This is not so great fanfiction.
But it's better than most so B+
True.
This board also needs a "like" system so I can like quality posts like this one.
There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around
That the colt from old Regret had got away,
And had joined the wild bush horses - he was worth a thousand pound,
So all the cracks had gathered to the fray.
All the tried and noted riders from the stations near and far
Had mustered at the homestead overnight,
For the bushmen love hard riding where the wild bush horses are,
And the stock-horse snuffs the battle with delight.
There was Harrison, who made his pile when Pardon won the cup,
The old man with his hair as white as snow;
But few could ride beside him when his blood was fairly up-
He would go wherever horse and man could go.
And Clancy of the Overflow came down to lend a hand,
No better horseman ever held the reins;
For never horse could throw him while the saddle girths would stand,
He learnt to ride while droving on the plains.
And one was there, a stripling on a small and weedy beast,
He was something like a racehorse undersized,
With a touch of Timor pony - three parts thoroughbred at least -
And such as are by mountain horsemen prized.
He was hard and tough and wiry - just the sort that won't say die -
There was courage in his quick impatient tread;
And he bore the badge of gameness in his bright and fiery eye,
And the proud and lofty carriage of his head.
But so slight and weedy, one would doubt his power to stay,
And the old man said, "That horse will never do
For a long and tiring gallop-lad, you'd better stop away,
Those hills are far too rough for such as you."
So he waited sad and wistful - only Clancy stood his friend -
"I think we ought to let him come," he said;
"I warrant he'll be with us when he's wanted at the end,
For both his horse and he are mountain bred."
"He hails from Snowy River, up by Kosciusko's side,
Where the hills are twice as steep and twice as rough,
Where a horse's hoofs strike firelight from the flint stones every stride,
The man that holds his own is good enough.
And the Snowy River riders on the mountains make their home,
Where the river runs those giant hills between;
I have seen full many horsemen since I first commenced to roam,
But nowhere yet such horsemen have I seen."
So he went - they found the horses by the big mimosa clump -
They raced away towards the mountain's brow,
And the old man gave his orders, "Boys, go at them from the jump,
No use to try for fancy riding now.
And, Clancy, you must wheel them, try and wheel them to the right.
Ride boldly, lad, and never fear the spills,
For never yet was rider that could keep the mob in sight,
If once they gain the shelter of those hills."
So Clancy rode to wheel them - he was racing on the wing
Where the best and boldest riders take their place,
And he raced his stockhorse past them, and he made the ranges ring
With stockwhip, as he met them face to face.
Then they halted for a moment, while he swung the dreaded lash,
But they saw their well-loved mountain full in view,
And they charged beneath the stockwhip with a sharp and sudden dash,
And off into the mountain scrub they flew.
Then fast the horsemen followed, where the gorges deep and black
Resounded to the thunder of their tread,
And the stockwhips woke the echoes, and they fiercely answered back
From cliffs and crags that beetled overhead.
And upward, ever upward, the wild horses held their sway,
Were mountain ash and kurrajong grew wide;
And the old man muttered fiercely, "We may bid the mob good day,
No man can hold them down the other side."
When they reached the mountain's summit, even Clancy took a pull,
It well might make the boldest hold their breath,
The wild hop scrub grew thickly, and the hidden ground was full
Of wombat holes, and any slip was death.
But the man from Snowy River let the pony have his head,
And he swung his stockwhip round and gave a cheer,
And he raced him down the mountain like a torrent down its bed,
While the others stood and watched in very fear.
He sent the flint stones flying, but the pony kept his feet,
He cleared the fallen timbers in his stride,
And the man from Snowy River never shifted in his seat -
It was grand to see that mountain horseman ride.
Through the stringybarks and saplings, on the rough and broken ground,
Down the hillside at a racing pace he went;
And he never drew the bridle till he landed safe and sound,
At the bottom of that terrible descent.
He was right among the horses as they climbed the further hill
And the watchers on the mountain standing mute,
Saw him ply the stockwhip fiercely, he was right among them still,
As he raced across the clearing in pursuit.
Then they lost him for a moment, where two mountain gullies met
In the ranges, but a final glimpse reveals
On a dim and distant hillside the wild horses racing yet,
With the man from Snowy River at their heels.
And he ran them single-handed till their sides were white with foam.
He followed like a bloodhound in their track,
Till they halted cowed and beaten, then he turned their heads for home,
And alone and unassisted brought them back.
But his hardy mountain pony he could scarcely raise a trot,
He was blood from hip to shoulder from the spur;
But his pluck was still undaunted, and his courage fiery hot,
For never yet was mountain horse a cur.
And down by Kosciusko, where the pine-clad ridges raise
Their torn and rugged battlements on high,
Where the air is clear as crystal, and the white stars fairly blaze
At midnight in the cold and frosty sky,
And where around The Overflow the reed beds sweep and sway
To the breezes, and the rolling plains are wide,
The man from Snowy River is a household word today,
And the stockmen tell the story of his ride.

God Star Wars names are so stupid when you see them typed out.AMILYN HOLDO: What was that?
KAYDEL KO CONNIX: Nothing, Admiral. Passing debris.
FINN: The fleet's only got 18 hours of fuel left. We gotta hurry.
REY: Still can't reach the Resistance? Keep at it. If you get through, check their status. And ask about Finn.
KYLO REN: Why is the Force connecting us? You and I.
REY: Murderous snake. You're too late. You lost. I found Skywalker.
KYLO REN: Did he tell you what happened? The night I destroyed his temple, did he tell you why?
REY: I know everything I need to know about you.
KYLO REN: You do? Ah, you do. You have that look in your eyes. From the forest. When you called me a monster.
REY: You are a monster.
KYLO REN: Yes, I am.
ROSE: OK. We get in, we find this codebreaker, we get out.
FINN: Do you know this town? Canto Bight?
ROSE: From stories. It's a terrible place filled with the worst people in the galaxy.
FINN: Great.
SLOWEN LO: I told those two, I said, "This is a public beach. You can't park that shuttle." But they just lit off toward the casino.
THAMM: Place your bets. Place your bets. All the bets on the table right now, right now! Place your bets here.
FINN: Aw, yes! This place is great!
ROSE: OK. Maz says that this Master Codebreaker would have a red plom bloom on his lapel. Let's find him and get out of here.
THAMM: Well played. The house wins. Where are your manners, more like?
ROSE: Come on!
FINN: We've covered this whole casino. Zero red plom blooms. Where is this guy?
ROSE: Were those what I think they are?
FINN: What are those things?
ROSE: Fathiers. I've never seen a real one.
FINN: Look, this whole place is beautiful. I mean, come on. Why do you hate it so much?
ROSE: Look closer. My sister and I grew up in a poor mining system. The First Order stripped our ore to finance its military.... then shelled us to test their weapons. 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.
FINN: War.
ROSE: Selling weapons to the First Order. I wish I could put my fist through this whole lousy, beautiful town. Red plom bloom!
FINN: Red plom bloom!
ROSE: The Master Codebreaker!
SLOWEN LO: Yup, those are the shuttle parkers.
COP: All right, You two are under arrest for parking violation 27B/6. You have the right to remain....
LOVEY: What was that?
MASTER CODEBREAKER: No, no, no. Not now, Lovey. I'm on a roll.
LUKE: Lesson Two. Now that they're extinct, the Jedi are romanticized, defied. But if you strip away the myth and look at their deeds, the legacy of the Jedi is failure. Hypocrisy, hubris.
REY: That's not true.
LUKE: 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.
REY: And a Jedi who saved him. Yes, the most hated man in the galaxy. But you saw that there was conflict inside him. You believed that he wasn't gone. That he could be turned.
LUKE: 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.
REY: What happened?
LUKE: I went to confront him. And he turned on me. Ben, no! 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.
REY: 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.
PEAVEY: The main cruiser's still keeping beyond range. But their medical frigate is out of fuel and its shields are down.
ARMITAGE HUX: The beginning of their end. Destroy it.
MEDICAL FRIGATE PILOT: The last of our crew has been evacuated and heading your way. It's been an honor, Admiral. Godspeed, Rebels!
KAYDEL KO CONNIX: Admiral, fuel reserves at six hours.
AMILYN HOLDO: Maintain our current course. Steady on.
POE: Finn, Rose, where are you guys?
COP: Deal me in. Thanks.
ROSE: Finn, the fleet is running on fumes. Without a codebreaker to break us onto Snoke's Star Destroyer.... 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.
ROSE: What?
FINN: What?
ROSE: What?
DJ: S-S-S-Sorry, I'm just couldn't help but overhear all the stuff that you were saying really loudly while I trying to sleep. Codebreaker? Thief? I can do it.
FINN: I'm not talking about picking pockets, OK?
DJ: Yeah. D-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-S-Snoke's boudoir.
FINN: No.
ROSE: We're.... We've got it covered.
DJ: Ha-tuk-ga.
FINN: Did he just....?
ROSE: Yeah. We gotta get outta here! This way!
COP: Why, you little....
DJ: D-D-D-Did you do this?
COP: Hey, hands up! Hands up!
DJ: Yeah, man. What's your story, roundie?
COP #1: They went this way! Lock down all the exits.
COP #2: Wait.
FINN: That smells great. Those cops will be here any minute. What now? Whoa! Ooh!
