ActualEnd

Then he's our last hope.
Master Yoda.
Young Skywalker.
I'm ending all of this.
The tree, the text, the Jedi.
I'm gonna burn it down.
Hmm.
(LAUGHING)
Ah, Skywalker.
Missed you, have I.
(GRUNTS)
So it is time
for the Jedi Order to end.
Time it is.
Hmm.
For you to look past a pile of old books, hmm?
The sacred Jedi texts.
Oh. Read them, have you?
-Well, I... -Page-turners
they were not.
Yes, yes, yes.
Wisdom they held,
but that library contained nothing that the girl Rey
does not already possess.
Skywalker,
still looking to the horizon.
Never here, now, hmm?
The need in front of your nose.
Hmm?
I was weak.
Unwise.
Lost Ben Solo, you did.
Lose Rey, we must not.
I can't be what she needs me to be.
Heeded my words not, did you?
Pass on what you have learned.
Strength, mastery.
But weakness,
folly, failure also.
Yes, failure most of all.
The greatest teacher, failure is.
(YODA GRUNTING)
Luke,
we are what they grow beyond.
That is the true burden of all masters.
Four parsecs to go. This thing really cooks.
I just hope we're in time.
You can actually do this, right?
Yeah, about that...
Guys, I can do it.
But there exists a pre-'do it' conversation about price.
Once we're done, the Resistance
will give you whatever you want.
What you got deposit-wise?
Are you kidding me? Look at us.
Is that Haysian smelt?
That's something.
No, we gave you our word. You're gonna get paid.
That should be enough.
DJ: Guys, I wanna keep helping.
But no something, n-n-no doing.
Okay, listen here, you've got...
Do it.
Now I can help.
Give it back.
DJ: What?
FINN: Give it back!
You have no idea how much that medallion means to her.
What are you... Why are you ransacking your own ship?
(SIGHS)
It's not your ship.
(BB-8 CHIRPING)
He says I stole it.
-Yeah, I got that. -We stole it.
(BB-8 CHIRPS)
At least you're stealing from the bad guys
and helping the good.
Good guys, bad guys,
made-up words.
Let's see who formerly owned this gorgeous hunk-uh.
Ah, this guy was an arms dealer.
Made his bank selling weapons to the bad guys.
Oh...
And the good.
Finn, let me learn you something big.
It's all a machine, partner.
Live free, don't join.
That was the last of their support ships.
It's just their main cruiser now.
And their fuel reserve?
By our calculation,
critical.
She in there?
The admiral's banned you from the bridge.
-Let's not have a scene. -No, let's.
POE: Holdo?
D'ACY: You're not allowed in here.
-Flyboy. -Cut it, lady.
We had a fleet, now we're down to one ship,
and you've told us nothing!
Tell us that we have a plan!
That there's hope!
When I served under Leia,
she would say, hope is like the sun.
If you only believe in it when you can see it...
You'll never make it through the night.
Yes.
(POE SIGHS)
Are you fueling up the transports?
You are.
All of them?
We're abandoning ship? Is that...
That's what you got? That's what you brought us to?
Coward!
Those transport ships are unarmed, unshielded.
We abandon this cruiser, we're done.
We don't stand a chance. No, you are not just a coward,
you are a traitor.
Get this man off my bridge.
POE: (ON RADIO) Finn, Holdo's loading the crew
in the shuttle.
She's going to abandon ship. Where are you?
Poe, we're on our way back to the fleet.
We're so close.
Did you find the master codebreaker?
Well, we found a codebreaker.
We can shut the tracker down.
Just buy us a little more time.
All right. Hurry.
As soon as I launch, you jump back out of range.
Stay there until you get my signal
for where to rendezvous.
(R-D BEEPS)
-(CHEWIE GROWLS) -If you see Finn before I do,
tell him...
(CHEWIE GROWLS)
Yeah, perfect. Tell him that.
(CHEWIE GRUNTS)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(GASPS)
DJ: Cloaking our approach. We should be off their scopes.
Then we slice a slit in their shield.
Blip bloppity bloop,
and slip right through.
(BUZZING)
(BUZZING STOPS)
So a Stormtrooper and a who now are doing what?
They are trying to save us.
This is our best chance for escape.
You have to give Finn and Rose all the time that you can.
You have bet the survival of the Resistance
on bad odds and put us all at risk.
There's no time now.
We have to get clear of the cruiser.
Load the transports.
CREW MEMBER: Right away, admiral.
Yeah, I was afraid you'd say that.
-(GUNS COCKING) -Vice Admiral Holdo,
I am relieving you of your command
for the survival of this ship, its crew, and the Resistance.
I hope you understand what you're doing.
Yeah.
-I'm going to the bridge. -(C'AI GRUNTS)
If they move, stun them.
(BB-8 CHIRPS)
OFFICER : ...at least three cycles so far.
OFFICER : Yes, sir. We are working on it.
(BB-8 IMITATING MOUSE DROID)
(BB-8 WHIRRING CONFUSEDLY)
OFFICER : I will do my best, sir.
(BB-E CHIRPING INQUISITIVELY)
Almost there.
You don't have to do this.
I feel the conflict in you.
It's tearing you apart.
Ben, when we touched hands,
I saw your future.
Just the shape of it, but solid and clear.
You will not bow before Snoke.
You'll turn.
(WHISPERING) I'll help you.
I saw it.
I saw something, too.
Because of what I saw,
I know when the moment comes, you'll be the one to turn.
You'll stand with me.
Rey,
I saw who your parents are.
Well done, my good and faithful apprentice.
My faith in you is restored.
Young Rey.
Welcome.
(BB-8 CHIRPS)
FINN: So this is it.
