’s cell. Snoke orders Leia’s cell gassed.
A fleet of TIE fighters approach on the horizon. Luke asks Rey if she is ready.
Rose breaks into the database and sees Leia’s cell is being poisoned. She frantically tries to stop it.
It rains again. Kylo Ren and his Knights stand before Luke. Kylo Ren declares this is the day the Jedi end.
Luke closes his eyes. Lightning strikes at the feet of the closest Knight. He flies into the darkness off the cliff.
Kylo is not phased. The Knights are clearly shaken.
Rey appears. Kylo declares she is his and they fight. Luke sends lightning from the sky to another Knight, and then draws his lightsaber.
Kylo Ren and Rey duel but neither is trying to kill the other. They both feel the connection flowing back and forth. Kylo Ren disarms Rey and after asking who she is angrily as she clings to a cliff for dear life, is swarmed by the birds. Rey pulls herself up and Kylo Ren stands ready to fight both Luke and Rey. Reybegins hearing the voices of the birds. Before Kylo Ren and Luke can fight, she screams out for them not to.
Finn, Rose, and Ducain arrive at Leia’s cell but can not open it in time. As gas begins to leak out of the bottom, Ducain convinces the group to leave. They steal a shuttle.

There is a funeral on an earth like planet. Luke stands by Rey but Rey leaves the procession. Luke tells Finn and Poe not to go after her. He asks Maz Kanata if she is sure about this.
Rey retreats down an alley. Kylo Ren stands there.
She demands he get out of her head.
He demands the same.
Rey says she doesn’t know what’s going on. She embraces Kylo. Kylo says he does not either, but he promises he will kill Snoke.

Snoke summons General Hux. He tells him it’s time he lived up to his family name, crafts a lightsaber, and gives it to Hux. Hux lights it up. It’s BLACK.
??? As we know from Empire’s End, his dad Brendol Hux was a cowardly politician and he’s the result of an affair his father had with a kitchen maid.
Kylo’s a spiritualist. Hux is a technocrat. Oil and water. He acts as Kylo’s foil.

ACT IV
Snoke stirs in his modular space coffin. Its uncomfortable sleeping alone for the first time without watching a hologram of Kylo. He makes a blue milk tea and force paints some figurines in his miniature Geonosis vs Jedi diorama.
At Leia’s funeral, Luke delivers a long and ultimately confusing metaphor filled speech about the bonds between brother and sister. Finn falls asleep- inadvertently reactivating his Stormtrooper profile. He wakes up with a bewildering yet evil smirk as he sees Luke.
Maz polishes her goggles as she’s being driven back to her ship in a space pedicab. She sees Kylo and Rey entering a clothing store and follows them. She does not tip her driver- who looks like Kit Fisto but yellow with a gladiator haircut in front of his head tentacles.
Chewbacca hears Han’s voice while comforting a crying Luke. Finn tries to arrest Luke at gunpoint but Luke has foreseen this and tells Finn that. Finn realizes he’s holding a banana. Luke then shocks him with green force lightning, knocking Finn’s spinal implant out of his body and into a wall where it detonates. Chaos reigns.
Hux hanglides in in the midst of chaos, riding in a mech suit that has a huge First Order Nazi uniform on. The mech ignites the blacksaber of belarius.
The explosion from Finn’s neck bomb medical tech causes Rey and Kylo to bump into each other. They awkwardly exchange apologies (oh they’re in undertunics now too) and then decide to go for it and kiss. Maz screams, breaking it up. Kylo reaches for his lightsaber but Rey stops him. Kylo blurts out "We have to kill Snoke…" for no reason.
Chewbacca uses his laser slingshot to distract Hux. Luke waits for his force lightning ability to recharge. The blacksaber cuts the laser slingshot’s force field rubber band and part of Chewie’s wrist. The Wookie yowls in pain- Luke does too because he’s very sensitive now with his sister being dead and Han too. And his dad and Obi Wan and Rey left him. Hux rages with glee then is crushed into a cube the size of a thimble. Chewie looks to Luke who looks back at Chewie like "I ain’t did that."
Then we hear a familiar voice cackling…
"Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.."
A black cloaked figure with metal rocket legs hovering him 10 inches off the ground.
Helicopter shot around The Black Cloaked Figure and Luke for 15 seconds.