ROSE: No, wait. Please stop! We're with the Resistance.
COP #1: Roger that. Checking the stables now.
COP #2: This way.
COP #3: They must have come through here.
ROSE: Hyah!
TEMIRI BLAGG - Go, go, go! Whoo!
FINN: Stop enjoying this, stop enjoying this!
SPEEDER PILOT: We've got them. They aren't going anywhere.
FINN AND ROSE: Ahhhh!
FINN: Huh?
ROSE: Move, move, move! Get outta the way!
FINN: Our ship's on the beach straight ahead! We need cover! Too much cover! There it is!
FINN AND ROSE: No!
FINN: Come on!
SPEEDER PILOT: Let the flock go. Stick with the perps. Where'd they go?
FINN: I think we lost them! Now we go down to the beach and circle back around....
ROSE: Cliff! We're trapped.
FINN: It was worth it, though. To tear up that town, make 'em hurt.
ROSE: Go. Now, it's worth it.
SPEEDER PILOT: There they are.
FINN: BB-8! Wait, are you flying that thing?
DJ: N-N-N-Need a lift?
LEIA: Luke.
LUKE: Leia.
REY: I'd rather not do this now.
KYLO REN: Yeah, me too.
REY: Why did you hate your father? Do you have something, a cowl or something you can put on? Why did you hate your father? Give me an honest answer. You had a father who loved you, he gave a damn about you.
KYLO REN: I didn't hate him.
REY: Then why?
KYLO REN: Why, what? Why, what? Say it.
REY: Why did you... Why did you kill him? I don't understand.
KYLO REN: No? Your parents threw you away like garbage.
REY: They didn't!
KYLO REN: 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?
REY: Yes.
KYLO REN: No. He had sensed my power, as he senses yours. And he feared it.
REY: Liar.
KYLO REN: Let the past die. Kill it if you have to. That's the only way to become what you were meant to be.
REY: No! No!
FEMALE VOICE: Rey?
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.
REY: Let me see them. My parents... please. I thought I'd find answers here. I was wrong. I've never felt so alone KYLO REN: You're not alone.
REY: Neither are you.
LUKE: Rey?
REY: It isn't too late.
LUKE: Stop!
REY: It is true? Did you try to murder him?
LUKE: Leave this island now!
REY: Stop. Stop! Did you do it? Did you create Kylo Ren? Tell me the truth.
LUKE: I saw darkness. I'd sensed it building in him. I'd see it at moments during his training. But then I looked inside... and it was beyond what I ever imagined. 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. 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!
REY: You failed him by thinking his choice was made It wasn't There is still conflict in him If he turned from the dark side, that could shift the tide. This could be how we win.
LUKE: This is not going to go the way you think.
REY: 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.
LUKE: Rey... don't do this.
REY: Then he is our last hope.
LUKE: Master Yoda.
YODA: Young Skywalker.
LUKE: I'm ending all of this. The tree, the text, the Jedi. I'm going to burn it down.
YODA: Hmm. (laughs) Ah, Skywalker, missed you, have I.
LUKE: So it is time for the Jedi Order to end.
YODA: Time it is. For you to look at a pile of old books, hmmm?
LUKE: The sacred Jedi texts.
YODA: Oh. Read them, have you?
LUKE: Well, I...
YODA: 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, hmmm? (pokes Luke with his walking stick) The need in front of your nose. Hmmm?
LUKE: I was weak. Unwise.
YODA: Lost Ben Solo, you did. Lose Rey, we must not.
LUKE: I can't be what she needs me to be.
YODA: Heeded my words not, did you? Pass on what you have learned. Strength, mastery. But weakness, folly, falure, also. Yes, failure most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is. Luke, we are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters.
FINN: Four parsecs to go. This thing really cooks.
ROSE: I just hope we're in time. You can actually do this, right?
DJ: Yeah, about that... Guys, I can do it. But there exists a pre-"do it" conversation about price.
ROSE: Once we're done, the Resistance will give you whatever you want.
DJ: What you got deposit-wise?
FINN: Are you kidding me? Look at us.
DJ: Is that Haysian smelt? That's something.
FINN: 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-n-no doing.
FINN: OK, listen here, you've gotta....
ROSE: Do it.
DJ: Now I can help.
FINN: 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? It's not your ship.
DJ: He says I stole it.
FINN: Yeah, I got that.
DJ: We stole it.
FINN: At least you're stealing from the bad guys and helping the good.
DJ: Good guys, bad guys, made-up words. Let's see who formally 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.
PEAVEY: That was the last of their support ships. It's just their main cruiser now.
ARMITAGE HUX: And their fuel reserve?
PEAVEY: By our calculations.... critical.
POE: She in there?
LARMA D'ACY: The Admiral's banned you from the bridge. Let's not have a scene.
POE: No, let's. Holdo?
LARMA: You're not allowed in here.
HOLDO: Flyboy.
POE: 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!
HOLDO: When I served under Leia, she would say, hope is like the sun. If you only believe in it when you can see it....
POE: You'll never make it through the night.
HOLDO: Yes.
POE: 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 transports 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.
HOLDO: Get this man off my bridge.
POE: Finn, Holdo's loading the crew in the shuttles. She's going to abandon ship. Where are you?
FINN: Poe, we're on our way back to the fleet. We're so close.
POE: Did you find the Master Codebreaker?
FINN: We found a codebreaker. We can shut the tracker down. Just buy us a little more time.
POE: All right, hurry.
REY: As soon as I launch, you jump back out of range. Stay there until you get my signal for where to rendezvous. If you see Finn before I do, tell him... Yeah, perfect. Tell him that.
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.
AMILYN HOLDO: So a stormtrooper, and a who now are doing what?
POE: 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.
AMILYN HOLDO: 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.
POE: Yeah, I was afraid you'd say that. Vice Admiral Holdo, I am relieving you of your command for the survival of this ship, its crew, and the Resistance.
AMILYN HOLDO: I hope you understand what you're doing.
POE: Yeah. I'm going to the bridge. If they move, stun them.
OFFICER #1: ....at least three cycles so far.
OFFICER #2: Yes, sir. We're working on it.
OFFICER #3: I will do my best, sir.
FINN: Almost there.
REY: 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 will turn. I'll help you. I saw it.
KYLO REN: 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.
SNOKE: Well done, my good and faithful apprentice. My faith in you is restored. Young Rey. Welcome.
FINN: So this is it? The tracker's right behind this door.
DJ: Haysian smelt. Best conductor. And you're welcome.
ROSE: Good time to figure out how to get back to the fleet?
FINN: I know where the nearest escape pods are.
ROSE: Course you do.
POE: BB-8, tell me something good.
FINN: Poe, we're almost there. Have the cruiser prepped for lightspeed.
POE: 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.
POE: Yeah, we spoke.
C-3PO: Sir, I am almost afraid to ask.
POE: Good instinct, 3PO. Go with that. Seal that door!
ROSE: We're running out of time.
FINN: Come on, how's it going?
DJ: Almost there.
POE: 3PO, where do you think you're going?
C-3PO: It would be quite against my programming to be party to a mutiny.
POE: Hey!
C-3PO: It is not correct protocol. Oh! Neither is this!
POE: Finn? We're ready to make the jump.
FINN: Now or never.
DJ: Now.
FINN: You're up.
STORMTROOPER #1: You there, hands up!
STORMTROOPER #2: Watch 'em, watch 'em.
STORMTROOPER #3: Drop your weapons, now!
STORMTROOPER #4: Hands up, Rebel scum.
STORMTROOPER #3: Get down! I said, down!
PHASMA: FN-2187. So good to have you back.
POE: They didn't make it. Leia.
ANNOUNCER: Please board the transports according to your evacuation designation. All transports must be cleared....
GURNEY OPERATOR: OK, help me push him up, guys.
AMILYN HOLDO: That one's a troublemaker. I like him.
LEIA: Me, too. Now, time to board your transport.
AMILYN HOLDO: For the transports to escape, someone needs to stay behind and pilot the cruiser.
LEIA: Too many losses. I can't take anymore.
AMILYN HOLDO: Sure you can. You taught me how.
LEIA AND AMILYN HOLDO: May the Force be....
LEIA: You go on. I've said it enough.
AMILYN HOLDO: May the Force be with you always.
PILOT: Cloaking device activated. We should be off their scopes.
LARMA D'ACY: Let's hope this works.
SNOKE: 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.... I assumed. Wrongly. Closer, I said.
REY: You underestimate Skywalker, and Ben Solo, and me. It will be your downfall.
SNOKE: Oh.... have you seen something? A weakness in my apprentice. Is that why you came? 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. Then I will kill you with the cruelest stroke.
REY: No.
SNOKE: Yes. Give me everything.
REY: No! No! No!
POE: No. No. No, no, no!
LEIA: Poe.
POE: What is that?
LARMA D'ACY: The mineral planet, Crait. An uncharted hideout from the days of the Rebellion.
POE: That's a Rebel base?
LARMA D'ACY: 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.
POE: So we could slip down to the surface unnoticed and hide till the First Order passes. That could work.
LEIA: She was more interested in protecting the light than she was seeming like a hero.
AMILYN HOLDO: Godspeed, Rebels.