The tracker's right behind this door.
(INDISTINCT PA CHATTER)
(ZAPS)
DJ: Haysian smelt.
Best conductor.
And you're welcome.
Good time to figure out how we get back to the fleet?
I know where the nearest escape pods are.
Course you do.
POE: BB-8, tell me something good.
(BB-8 CHIRPS)
Poe, we're almost there.
Have the cruiser prepped for lightspeed.
Yeah, I'm on it, pal. You just hurry.
Clear the bridge, escort the officers down to the hangar.
C-3PO: Commander... Captain Dameron,
Admiral Holdo was looking for you.
Yeah, we spoke.
Sir, I am almost afraid to ask.
Good instinct, Threepio. Go with that.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(GUARDS EXCLAIMING)
(GRUNTS)
Seal that door!
We're running out of time.
FINN: Come on, how's it going?
Almost there.
Threepio, where do you think you're going?
It would be quite against my programming
-to be party to a mutiny. -Hey!
It is not correct protocol.
Oh! Neither is this!
Finn? We're ready to make the jump!
Now or never.
-Now. -(MACHINE PROCESSING)
(CRACKLING)
You're up.
(BB-E BLEEPING)
STORMTROOPER : You there, hands up!
STORMTROOPER : Watch 'em, watch 'em.
STORMTROOPER : Drop your weapons, now!
STORMTROOPER : Hands up, Rebel scum.
STORMTROOPER : Get down! I said, down!
(BB-8 CHIRPS SOFTLY)
(BB-E WHIRRING)
FN-.
So good to have you back.
They didn't make it.
Leia.
(ALARM BLARING)
MALE PA ANNOUNCER: Please board the transports
according to your evacuation designation.
All transports must be cleared...
GURNEY OPERATOR: Okay, help me push him up, guys.
HOLDO: That one's a troublemaker.
I like him.
Me, too.
Now, time to board your transport.
For the transports to escape,
someone needs to stay behind and pilot the cruiser.
Too many losses.
I can't take any more.
Sure you can.
You taught me how.
BOTH: May the Force be...
(BOTH CHUCKLING)
You go on. I've said it enough.
May the Force be with you always.
FEMALE PILOT: (ON RADIO) Cloaking device activated.
We should be off their scopes.
Let's hope this works.
(HANDCUFFS BEEPING)
Come closer, child.
So much strength.
Darkness rises,
and light to meet it.
I warned my young apprentice
that as he grew stronger,
his equal in the light would rise.
Skywalker...
(CHUCKLING) I assumed.
Wrongly.
Closer, I said.
REY: You underestimate Skywalker,
and Ben Solo,
and me.
It will be your downfall.
(WHISPERS) Oh...
Have you seen something?
A weakness in my apprentice.
Is that why you came?
(LAUGHS)
Young fool.
It was I who bridged your minds.
I stoked Ren's conflicted soul.
I knew he was not strong enough to hide it from you.
And you were not wise enough to resist the bait.
And now,
you will give me Skywalker.
(REY BREATHING HEAVILY)
Then I will kill you
with the cruelest stroke.
No.
Yes.
(GRUNTS)
Give me
everything.
REY: No! No!
No!
(SCREAMS)
(GASPS)
No. No.
No, no, no!
LEIA: Poe.
What is that?
D'ACY: The mineral planet, Crait.
An uncharted hideout from the days of the Rebellion.
-That's a Rebel base? -Abandoned,
but heavily armored
with enough power
to get a distress signal to our allies
scattered in the Outer Rim.
LEIA: Holdo knew the First Order
was tracking our big ship.
They're not monitoring for little transports.
So we could slip down to the surface unnoticed
and hide till the First Order passes.
That could work.
She was more interested
in protecting the light than she was
seeming like a hero.
Godspeed,
Rebels.
(ROSE GRUNTS)
Well done, Phasma.
Your ship and payment, as we agreed.
You lying snake.
(ROSE STRUGGLING)
We got caught,
I cut a d-d-deal.
Wait,
cut a deal with what?
Sir, we checked on the information from the thief.
We ran a decloaking scan, and sure enough,
Resistance transports
have just launched from the cruiser.
He told us the truth.
Will wonders never cease?
No.
Our weapons are ready?
Ready and aimed, sir.
Fire at will.
Wait. No, no. No, you can't!
No!
(PANICKED MURMURING)
PILOT: Admiral, we're taking fire!
-Do we turn around? -No, you're too far out.
Full speed to planetfall.
Full speed!
(GROANS)
(LAUGHING) Well, well,
I did not expect Skywalker to be so wise.
We will give him and the Jedi Order
the death he desires.
After the Rebels are gone,
we will go to his planet
and obliterate the entire island.
(REY YELPING)
SNOKE: Such spunk.
Look here now.
(STRUGGLING)
SNOKE: The entire Resistance on those transports...
Soon they will all be gone.
For you, all is lost.
Ooh. And still that fiery spit of hope.
You have the spirit of a true Jedi!
(GRUNTING)
And because of that,
you must die.
(STRUGGLING)
My worthy apprentice,
son of darkness, heir apparent to Lord Vader.
Where there was conflict, I now sense resolve.
Where there was weakness, strength.
Complete your training,
and fulfill your destiny.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
I know what I have to do.
Ben.
(SNOKE LAUGHING)
You think you can turn him?
Pathetic child.
I cannot be betrayed,
I cannot be beaten.
I see his mind,
I see his every intent.
Yes.
I see him turning the lightsaber to strike true.
And now,
foolish child,
he ignites it,
and kills his true enemy!
(LIGHTSABER ACTIVATING)
(LIGHTSABER ACTIVATING)
Come on, give it full thrusters. Full speed!
I am, sir.
You murdering bastard!
T-T-Take it easy, Big F.
They blow you up today, you blow them up tomorrow.
It's just business.
You're wrong.
Maybe.

