Description: After the battle of Starkiller Base, General Leia Organa leads the Resistance in evacuating their base when the First Order fleet arrives. Against Leia’s orders, Poe Dameron initiates a costly counterattack that destroys a First Order dreadnought. The surviving Resistance forces escape into hyperspace, but the First Order tracks them and attacks again. Kylo Ren hesitates to fire on the lead Resistance ship after sensing Leia’s presence, but his wingmen destroy the bridge, killing most of the Resistance leaders. Leia is pulled into space but survives using the Force. As she recovers, Vice-Admiral Holdo takes command of the Resistance. Low on fuel, the fleet is pursued by the First Order.
On Ahch-To, Rey tries to recruit Luke Skywalker to join the Resistance. Exiled and disillusioned, Luke initially refuses, believing the Jedi should end. However, after encouragement from R2-D2, he agrees to teach Rey three lessons about the Force. Rey and Kylo Ren begin communicating through the Force, baffling both. Kylo reveals that Luke once feared his power, leading to the destruction of Luke’s new Jedi Order. Convinced Kylo can be redeemed, Rey leaves Ahch-To.
Luke considers burning the Jedi library but hesitates. Yoda’s spirit appears and destroys the library with a lightning bolt, encouraging Luke to learn from his failures. Meanwhile, Poe sends Finn, mechanic Rose, and BB-8 on a mission to disable the First Order’s tracking device. Directed by Maz Kanata, they travel to Canto Bight, where they meet the hacker DJ. After escaping the town with the help of freed children and racing animals, they infiltrate Snoke’s flagship but are captured by Captain Phasma. Kylo brings Rey to Snoke, who reveals he connected their minds to locate Luke.