ARMITAGE HUX: Well done, Phasma.
PHASMA: Your ship and payment, as we agreed.
ROSE: You lying snake.
DJ: We got caught, I cut a d-d-d-deal.
FINN: Wait, cut a deal with what?
FIRST ORDER OFFICER: Sir, we checked on the information from the thief. We ran a decloaking scan, and sure enough, 30 Resistance transports have just launched from the cruiser.
ARMITAGE HUX: He told us the truth. Will wonders never cease?
ROSE: No.
ARMITAGE HUX: Our weapons are ready?
FIRST ORDER OFFICER: Ready and aimed, sir.
ARMITAGE HUX: Fire at will.
FINN: Wait. No, no. No, you can't!
ROSE: No!
PILOT: Admiral, we're taking fire! Do we turn around?
AMILYN HOLDO: No, you're too far out. Full speed to planetfall. Full speed!
SNOKE: 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. Such spunk. Look here now. 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! And because of that, you must die. 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.
KYLO REN: I know what I have to do.
REY: Ben.
SNOKE: 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!
POE: Come on, give it full thrusters. Full speed!
COVA NELL: I am, sir.
FINN: You murdering bastard!
DJ: T-T-T-Take it easy, Big F. They blow you up today, you blow them up tomorrow. It's just business.
FINN: You're wrong.
DJ: Maybe.
REY: Ben! The fleet. Order them to stop firing. There's still time to save the fleet. Ben?
KYLO REN: It's time to let old things die. Snoke, Skywalker. The Sith, the Jedi, the Rebels.... let it all die. Rey. I want you to join me. We can rule together and bring a new order to the galaxy.
REY: Don't do this, Ben. Please don't go this way.
KYLO REN: No, no. You're still holding on! Let go! 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. Say it.
REY: They were nobody.
KYLO REN: They were filthy junk traders who sold you off for drinking money. They're dead in a paupers' grave in the Jakku desert. You have no place in this story. You come from nothing. You're nothing. But not to me. Join me. Please.
FIRST ORDER OFFICER: Sir, the Resistance cruiser's preparing to jump to lightspeed.
ARMITAGE HUX: It's empty. They're just trying to pull our attention away. Pathetic. Keep your fire on the transports.
PHASMA: Execution by blaster is too good for them. Let's make this hurt.
ROSE: Finn.
PHASMA: On my command.
KAYDEL KO CONNIX: She's running away.
POE: No, she isn't.
EDRISON PEAVEY: No!
ARMITAGE HUX: Fire on that cruiser!
PHASMA: Execute.
ROSE: Finn! There's a shuttle back that way! We gotta go!
PHASMA: Traitor! What?
ROSE: Finn!
PHASMA: You are a bug in the system.
FINN: Let's go, chrome-dome. Come on!
ROSE: No!
FINN: Hey.
PHASMA: You were always scum.
FINN: Rebel scum.
ROSE: Hey! Need a lift?
ARMITAGE HUX: What happened?
KYLO REN: The girl murdered Snoke. What happened?
ARMITAGE HUX: She took Snoke's escape craft.
KYLO REN: We know where she's going. Get all our forces down to that Resistance base. Let's finish this.
ARMITAGE HUX: Finish this? Who do you think you're talking to? You presumed to command my army? Our Supreme Leader is dead! We have no ruler!
KYLO REN: The Supreme Leader is dead.
ARMITAGE HUX: Long live the Supreme Leader.
LEIA: They're coming, shut the door.
RESISTANCE SOLDIER: Incoming!
POE: Go, go, move! Get that shield door down!
ROSE: No! Wait, don't shoot! It's us! No, don't shoot!
POE: Hold your fire!
FINN: Don't shoot!
POE: Hold your fire!
LEIA: Finn?
POE: Finn! Rose! You're not dead! Where's my droid? Buddy! I'm so glad to see you! Wait, what? Wait, wait, wait, slow down.
ROSE: Is this all that's left?
POE: All right, our 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.
LEIA: Use my personal code. If there are any allies to the Resistance, it's now or never.
POE: Rose, what do you got?
ROSE: Rotting munitions, rusted artillery, some half-gutted skim speeders.
POE: Well, let's just pray that big-ass door holds long enough for us to get help.
FINN: A battering ram cannon.
POE: A what now?
FINN: Miniaturized Death Star tech. It'll crack that door open like an egg.
ROSE: There has to be a back way out of here, right?
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.
FINN: 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 #1: On me! On me!
SOLDIER #2: Move! Move!
RESISTANCE TROOPER: Go back! Gather your weapons!
SOLDIER: #3: Get over here!
SOLDIER #4: Hold your fire!
SALTY: Salt.
SOLDIER #5: Ground forces, incoming.
POE: Copy that, on our way.
ROSE: Engage your mono-ski. The green toggle.
POE: 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 up front. All right, ground forces, lay down some fire!
ARMITAGE HUX: 13 incoming light craft. Shall we hold until we clear them?
KYLO REN: No. The Resistance is in that mine. Push through.
POE: Fighters, break off! Come on! We gotta hold them till they pull up that cannon!
FINN: Rose, you've got 3 right behind you!
ROSE: I can't lose 'em!
FINN: Whoo! Yeah!
REY: Whoo! I like this!
KYLO REN: Blow that piece of junk out of the sky!
ARMITAGE HUX: All fighters!
REY: Chewie, pull off from the battle. Draw them away from the speeders.
POE: She drew 'em off! All of 'em!
FINN: Oh, they hate that ship!
REY: Chewie!
ROSE: There it is! That is a big gun.
FINN: OK, it's heavily armored. Our only shot is right down the throat. The cannon's opening. This is our chance.
KYLO REN: All firepower on those speeders.
ARMITAGE HUX: Concentrate all fire on the speeders!
RESISTANCE CONTROLLER: We're taking heavy losses.
POE: 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.
POE: No! Pull off!
FINN: What?
POE: The cannon is charged! It's a suicide run! All craft, pull away!
FINN: No! I'm almost there!
POE: Retreat, Finn! That's an order!
ROSE: Finn? It's too late! Don't do this!
FINN: No! I won't let them win!
ROSE: No! Finn, listen to Poe! We have to retreat!
MALE SCOUT: The cannon is warming up now.
MALE COMMANDER: Copy that. We see it.
MALE SCOUT: Preparing to fire.
POE: Move! Go, go! Quick!
SOLDIER: Let's go, let's go!
FINN: Rose? Rose? Rose? Why would you do that? Huh? I was almost there. Why would you stop me?
ROSE: 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.
KAYDEL KO CONNIX: Our distress signal's been received at multiple points, but no response.
LARMA D'ACY: They've heard us, but no one's coming.
LEIA: 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.
LUKE: It's nice that way. Leia, I'm sorry.
LEIA: I know. I know you are. I'm just glad you're here at the end.
LUKE: I came to face him, Leia. And I can't save him.
LEIA: I held out hope for so long, but I know my son is gone.
LUKE: No one's ever really gone.
C-3PO: Master Luke.
KYLO REN: Stop! I want every gun we have to fire on that man. Do it. More! More!
ARMITAGE HUX: That's enough. That's enough! Do you think you got him? Now, if we're ready to get moving, we can finish this.
SHUTTLE PILOT: Sir?
KYLO REN: Bring me down to him. Keep the door covered and don't advance until I say.
ARMITAGE HUX: Supreme Leader, don't get distracted, our goal....
SHUTTLE PILOT: Right away, sir.
FINN: Med pack! I need a med pack!
POE: She's hurt pretty bad. It's Kylo Ren. Luke's facing him alone.
FINN: Well, we should help him. Let's go.
POE: No, wait. Wait.
KYLO REN: Did you come back to say you forgive me? To save my soul?
LUKE: No.
POE: He's doing this for a reason. He's stalling so we can escape.
FINN: Escape? He's one man against an army. We have to help him, we have to fight.
POE: No, no. We are the spark that'll light the fire that will 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?
C-3PO: 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 15,428....
POE: Shh. Shush. Hush. Shush up. Shut up!
C-3PO: To one.
POE: Listen.
C-3PO: My audio sensors no longer detect the....
POE: Exactly.
FINN: Where'd the crystal critters go?
POE: Follow me.
LEIA: What are you looking at me for? Follow him.
REY: If the beacon's right beneath us, they've gotta be somewhere. Keep scanning for life forms.
POE: This way.
REY: I see them! Chewie, there!
POE: No. No, no, no. No!
REY: Lifting rocks.
LUKE: I failed you, Ben. I'm sorry.
KYLO REN: 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.
LUKE: 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.
KYLO REN: I'll destroy her, and you, and all of it.
LUKE: No. Strike me down in anger and I'll always be with you. Just like your father.
KYLO REN: No.
LUKE: See you around, kid.
KYLO REN: No!
POE: C'ai!
C-3PO: Such a friend.
LEIA: Chewie!
REY: It looks good.
KAYDEL KO CONNIX: That was crazy, man.
POE: Hi.
REY: Hi.
POE: I'm Poe.
REY: Rey.
POE: I know.
LARMA D'ACY: When we get to the Outer Rim, I have a contact there.
C-3PO: Quite definately possible.
REY: Luke is gone. I felt it. But it wasn't sadness or pain. It was peace and purpose.
LEIA: I felt it, too.