REY: Ben!
The fleet.
Order them to stop firing.
There's still time to save the fleet.
Ben?
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.
Don't do this, Ben.
Please don't go this way.
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.
They were nobody.
They were filthy junk traders
who sold you off for drinking money.
(SOBS)
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.
Sir,
the Resistance cruiser's
preparing to jump to lightspeed.
It's empty.
They're just trying to pull our attention away.
Pathetic.
Keep your fire on the transports.
(BOTH PANTING)
PHASMA: Execution by blaster is too good for them.
Let's make this hurt.
ROSE: Finn.
(WEAPONS BUZZING)
On my command.
She's running away.
No, she isn't.
(INSTRUMENTS BEEPING)
-No! -Fire on that cruiser!
(STRAINING)
(GROANING)

There's a shuttle back that way! We gotta go!
-Traitor! -(BLASTER POWERING UP)

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

(ROSE YELPS)
(FINN SHOUTING)
You are a bug in the system.
Let's go, chrome dome.
(FINN GRUNTING)
Come on!
No!
Hey.
(PHASMA GROANS)
You were always scum.
Rebel scum.
(BB-8 CHIRPING)
Hey! Need a lift?
What happened?
The girl murdered Snoke.
What happened?
She took Snoke's escape craft.
We know where she's going.
Get all our forces down to that Resistance base.
Let's finish this.
Finish this?
Who do you think you're talking to?
You presume to command my army?
Our Supreme Leader is dead! We have no ruler!
(CHOKING)
The Supreme Leader is dead.
Long live the Supreme Leader.
(SPACECRAFT APPROACHING)
They're coming, shut the door.
(CREATURES WHIMPERING)

POE: Go! Go! Move!
Get that shield door down!
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