REY: How do we build a Rebellion from this?
LEIA: (puts her hand on Rey's and smiles) We have everything we need.
EXT: CANTO BIGHT - DESERT - NIGHT
ONIHO ZAYA: Luke Skywalker, Jedi Master.
AMILYN HOLDO: What was that?
KAYDEL KO CONNIX: Nothing, Admiral. Passing debris.
FINN: The fleet's only got 18 hours of fuel left. We gotta hurry.
REY: Still can't reach the Resistance? Keep at it. If you get through, check their status. And ask about Finn.
KYLO REN: Why is the Force connecting us? You and I.
REY: Murderous snake. You're too late. You lost. I found Skywalker.
KYLO REN: Did he tell you what happened? The night I destroyed his temple, did he tell you why?
REY: I know everything I need to know about you.
KYLO REN: You do? Ah, you do. You have that look in your eyes. From the forest. When you called me a monster.
REY: You are a monster.
KYLO REN: Yes, I am.
ROSE: OK. We get in, we find this codebreaker, we get out.
FINN: Do you know this town? Canto Bight?
ROSE: From stories. It's a terrible place filled with the worst people in the galaxy.
FINN: Great.
SLOWEN LO: I told those two, I said, "This is a public beach. You can't park that shuttle." But they just lit off toward the casino.
THAMM: Place your bets. Place your bets. All the bets on the table right now, right now! Place your bets here.
FINN: Aw, yes! This place is great!
ROSE: OK. Maz says that this Master Codebreaker would have a red plom bloom on his lapel. Let's find him and get out of here.
THAMM: Well played. The house wins. Where are your manners, more like?
ROSE: Come on!
FINN: We've covered this whole casino. Zero red plom blooms. Where is this guy?
ROSE: Were those what I think they are?
FINN: What are those things?
ROSE: Fathiers. I've never seen a real one.
FINN: Look, this whole place is beautiful. I mean, come on. Why do you hate it so much?
ROSE: Look closer. My sister and I grew up in a poor mining system. The First Order stripped our ore to finance its military.... then shelled us to test their weapons. 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.
FINN: War.
ROSE: Selling weapons to the First Order. I wish I could put my fist through this whole lousy, beautiful town. Red plom bloom!
FINN: Red plom bloom!
ROSE: The Master Codebreaker!
SLOWEN LO: Yup, those are the shuttle parkers.
COP: All right, You two are under arrest for parking violation 27B/6. You have the right to remain....
LOVEY: What was that?
MASTER CODEBREAKER: No, no, no. Not now, Lovey. I'm on a roll.
LUKE: Lesson Two. Now that they're extinct, the Jedi are romanticized, defied. But if you strip away the myth and look at their deeds, the legacy of the Jedi is failure. Hypocrisy, hubris.
REY: That's not true.
LUKE: 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.
REY: And a Jedi who saved him. Yes, the most hated man in the galaxy. But you saw that there was conflict inside him. You believed that he wasn't gone. That he could be turned.
LUKE: 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.
REY: What happened?
LUKE: I went to confront him. And he turned on me. Ben, no! 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.
REY: 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.
PEAVEY: The main cruiser's still keeping beyond range. But their medical frigate is out of fuel and its shields are down.
ARMITAGE HUX: The beginning of their end. Destroy it.
MEDICAL FRIGATE PILOT: The last of our crew has been evacuated and heading your way. It's been an honor, Admiral. Godspeed, Rebels!
KAYDEL KO CONNIX: Admiral, fuel reserves at six hours.
AMILYN HOLDO: Maintain our current course. Steady on.
POE: Finn, Rose, where are you guys?
COP: Deal me in. Thanks.
ROSE: Finn, the fleet is running on fumes. Without a codebreaker to break us onto Snoke's Star Destroyer.... 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.
ROSE: What?
FINN: What?
ROSE: What?
DJ: S-S-S-Sorry, I'm just couldn't help but overhear all the stuff that you were saying really loudly while I trying to sleep. Codebreaker? Thief? I can do it.
FINN: I'm not talking about picking pockets, OK?
DJ: Yeah. D-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-S-Snoke's boudoir.
FINN: No.
ROSE: We're.... We've got it covered.
DJ: Ha-tuk-ga.
FINN: Did he just....?
ROSE: Yeah. We gotta get outta here! This way!
COP: Why, you little....
DJ: D-D-D-Did you do this?
COP: Hey, hands up! Hands up!
DJ: Yeah, man. What's your story, roundie?
COP #1: They went this way! Lock down all the exits.
COP #2: Wait.
FINN: That smells great. Those cops will be here any minute. What now? Whoa! Ooh!
ROSE: No, wait. Please stop! We're with the Resistance.
COP #1: Roger that. Checking the stables now.
COP #2: This way.
COP #3: They must have come through here.
ROSE: Hyah!
TEMIRI BLAGG - Go, go, go! Whoo!
FINN: Stop enjoying this, stop enjoying this!
SPEEDER PILOT: We've got them. They aren't going anywhere.
FINN AND ROSE: Ahhhh!
FINN: Huh?
ROSE: Move, move, move! Get outta the way!
FINN: Our ship's on the beach straight ahead! We need cover! Too much cover! There it is!
FINN AND ROSE: No!
FINN: Come on!
SPEEDER PILOT: Let the flock go. Stick with the perps. Where'd they go?
FINN: I think we lost them! Now we go down to the beach and circle back around....
ROSE: Cliff! We're trapped.
FINN: It was worth it, though. To tear up that town, make 'em hurt.
ROSE: Go. Now, it's worth it.
SPEEDER PILOT: There they are.
FINN: BB-8! Wait, are you flying that thing?
DJ: N-N-N-Need a lift?
LEIA: Luke.
LUKE: Leia.
REY: I'd rather not do this now.
KYLO REN: Yeah, me too.
REY: Why did you hate your father? Do you have something, a cowl or something you can put on? Why did you hate your father? Give me an honest answer. You had a father who loved you, he gave a damn about you.
KYLO REN: I didn't hate him.
REY: Then why?
KYLO REN: Why, what? Why, what? Say it.
REY: Why did you... Why did you kill him? I don't understand.
KYLO REN: No? Your parents threw you away like garbage.
REY: They didn't!
KYLO REN: 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?
REY: Yes.
KYLO REN: No. He had sensed my power, as he senses yours. And he feared it.
REY: Liar.
KYLO REN: Let the past die. Kill it if you have to. That's the only way to become what you were meant to be.
REY: No! No!
FEMALE VOICE: Rey?
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.
REY: Let me see them. My parents... please. I thought I'd find answers here. I was wrong. I've never felt so alone KYLO REN: You're not alone.
REY: Neither are you.
LUKE: Rey?
REY: It isn't too late.
LUKE: Stop!
REY: It is true? Did you try to murder him?
LUKE: Leave this island now!
REY: Stop. Stop! Did you do it? Did you create Kylo Ren? Tell me the truth.
LUKE: I saw darkness. I'd sensed it building in him. I'd see it at moments during his training. But then I looked inside... and it was beyond what I ever imagined. 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. 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!
REY: You failed him by thinking his choice was made It wasn't There is still conflict in him If he turned from the dark side, that could shift the tide. This could be how we win.
LUKE: This is not going to go the way you think.
REY: 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.
LUKE: Rey... don't do this.
REY: Then he is our last hope.
LUKE: Master Yoda.
YODA: Young Skywalker.
LUKE: I'm ending all of this. The tree, the text, the Jedi. I'm going to burn it down.
YODA: Hmm. (laughs) Ah, Skywalker, missed you, have I.
LUKE: So it is time for the Jedi Order to end.
YODA: Time it is. For you to look at a pile of old books, hmmm?
LUKE: The sacred Jedi texts.
YODA: Oh. Read them, have you?
LUKE: Well, I...
YODA: 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, hmmm? (pokes Luke with his walking stick) The need in front of your nose. Hmmm?
LUKE: I was weak. Unwise.
YODA: Lost Ben Solo, you did. Lose Rey, we must not.
LUKE: I can't be what she needs me to be.
YODA: Heeded my words not, did you? Pass on what you have learned. Strength, mastery. But weakness, folly, falure, also. Yes, failure most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is. Luke, we are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters.
FINN: Four parsecs to go. This thing really cooks.
ROSE: I just hope we're in time. You can actually do this, right?
DJ: Yeah, about that... Guys, I can do it. But there exists a pre-"do it" conversation about price.
ROSE: Once we're done, the Resistance will give you whatever you want.
DJ: What you got deposit-wise?
FINN: Are you kidding me? Look at us.
DJ: Is that Haysian smelt? That's something.
FINN: 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-n-no doing.
FINN: OK, listen here, you've gotta....
ROSE: Do it.
DJ: Now I can help.
FINN: 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? It's not your ship.
DJ: He says I stole it.
FINN: Yeah, I got that.
DJ: We stole it.
FINN: At least you're stealing from the bad guys and helping the good.
DJ: Good guys, bad guys, made-up words. Let's see who formally 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.
PEAVEY: That was the last of their support ships. It's just their main cruiser now.
ARMITAGE HUX: And their fuel reserve?
PEAVEY: By our calculations.... critical.
POE: She in there?
LARMA D'ACY: The Admiral's banned you from the bridge. Let's not have a scene.
POE: No, let's. Holdo?
LARMA: You're not allowed in here.
HOLDO: Flyboy.
POE: 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!
HOLDO: When I served under Leia, she would say, hope is like the sun. If you only believe in it when you can see it....
POE: You'll never make it through the night.
HOLDO: Yes.
POE: 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 transports 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.
HOLDO: Get this man off my bridge.
POE: Finn, Holdo's loading the crew in the shuttles. She's going to abandon ship. Where are you?
FINN: Poe, we're on our way back to the fleet. We're so close.
POE: Did you find the Master Codebreaker?
FINN: We found a codebreaker. We can shut the tracker down. Just buy us a little more time.
POE: All right, hurry.
REY: As soon as I launch, you jump back out of range. Stay there until you get my signal for where to rendezvous. If you see Finn before I do, tell him... Yeah, perfect. Tell him that.
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.
AMILYN HOLDO: So a stormtrooper, and a who now are doing what?
POE: 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.
AMILYN HOLDO: 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.
POE: Yeah, I was afraid you'd say that. Vice Admiral Holdo, I am relieving you of your command for the survival of this ship, its crew, and the Resistance.
AMILYN HOLDO: I hope you understand what you're doing.
POE: Yeah. I'm going to the bridge. If they move, stun them.
OFFICER #1: ....at least three cycles so far.
OFFICER #2: Yes, sir. We're working on it.
OFFICER #3: I will do my best, sir.
FINN: Almost there.
REY: 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 will turn. I'll help you. I saw it.
KYLO REN: 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.
SNOKE: Well done, my good and faithful apprentice. My faith in you is restored. Young Rey. Welcome.
FINN: So this is it? The tracker's right behind this door.
DJ: Haysian smelt. Best conductor. And you're welcome.
ROSE: Good time to figure out how to get back to the fleet?
FINN: I know where the nearest escape pods are.
ROSE: Course you do.
POE: BB-8, tell me something good.
FINN: Poe, we're almost there. Have the cruiser prepped for lightspeed.
POE: 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.
POE: Yeah, we spoke.
C-3PO: Sir, I am almost afraid to ask.
POE: Good instinct, 3PO. Go with that. Seal that door!
ROSE: We're running out of time.
FINN: Come on, how's it going?
DJ: Almost there.
POE: 3PO, where do you think you're going?
C-3PO: It would be quite against my programming to be party to a mutiny.
POE: Hey!
C-3PO: It is not correct protocol. Oh! Neither is this!
POE: Finn? We're ready to make the jump.
FINN: Now or never.
DJ: Now.
FINN: You're up.
STORMTROOPER #1: You there, hands up!
STORMTROOPER #2: Watch 'em, watch 'em.
STORMTROOPER #3: Drop your weapons, now!
STORMTROOPER #4: Hands up, Rebel scum.
STORMTROOPER #3: Get down! I said, down!
PHASMA: FN-2187. So good to have you back.
POE: They didn't make it. Leia.
ANNOUNCER: Please board the transports according to your evacuation designation. All transports must be cleared....
GURNEY OPERATOR: OK, help me push him up, guys.
AMILYN HOLDO: That one's a troublemaker. I like him.
LEIA: Me, too. Now, time to board your transport.
AMILYN HOLDO: For the transports to escape, someone needs to stay behind and pilot the cruiser.
LEIA: Too many losses. I can't take anymore.
AMILYN HOLDO: Sure you can. You taught me how.
LEIA AND AMILYN HOLDO: May the Force be....
LEIA: You go on. I've said it enough.
AMILYN HOLDO: May the Force be with you always.
PILOT: Cloaking device activated. We should be off their scopes.
LARMA D'ACY: Let's hope this works.
SNOKE: 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.... I assumed. Wrongly. Closer, I said.
REY: You underestimate Skywalker, and Ben Solo, and me. It will be your downfall.
SNOKE: Oh.... have you seen something? A weakness in my apprentice. Is that why you came? 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. Then I will kill you with the cruelest stroke.
REY: No.
SNOKE: Yes. Give me everything.
REY: No! No! No!
POE: No. No. No, no, no!
LEIA: Poe.
POE: What is that?
LARMA D'ACY: The mineral planet, Crait. An uncharted hideout from the days of the Rebellion.
POE: That's a Rebel base?
LARMA D'ACY: 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.
POE: So we could slip down to the surface unnoticed and hide till the First Order passes. That could work.
LEIA: She was more interested in protecting the light than she was seeming like a hero.
AMILYN HOLDO: Godspeed, Rebels.
ARMITAGE HUX: Well done, Phasma.
PHASMA: Your ship and payment, as we agreed.
ROSE: You lying snake.
DJ: We got caught, I cut a d-d-d-deal.
FINN: Wait, cut a deal with what?
FIRST ORDER OFFICER: Sir, we checked on the information from the thief. We ran a decloaking scan, and sure enough, 30 Resistance transports have just launched from the cruiser.
ARMITAGE HUX: He told us the truth. Will wonders never cease?
ROSE: No.
ARMITAGE HUX: Our weapons are ready?
FIRST ORDER OFFICER: Ready and aimed, sir.
ARMITAGE HUX: Fire at will.
FINN: Wait. No, no. No, you can't!
ROSE: No!
PILOT: Admiral, we're taking fire! Do we turn around?
AMILYN HOLDO: No, you're too far out. Full speed to planetfall. Full speed!
SNOKE: 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. Such spunk. Look here now. 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! And because of that, you must die. 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.
KYLO REN: I know what I have to do.
REY: Ben.
SNOKE: 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!
POE: Come on, give it full thrusters. Full speed!
COVA NELL: I am, sir.
FINN: You murdering bastard!
DJ: T-T-T-Take it easy, Big F. They blow you up today, you blow them up tomorrow. It's just business.
FINN: You're wrong.
DJ: Maybe.
REY: Ben! The fleet. Order them to stop firing. There's still time to save the fleet. Ben?
KYLO REN: It's time to let old things die. Snoke, Skywalker. The Sith, the Jedi, the Rebels.... let it all die. Rey. I want you to join me. We can rule together and bring a new order to the galaxy.
REY: Don't do this, Ben. Please don't go this way.
KYLO REN: No, no. You're still holding on! Let go! 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. Say it.
REY: They were nobody.
KYLO REN: They were filthy junk traders who sold you off for drinking money. They're dead in a paupers' grave in the Jakku desert. You have no place in this story. You come from nothing. You're nothing. But not to me. Join me. Please.
FIRST ORDER OFFICER: Sir, the Resistance cruiser's preparing to jump to lightspeed.
ARMITAGE HUX: It's empty. They're just trying to pull our attention away. Pathetic. Keep your fire on the transports.
PHASMA: Execution by blaster is too good for them. Let's make this hurt.
ROSE: Finn.
PHASMA: On my command.
KAYDEL KO CONNIX: She's running away.
POE: No, she isn't.
EDRISON PEAVEY: No!
ARMITAGE HUX: Fire on that cruiser!
PHASMA: Execute.
ROSE: Finn! There's a shuttle back that way! We gotta go!
PHASMA: Traitor! What?
ROSE: Finn!
PHASMA: You are a bug in the system.
FINN: Let's go, chrome-dome. Come on!
ROSE: No!
FINN: Hey.
PHASMA: You were always scum.
FINN: Rebel scum.
ROSE: Hey! Need a lift?
ARMITAGE HUX: What happened?
KYLO REN: The girl murdered Snoke. What happened?
ARMITAGE HUX: She took Snoke's escape craft.
KYLO REN: We know where she's going. Get all our forces down to that Resistance base. Let's finish this.
ARMITAGE HUX: Finish this? Who do you think you're talking to? You presumed to command my army? Our Supreme Leader is dead! We have no ruler!
KYLO REN: The Supreme Leader is dead.
ARMITAGE HUX: Long live the Supreme Leader.
LEIA: They're coming, shut the door.
RESISTANCE SOLDIER: Incoming!
POE: Go, go, move! Get that shield door down!
ROSE: No! Wait, don't shoot! It's us! No, don't shoot!
POE: Hold your fire!
FINN: Don't shoot!
POE: Hold your fire!
LEIA: Finn?
POE: Finn! Rose! You're not dead! Where's my droid? Buddy! I'm so glad to see you! Wait, what? Wait, wait, wait, slow down.
ROSE: Is this all that's left?
POE: All right, our 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.
LEIA: Use my personal code. If there are any allies to the Resistance, it's now or never.
POE: Rose, what do you got?
ROSE: Rotting munitions, rusted artillery, some half-gutted skim speeders.
POE: Well, let's just pray that big-ass door holds long enough for us to get help.
FINN: A battering ram cannon.
POE: A what now?
FINN: Miniaturized Death Star tech. It'll crack that door open like an egg.
ROSE: There has to be a back way out of here, right?
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.
FINN: 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 #1: On me! On me!
SOLDIER #2: Move! Move!
RESISTANCE TROOPER: Go back! Gather your weapons!
SOLDIER: #3: Get over here!
SOLDIER #4: Hold your fire!
SALTY: Salt.
SOLDIER #5: Ground forces, incoming.
POE: Copy that, on our way.
ROSE: Engage your mono-ski. The green toggle.