No! Don't shoot!
Hold your fire!
FINN: Don't shoot! POE: Hold your fire!
LEIA: Finn? POE: Finn!
Rose! You're not dead!
Where's my droid?
(BB-8 CHIRPING EXCITEDLY)
Buddy!
-I'm so glad to see you! -(BB-8 CHIRPING HAPPILY)
POE: Wait, what? Wait, wait, wait, slow down.
Is this all that's left?
All right, shields are up
so they can't hit us from orbit.
Use whatever power we've got left
to broadcast a distress signal to the Outer Rim.
Use my personal code.
If there are any allies to the Resistance,
it's now or never.
Rose, what do you got?
Rotting munitions, rusted artillery,
some half-gutted skim speeders.
Well,
let's just pray that big-ass door
holds long enough for us to get help.
(DISTANT RUMBLING)
(CREATURES BARKING)
FINN: A battering ram cannon.
A what now?
Miniaturized Death Star tech.
It'll crack that door open like an egg.
There has to be a back way out of here, right?
(BB-8 CHIRPING)
POE: BB-8, what do you got?
C-3PO: BB-8 has analyzed the mine's schematics.
This is the only way in or out.
(DISTANT RUMBLING)
(WALLS CREAKING)
Come on.
We have allies.
People believe in Leia.
They'll get our message, they'll come.
But we have to buy time.
We gotta take out that cannon.
SOLDIER : On me! On me!
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
SOLDIER : Move! Move!
Go back! Gather your weapons!
SOLDIER : Get over here!
SOLDIER : Hold your fire!
Salt.
SOLDIER : Ground forces, incoming.
POE: (ON RADIO) Copy that. On our way.
Engage your mono-ski.
The green toggle.
(GRUNTS)
All right, listen up.
I don't like these rust buckets
and I don't like our odds, but...
What the hell?
Just keep it tight
and don't get drawn in too close
till they roll that cannon out front.
All right, ground forces, lay down some fire!
Thirteen incoming light craft.
Shall we hold until we clear them?
No. The Resistance is in that mine.
Push through.
Fighters, break off!
Come on! We gotta hold them till they pull up that cannon!
(SPEAKING ALIEN DIALECT)
(SOLDIERS GROANING)
Rose, you got three right behind you!
I can't lose 'em!
Whoo! Yeah!
(CHEWIE GROWLS)
(PORG GROWLS)
Whoo! I like this!
Blow that piece of junk out of the sky!
All fighters!
Chewie, peel off from the battle.
Draw them away from the speeders.
(CHEWIE GROWLS)
She drew 'em off! All of 'em!
Oh, they hate that ship!
(PORG CHIRPING)
Chewie!
(CHEWIE GROWLS)
(PORG CRYING)
(CHEWIE GROWLS)
(SCREAMS)
There it is!
That is a big gun.
FINN: Okay, it's heavily armored.
Our only shot is right down the throat.
The cannon's opening. This is our chance.
All firepower on those speeders.
Concentrate all fire on the speeders!
We're taking heavy losses.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
(SCREAMS)
(YELPS)
They're picking us all off. We're not gonna make it.
FINN: All right, making my final approach.
Target in sight, guns are hot.
No! Pull off!
What?
The cannon is charged! It's a suicide run!
All craft, pull away!
-No! I'm almost there! -POE: Retreat, Finn!
That's an order!
Finn? It's too late! Don't do this!
No! I won't let them win!
No! Finn, listen to Poe!
We have to retreat!

SOLDIER : Let's go, let's go!
(GRUNTING)
Rose?
Rose?
Rose?
Why would you do that? Huh?
I was almost there.
Why would you stop me?
I saved you,
dummy.
That's how we're gonna win.
Not fighting what we hate,
saving what we love.
KYLO REN: General Hux,
advance.
No quarter.
No prisoners.
Our distress signal's been received at multiple points,
but no response.
They've heard us,
but no one's coming.
We fought till the end.
But the galaxy has lost all its hope.
The spark
is out.
Luke.
I know what you're gonna say.
I changed my hair.
It's nice that way.
Leia,
I'm sorry.
I know.
I know you are.
I'm just glad you're here
at the end.
I came to face him, Leia.
And I can't save him.
I held out hope for so long,
but I know my son is gone.
No one's ever really gone.
C-3PO: Master Luke.
Stop!
(MACHINERY CREAKING)
I want every gun we have to fire on that man.
Do it.
More!
More!
That's enough.
(SHOUTING) That's enough!
(GUNS DEACTIVATING)
Do you think you got him?
Now, if we're ready to get moving,
we can finish this.
Sir?
(EXHALES SHAKILY)
Bring me down to him.
Keep the door covered and don't advance until I say.
Supreme Leader,
don't get distracted, our goal...
(HUX YELPS)
Right away, sir.
Med pack!
I need a med pack!
She's hurt pretty bad.
It's Kylo Ren.
Luke's facing him alone.
Well, we should help him. Let's go.
No, wait. Wait.
Did you come back to say you forgive me?
To save my soul?
No.
He's doing this for a reason.
He's stalling so we can escape.
Escape?
He's one man against an army.
We have to help him, we have to fight.
No, no. We are the spark that'll light the fire
that'll burn the First Order down.
Skywalker's doing this so we can survive.
There's gotta be a way out of this mine.
Hell, how did he get in here?
Sir, it is possible
that a natural unmapped opening exists.
But this facility is such a maze of endless tunnels
that the odds of finding an exit
-are ,... -Shh. Shush. Hush. Shush up.
Shut up!
-To one. -Listen.
C-3PO: My audio sensors no longer detect the...

Where'd the crystal critters go?

And when I kill you,

Amazing.
Every word of what you just said
was wrong.
The Rebellion is reborn today.
The war
is just beginning.
And I will not be the last Jedi.
I'll destroy her,

No.
Strike me down in anger and I'll always be with you.