POE: 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 up front. All right, ground forces, lay down some fire!
ARMITAGE HUX: 13 incoming light craft. Shall we hold until we clear them?
KYLO REN: No. The Resistance is in that mine. Push through.
POE: Fighters, break off! Come on! We gotta hold them till they pull up that cannon!
FINN: Rose, you've got 3 right behind you!
ROSE: I can't lose 'em!
FINN: Whoo! Yeah!
REY: Whoo! I like this!
KYLO REN: Blow that piece of junk out of the sky!
ARMITAGE HUX: All fighters!
REY: Chewie, pull off from the battle. Draw them away from the speeders.
POE: She drew 'em off! All of 'em!
FINN: Oh, they hate that ship!
REY: Chewie!
ROSE: There it is! That is a big gun.
FINN: OK, it's heavily armored. Our only shot is right down the throat. The cannon's opening. This is our chance.
KYLO REN: All firepower on those speeders.
ARMITAGE HUX: Concentrate all fire on the speeders!
RESISTANCE CONTROLLER: We're taking heavy losses.
POE: 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.
POE: No! Pull off!
FINN: What?
POE: The cannon is charged! It's a suicide run! All craft, pull away!
FINN: No! I'm almost there!
POE: Retreat, Finn! That's an order!
ROSE: Finn? It's too late! Don't do this!
FINN: No! I won't let them win!
ROSE: No! Finn, listen to Poe! We have to retreat!
MALE SCOUT: The cannon is warming up now.
MALE COMMANDER: Copy that. We see it.
MALE SCOUT: Preparing to fire.
POE: Move! Go, go! Quick!
SOLDIER: Let's go, let's go!
FINN: Rose? Rose? Rose? Why would you do that? Huh? I was almost there. Why would you stop me?
ROSE: 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.
KAYDEL KO CONNIX: Our distress signal's been received at multiple points, but no response.
LARMA D'ACY: They've heard us, but no one's coming.
LEIA: 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.
LUKE: It's nice that way. Leia, I'm sorry.
LEIA: I know. I know you are. I'm just glad you're here at the end.
LUKE: I came to face him, Leia. And I can't save him.
LEIA: I held out hope for so long, but I know my son is gone.
LUKE: No one's ever really gone.
C-3PO: Master Luke.
KYLO REN: Stop! I want every gun we have to fire on that man. Do it. More! More!
ARMITAGE HUX: That's enough. That's enough! Do you think you got him? Now, if we're ready to get moving, we can finish this.
SHUTTLE PILOT: Sir?
KYLO REN: Bring me down to him. Keep the door covered and don't advance until I say.
ARMITAGE HUX: Supreme Leader, don't get distracted, our goal....
SHUTTLE PILOT: Right away, sir.
FINN: Med pack! I need a med pack!
POE: She's hurt pretty bad. It's Kylo Ren. Luke's facing him alone.
FINN: Well, we should help him. Let's go.
POE: No, wait. Wait.
KYLO REN: Did you come back to say you forgive me? To save my soul?
LUKE: No.
POE: He's doing this for a reason. He's stalling so we can escape.
FINN: Escape? He's one man against an army. We have to help him, we have to fight.
POE: No, no. We are the spark that'll light the fire that will 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?
C-3PO: 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 15,428....
POE: Shh. Shush. Hush. Shush up. Shut up!
C-3PO: To one.
POE: Listen.
C-3PO: My audio sensors no longer detect the....
POE: Exactly.
FINN: Where'd the crystal critters go?
POE: Follow me.
LEIA: What are you looking at me for? Follow him.
REY: If the beacon's right beneath us, they've gotta be somewhere. Keep scanning for life forms.
POE: This way.
REY: I see them! Chewie, there!
POE: No. No, no, no. No!
REY: Lifting rocks.
LUKE: I failed you, Ben. I'm sorry.
KYLO REN: 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.
LUKE: 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.
KYLO REN: I'll destroy her, and you, and all of it.
LUKE: No. Strike me down in anger and I'll always be with you. Just like your father.
KYLO REN: No.
LUKE: See you around, kid.
KYLO REN: No!
POE: C'ai!
C-3PO: Such a friend.
LEIA: Chewie!
REY: It looks good.
KAYDEL KO CONNIX: That was crazy, man.
POE: Hi.
REY: Hi.
POE: I'm Poe.
REY: Rey.
POE: I know.
LARMA D'ACY: When we get to the Outer Rim, I have a contact there.
C-3PO: Quite definately possible.
REY: Luke is gone. I felt it. But it wasn't sadness or pain. It was peace and purpose.
LEIA: I felt it, too.
REY: How do we build a Rebellion from this?
LEIA: (puts her hand on Rey's and smiles) We have everything we need.
EXT: CANTO BIGHT - DESERT - NIGHT
ONIHO ZAYA: Luke Skywalker, Jedi Master.
This is not Pain & GainAMILYN HOLDO: What was that?
KAYDEL KO CONNIX: Nothing, Admiral. Passing debris.
FINN: The fleet's only got 18 hours of fuel left. We gotta hurry.
REY: Still can't reach the Resistance? Keep at it. If you get through, check their status. And ask about Finn.
KYLO REN: Why is the Force connecting us? You and I.
REY: Murderous snake. You're too late. You lost. I found Skywalker.
KYLO REN: Did he tell you what happened? The night I destroyed his temple, did he tell you why?
REY: I know everything I need to know about you.
KYLO REN: You do? Ah, you do. You have that look in your eyes. From the forest. When you called me a monster.
REY: You are a monster.
KYLO REN: Yes, I am.
ROSE: OK. We get in, we find this codebreaker, we get out.
FINN: Do you know this town? Canto Bight?
ROSE: From stories. It's a terrible place filled with the worst people in the galaxy.
FINN: Great.
SLOWEN LO: I told those two, I said, "This is a public beach. You can't park that shuttle." But they just lit off toward the casino.
THAMM: Place your bets. Place your bets. All the bets on the table right now, right now! Place your bets here.
FINN: Aw, yes! This place is great!
ROSE: OK. Maz says that this Master Codebreaker would have a red plom bloom on his lapel. Let's find him and get out of here.
THAMM: Well played. The house wins. Where are your manners, more like?
ROSE: Come on!
FINN: We've covered this whole casino. Zero red plom blooms. Where is this guy?
ROSE: Were those what I think they are?
FINN: What are those things?
ROSE: Fathiers. I've never seen a real one.
FINN: Look, this whole place is beautiful. I mean, come on. Why do you hate it so much?
ROSE: Look closer. My sister and I grew up in a poor mining system. The First Order stripped our ore to finance its military.... then shelled us to test their weapons. 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.
FINN: War.
ROSE: Selling weapons to the First Order. I wish I could put my fist through this whole lousy, beautiful town. Red plom bloom!
FINN: Red plom bloom!
ROSE: The Master Codebreaker!
SLOWEN LO: Yup, those are the shuttle parkers.
COP: All right, You two are under arrest for parking violation 27B/6. You have the right to remain....
LOVEY: What was that?
MASTER CODEBREAKER: No, no, no. Not now, Lovey. I'm on a roll.
LUKE: Lesson Two. Now that they're extinct, the Jedi are romanticized, defied. But if you strip away the myth and look at their deeds, the legacy of the Jedi is failure. Hypocrisy, hubris.
REY: That's not true.
LUKE: 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.
REY: And a Jedi who saved him. Yes, the most hated man in the galaxy. But you saw that there was conflict inside him. You believed that he wasn't gone. That he could be turned.
LUKE: 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.
REY: What happened?
LUKE: I went to confront him. And he turned on me. Ben, no! 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.
REY: 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.
PEAVEY: The main cruiser's still keeping beyond range. But their medical frigate is out of fuel and its shields are down.
ARMITAGE HUX: The beginning of their end. Destroy it.
MEDICAL FRIGATE PILOT: The last of our crew has been evacuated and heading your way. It's been an honor, Admiral. Godspeed, Rebels!
KAYDEL KO CONNIX: Admiral, fuel reserves at six hours.
AMILYN HOLDO: Maintain our current course. Steady on.
POE: Finn, Rose, where are you guys?
COP: Deal me in. Thanks.
ROSE: Finn, the fleet is running on fumes. Without a codebreaker to break us onto Snoke's Star Destroyer.... 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.
ROSE: What?
FINN: What?
ROSE: What?
DJ: S-S-S-Sorry, I'm just couldn't help but overhear all the stuff that you were saying really loudly while I trying to sleep. Codebreaker? Thief? I can do it.
FINN: I'm not talking about picking pockets, OK?
DJ: Yeah. D-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-S-Snoke's boudoir.
FINN: No.
ROSE: We're.... We've got it covered.
DJ: Ha-tuk-ga.
FINN: Did he just....?
ROSE: Yeah. We gotta get outta here! This way!
COP: Why, you little....
DJ: D-D-D-Did you do this?
COP: Hey, hands up! Hands up!
DJ: Yeah, man. What's your story, roundie?
COP #1: They went this way! Lock down all the exits.
COP #2: Wait.
FINN: That smells great. Those cops will be here any minute. What now? Whoa! Ooh!
ROSE: No, wait. Please stop! We're with the Resistance.
COP #1: Roger that. Checking the stables now.
COP #2: This way.
COP #3: They must have come through here.
ROSE: Hyah!
TEMIRI BLAGG - Go, go, go! Whoo!
FINN: Stop enjoying this, stop enjoying this!
SPEEDER PILOT: We've got them. They aren't going anywhere.
FINN AND ROSE: Ahhhh!
FINN: Huh?
ROSE: Move, move, move! Get outta the way!
FINN: Our ship's on the beach straight ahead! We need cover! Too much cover! There it is!
FINN AND ROSE: No!
FINN: Come on!
SPEEDER PILOT: Let the flock go. Stick with the perps. Where'd they go?
FINN: I think we lost them! Now we go down to the beach and circle back around....
ROSE: Cliff! We're trapped.
FINN: It was worth it, though. To tear up that town, make 'em hurt.
ROSE: Go. Now, it's worth it.
SPEEDER PILOT: There they are.
FINN: BB-8! Wait, are you flying that thing?
DJ: N-N-N-Need a lift?
LEIA: Luke.
LUKE: Leia.
REY: I'd rather not do this now.
KYLO REN: Yeah, me too.
REY: Why did you hate your father? Do you have something, a cowl or something you can put on? Why did you hate your father? Give me an honest answer. You had a father who loved you, he gave a damn about you.
KYLO REN: I didn't hate him.
REY: Then why?
KYLO REN: Why, what? Why, what? Say it.
REY: Why did you... Why did you kill him? I don't understand.
KYLO REN: No? Your parents threw you away like garbage.
REY: They didn't!
KYLO REN: 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?
REY: Yes.
KYLO REN: No. He had sensed my power, as he senses yours. And he feared it.
REY: Liar.
KYLO REN: Let the past die. Kill it if you have to. That's the only way to become what you were meant to be.
REY: No! No!
FEMALE VOICE: Rey?
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.
REY: Let me see them. My parents... please. I thought I'd find answers here. I was wrong. I've never felt so alone KYLO REN: You're not alone.
REY: Neither are you.
LUKE: Rey?
REY: It isn't too late.
LUKE: Stop!
REY: It is true? Did you try to murder him?
LUKE: Leave this island now!
REY: Stop. Stop! Did you do it? Did you create Kylo Ren? Tell me the truth.
LUKE: I saw darkness. I'd sensed it building in him. I'd see it at moments during his training. But then I looked inside... and it was beyond what I ever imagined. 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. 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!
REY: You failed him by thinking his choice was made It wasn't There is still conflict in him If he turned from the dark side, that could shift the tide. This could be how we win.
LUKE: This is not going to go the way you think.
REY: 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.
LUKE: Rey... don't do this.
REY: Then he is our last hope.
LUKE: Master Yoda.
YODA: Young Skywalker.
LUKE: I'm ending all of this. The tree, the text, the Jedi. I'm going to burn it down.
YODA: Hmm. (laughs) Ah, Skywalker, missed you, have I.
LUKE: So it is time for the Jedi Order to end.
YODA: Time it is. For you to look at a pile of old books, hmmm?
LUKE: The sacred Jedi texts.
YODA: Oh. Read them, have you?
LUKE: Well, I...
YODA: 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, hmmm? (pokes Luke with his walking stick) The need in front of your nose. Hmmm?
LUKE: I was weak. Unwise.
YODA: Lost Ben Solo, you did. Lose Rey, we must not.
LUKE: I can't be what she needs me to be.
YODA: Heeded my words not, did you? Pass on what you have learned. Strength, mastery. But weakness, folly, falure, also. Yes, failure most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is. Luke, we are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters.
FINN: Four parsecs to go. This thing really cooks.
ROSE: I just hope we're in time. You can actually do this, right?
DJ: Yeah, about that... Guys, I can do it. But there exists a pre-"do it" conversation about price.
ROSE: Once we're done, the Resistance will give you whatever you want.
DJ: What you got deposit-wise?
FINN: Are you kidding me? Look at us.
DJ: Is that Haysian smelt? That's something.
FINN: 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-n-no doing.
FINN: OK, listen here, you've gotta....
ROSE: Do it.
DJ: Now I can help.
FINN: 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? It's not your ship.
DJ: He says I stole it.
FINN: Yeah, I got that.
DJ: We stole it.
FINN: At least you're stealing from the bad guys and helping the good.
DJ: Good guys, bad guys, made-up words. Let's see who formally 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.
PEAVEY: That was the last of their support ships. It's just their main cruiser now.
ARMITAGE HUX: And their fuel reserve?
PEAVEY: By our calculations.... critical.
POE: She in there?
LARMA D'ACY: The Admiral's banned you from the bridge. Let's not have a scene.
POE: No, let's. Holdo?
LARMA: You're not allowed in here.
HOLDO: Flyboy.
POE: 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!
HOLDO: When I served under Leia, she would say, hope is like the sun. If you only believe in it when you can see it....
POE: You'll never make it through the night.
HOLDO: Yes.
POE: 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 transports 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.
HOLDO: Get this man off my bridge.
POE: Finn, Holdo's loading the crew in the shuttles. She's going to abandon ship. Where are you?
FINN: Poe, we're on our way back to the fleet. We're so close.
POE: Did you find the Master Codebreaker?
FINN: We found a codebreaker. We can shut the tracker down. Just buy us a little more time.
POE: All right, hurry.
REY: As soon as I launch, you jump back out of range. Stay there until you get my signal for where to rendezvous. If you see Finn before I do, tell him... Yeah, perfect. Tell him that.
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.
AMILYN HOLDO: So a stormtrooper, and a who now are doing what?
POE: 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.
AMILYN HOLDO: 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.
POE: Yeah, I was afraid you'd say that. Vice Admiral Holdo, I am relieving you of your command for the survival of this ship, its crew, and the Resistance.
AMILYN HOLDO: I hope you understand what you're doing.
POE: Yeah. I'm going to the bridge. If they move, stun them.
OFFICER #1: ....at least three cycles so far.
OFFICER #2: Yes, sir. We're working on it.
OFFICER #3: I will do my best, sir.
FINN: Almost there.
REY: 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 will turn. I'll help you. I saw it.
KYLO REN: 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.
SNOKE: Well done, my good and faithful apprentice. My faith in you is restored. Young Rey. Welcome.
FINN: So this is it? The tracker's right behind this door.
DJ: Haysian smelt. Best conductor. And you're welcome.
ROSE: Good time to figure out how to get back to the fleet?
FINN: I know where the nearest escape pods are.
ROSE: Course you do.
POE: BB-8, tell me something good.
FINN: Poe, we're almost there. Have the cruiser prepped for lightspeed.
POE: 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.
POE: Yeah, we spoke.
C-3PO: Sir, I am almost afraid to ask.
POE: Good instinct, 3PO. Go with that. Seal that door!
ROSE: We're running out of time.
FINN: Come on, how's it going?
DJ: Almost there.
POE: 3PO, where do you think you're going?
C-3PO: It would be quite against my programming to be party to a mutiny.
POE: Hey!
C-3PO: It is not correct protocol. Oh! Neither is this!
POE: Finn? We're ready to make the jump.
FINN: Now or never.
DJ: Now.
FINN: You're up.
STORMTROOPER #1: You there, hands up!
STORMTROOPER #2: Watch 'em, watch 'em.
STORMTROOPER #3: Drop your weapons, now!
STORMTROOPER #4: Hands up, Rebel scum.
STORMTROOPER #3: Get down! I said, down!
PHASMA: FN-2187. So good to have you back.
POE: They didn't make it. Leia.
ANNOUNCER: Please board the transports according to your evacuation designation. All transports must be cleared....
GURNEY OPERATOR: OK, help me push him up, guys.
AMILYN HOLDO: That one's a troublemaker. I like him.
LEIA: Me, too. Now, time to board your transport.
AMILYN HOLDO: For the transports to escape, someone needs to stay behind and pilot the cruiser.
LEIA: Too many losses. I can't take anymore.
AMILYN HOLDO: Sure you can. You taught me how.
LEIA AND AMILYN HOLDO: May the Force be....
LEIA: You go on. I've said it enough.
AMILYN HOLDO: May the Force be with you always.
PILOT: Cloaking device activated. We should be off their scopes.
LARMA D'ACY: Let's hope this works.
SNOKE: 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.... I assumed. Wrongly. Closer, I said.
REY: You underestimate Skywalker, and Ben Solo, and me. It will be your downfall.
SNOKE: Oh.... have you seen something? A weakness in my apprentice. Is that why you came? 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. Then I will kill you with the cruelest stroke.
REY: No.
SNOKE: Yes. Give me everything.
REY: No! No! No!
POE: No. No. No, no, no!
LEIA: Poe.
POE: What is that?
LARMA D'ACY: The mineral planet, Crait. An uncharted hideout from the days of the Rebellion.
POE: That's a Rebel base?
LARMA D'ACY: 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.
POE: So we could slip down to the surface unnoticed and hide till the First Order passes. That could work.
LEIA: She was more interested in protecting the light than she was seeming like a hero.
AMILYN HOLDO: Godspeed, Rebels.
ARMITAGE HUX: Well done, Phasma.
PHASMA: Your ship and payment, as we agreed.
ROSE: You lying snake.
DJ: We got caught, I cut a d-d-d-deal.
FINN: Wait, cut a deal with what?
FIRST ORDER OFFICER: Sir, we checked on the information from the thief. We ran a decloaking scan, and sure enough, 30 Resistance transports have just launched from the cruiser.
ARMITAGE HUX: He told us the truth. Will wonders never cease?
ROSE: No.
ARMITAGE HUX: Our weapons are ready?
FIRST ORDER OFFICER: Ready and aimed, sir.
ARMITAGE HUX: Fire at will.
FINN: Wait. No, no. No, you can't!
ROSE: No!
PILOT: Admiral, we're taking fire! Do we turn around?
AMILYN HOLDO: No, you're too far out. Full speed to planetfall. Full speed!
SNOKE: 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. Such spunk. Look here now. 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! And because of that, you must die. 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.
KYLO REN: I know what I have to do.
REY: Ben.
SNOKE: 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!
POE: Come on, give it full thrusters. Full speed!
COVA NELL: I am, sir.
FINN: You murdering bastard!
DJ: T-T-T-Take it easy, Big F. They blow you up today, you blow them up tomorrow. It's just business.
FINN: You're wrong.
DJ: Maybe.
REY: Ben! The fleet. Order them to stop firing. There's still time to save the fleet. Ben?
KYLO REN: It's time to let old things die. Snoke, Skywalker. The Sith, the Jedi, the Rebels.... let it all die. Rey. I want you to join me. We can rule together and bring a new order to the galaxy.
REY: Don't do this, Ben. Please don't go this way.
KYLO REN: No, no. You're still holding on! Let go! 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. Say it.
REY: They were nobody.
KYLO REN: They were filthy junk traders who sold you off for drinking money. They're dead in a paupers' grave in the Jakku desert. You have no place in this story. You come from nothing. You're nothing. But not to me. Join me. Please.
FIRST ORDER OFFICER: Sir, the Resistance cruiser's preparing to jump to lightspeed.
ARMITAGE HUX: It's empty. They're just trying to pull our attention away. Pathetic. Keep your fire on the transports.
PHASMA: Execution by blaster is too good for them. Let's make this hurt.
ROSE: Finn.
PHASMA: On my command.
KAYDEL KO CONNIX: She's running away.
POE: No, she isn't.
EDRISON PEAVEY: No!
ARMITAGE HUX: Fire on that cruiser!
PHASMA: Execute.
ROSE: Finn! There's a shuttle back that way! We gotta go!
PHASMA: Traitor! What?
ROSE: Finn!
PHASMA: You are a bug in the system.
FINN: Let's go, chrome-dome. Come on!
ROSE: No!
FINN: Hey.
PHASMA: You were always scum.
FINN: Rebel scum.
ROSE: Hey! Need a lift?
ARMITAGE HUX: What happened?
KYLO REN: The girl murdered Snoke. What happened?
ARMITAGE HUX: She took Snoke's escape craft.
KYLO REN: We know where she's going. Get all our forces down to that Resistance base. Let's finish this.
ARMITAGE HUX: Finish this? Who do you think you're talking to? You presumed to command my army? Our Supreme Leader is dead! We have no ruler!
KYLO REN: The Supreme Leader is dead.
ARMITAGE HUX: Long live the Supreme Leader.
LEIA: They're coming, shut the door.
RESISTANCE SOLDIER: Incoming!
POE: Go, go, move! Get that shield door down!
ROSE: No! Wait, don't shoot! It's us! No, don't shoot!
POE: Hold your fire!
FINN: Don't shoot!
POE: Hold your fire!
LEIA: Finn?
POE: Finn! Rose! You're not dead! Where's my droid? Buddy! I'm so glad to see you! Wait, what? Wait, wait, wait, slow down.
ROSE: Is this all that's left?
POE: All right, our 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.
LEIA: Use my personal code. If there are any allies to the Resistance, it's now or never.
POE: Rose, what do you got?
ROSE: Rotting munitions, rusted artillery, some half-gutted skim speeders.
POE: Well, let's just pray that big-ass door holds long enough for us to get help.
FINN: A battering ram cannon.
POE: A what now?
FINN: Miniaturized Death Star tech. It'll crack that door open like an egg.
ROSE: There has to be a back way out of here, right?
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.
FINN: 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 #1: On me! On me!
SOLDIER #2: Move! Move!
RESISTANCE TROOPER: Go back! Gather your weapons!
SOLDIER: #3: Get over here!
SOLDIER #4: Hold your fire!
SALTY: Salt.
SOLDIER #5: Ground forces, incoming.
POE: Copy that, on our way.
ROSE: Engage your mono-ski. The green toggle.
POE: 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 up front. All right, ground forces, lay down some fire!
ARMITAGE HUX: 13 incoming light craft. Shall we hold until we clear them?
KYLO REN: No. The Resistance is in that mine. Push through.
POE: Fighters, break off! Come on! We gotta hold them till they pull up that cannon!
FINN: Rose, you've got 3 right behind you!
ROSE: I can't lose 'em!
FINN: Whoo! Yeah!
REY: Whoo! I like this!
KYLO REN: Blow that piece of junk out of the sky!
ARMITAGE HUX: All fighters!
REY: Chewie, pull off from the battle. Draw them away from the speeders.
POE: She drew 'em off! All of 'em!
FINN: Oh, they hate that ship!
REY: Chewie!
ROSE: There it is! That is a big gun.
FINN: OK, it's heavily armored. Our only shot is right down the throat. The cannon's opening. This is our chance.
KYLO REN: All firepower on those speeders.
ARMITAGE HUX: Concentrate all fire on the speeders!
RESISTANCE CONTROLLER: We're taking heavy losses.
POE: 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.
POE: No! Pull off!
FINN: What?
POE: The cannon is charged! It's a suicide run! All craft, pull away!
FINN: No! I'm almost there!
POE: Retreat, Finn! That's an order!
ROSE: Finn? It's too late! Don't do this!
FINN: No! I won't let them win!
ROSE: No! Finn, listen to Poe! We have to retreat!
MALE SCOUT: The cannon is warming up now.
MALE COMMANDER: Copy that. We see it.
MALE SCOUT: Preparing to fire.
POE: Move! Go, go! Quick!
SOLDIER: Let's go, let's go!
FINN: Rose? Rose? Rose? Why would you do that? Huh? I was almost there. Why would you stop me?
ROSE: 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.
KAYDEL KO CONNIX: Our distress signal's been received at multiple points, but no response.
LARMA D'ACY: They've heard us, but no one's coming.
LEIA: 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.
LUKE: It's nice that way. Leia, I'm sorry.
LEIA: I know. I know you are. I'm just glad you're here at the end.
LUKE: I came to face him, Leia. And I can't save him.
LEIA: I held out hope for so long, but I know my son is gone.
LUKE: No one's ever really gone.
C-3PO: Master Luke.
KYLO REN: Stop! I want every gun we have to fire on that man. Do it. More! More!
ARMITAGE HUX: That's enough. That's enough! Do you think you got him? Now, if we're ready to get moving, we can finish this.
SHUTTLE PILOT: Sir?
KYLO REN: Bring me down to him. Keep the door covered and don't advance until I say.
ARMITAGE HUX: Supreme Leader, don't get distracted, our goal....
SHUTTLE PILOT: Right away, sir.
FINN: Med pack! I need a med pack!
POE: She's hurt pretty bad. It's Kylo Ren. Luke's facing him alone.
FINN: Well, we should help him. Let's go.
POE: No, wait. Wait.
KYLO REN: Did you come back to say you forgive me? To save my soul?
LUKE: No.
POE: He's doing this for a reason. He's stalling so we can escape.
FINN: Escape? He's one man against an army. We have to help him, we have to fight.
POE: No, no. We are the spark that'll light the fire that will 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?
C-3PO: 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 15,428....
POE: Shh. Shush. Hush. Shush up. Shut up!
C-3PO: To one.
POE: Listen.
C-3PO: My audio sensors no longer detect the....
POE: Exactly.
FINN: Where'd the crystal critters go?
POE: Follow me.
LEIA: What are you looking at me for? Follow him.
REY: If the beacon's right beneath us, they've gotta be somewhere. Keep scanning for life forms.
POE: This way.
REY: I see them! Chewie, there!
POE: No. No, no, no. No!
REY: Lifting rocks.
LUKE: I failed you, Ben. I'm sorry.
KYLO REN: 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.
LUKE: 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.
KYLO REN: I'll destroy her, and you, and all of it.
LUKE: No. Strike me down in anger and I'll always be with you. Just like your father.
KYLO REN: No.
LUKE: See you around, kid.
KYLO REN: No!
POE: C'ai!
C-3PO: Such a friend.
LEIA: Chewie!
REY: It looks good.
KAYDEL KO CONNIX: That was crazy, man.
POE: Hi.
REY: Hi.
POE: I'm Poe.
REY: Rey.
POE: I know.
LARMA D'ACY: When we get to the Outer Rim, I have a contact there.
C-3PO: Quite definately possible.
REY: Luke is gone. I felt it. But it wasn't sadness or pain. It was peace and purpose.
LEIA: I felt it, too.
REY: How do we build a Rebellion from this?
LEIA: (puts her hand on Rey's and smiles) We have everything we need.
