If we can find it on our scanners,

the First Order is not far behind.

You want to get BB-8

to the Resistance.

Maz Kanata is our best bet.

We can trust her, right?

Relax, kid.

She's run this watering hole

for a thousand years.

Maz is a bit of an acquired taste,

so, let me do the talking.

And whatever you do, don't stare.

- At what?

- At what?

Any of it.

Han Solo!

Oh, boy

Hey, Maz.

Where's my boyfriend?

- Chewie's working in the Falcon.

- I like that Wookiee.

I assume you need something.

Desperately.

Let's get to it.

I'll be back.

Resistance spotted...

and your lost droid is here too.

Inform the First Order...

I found the droid.

Forgive me.

I feel it again.

The pull to the light.

The Supreme Commander senses it.

Show me again.

The power of the darkness.

And I will let nothing

stand in our way.

Show me...

... Grandfather.

And I will finish

what you started.

A map...

to Skywalker himself?

I need you to

get this droid to Leia.

No.

You've been running away

from this fight for too long.

Han.

Go home.

Leia doesn't want to see me.

Please, we came here for your help.

What fight?

The only fight

against the dark side.

Through the ages,

I've seen evil take many forms.

The Sith.

The Empire.

Today, it is the First Order.

Their shadows spreading across the galaxy.

We must face them.

Fight them.

All of us.

There is no fighting

against the First Order.

Not one we can win.

Look around.

There's no chance we haven't

been recognized us already.

I bet you the First Order

is on their way right...

What's this?

What are you doing?

Solo, what is she doing?

I don't know,

but it ain't good.

If you live long enough, you see

the same eyes in different people.

I'm looking at the eyes of a man

who wants to run.

You don't know a thing about me.

Where I'm from.

What I've seen.

You don't know the

First Order like I do.

They will slaughter us.

We all need to run.

Hm.

You see those two?

They'll trade work for

transportation to the Outer Rim.

There, you can disappear.

Finn?

Come with me.

What about BB-8?

We're not done yet.

We have to get him

back to your base.

You think?

He can't.

I can't.

Keep it, kid.

Who's the girl?

- What? What is it?

- Let him speak first.

I was told you can get me

to the Outer Rim.

What are you doing?

Don't leave without me.

You can't just go.

I won't let you.

I'm not who you think I am.

- Finn, what are you talking about?

- I'm not Resistance.

I'm not a hero.

I'm a Stormtrooper.

Like all of them, I was taken

from my family I'll never know.

And raised to do one thing.

In my first battle,

I made a choice.

I wasn't going to kill for them.

So I ran,

right into you.

You looked at me

like no one ever had.

I was ashamed of what I was.

But, I'm done with the First Order.

I'm never going back.

Rey, come with me.

Don't go.

Take care of yourself.

Please.

No!

No!

No!

Come back!

No!

Come back!

Come back!

No!

No!

His energy...

No!

Come back!

Quiet, girl.

No!

Rey?

These are your first steps.

What was that?

I shouldn't gone in here.

That lightsaber was Luke's.

And his father's before him.

And now, it call's to you.

I have to get back to Jakku.

Han told me.

Dear child, I see your eyes.

You already know the truth.

Whoever you're waiting for in Jakku.

They're never coming back.

But, there's someone who still could.

Luke.

The belonging you seek

is not behind you,

it is ahead.

I'm no Jedi,

but I know the Force.

It moves through and

surrounds every living thing.

Close your eyes.

Feel it .

The light...

it's always been there.

It will guide you.

The saber.

Take it.

I'm never touching

that thing again.

I don't want any part of this.

Today is the end of the Republic.

The end of a regime

that acquiesces to disorder.

At this very moment

in a system far from here,

the New Republic lies to the galaxy

while secretly supporting the treachery

of the rogues of the Resistance.

This fierce machine

which you have built,

upon which we stand

will bring an end to the Senate,

to their cherished fleet.

All remaining systems will bow

to the First Order!

and will remember this

as the last day of the Republic!

Confirm transfer to manual control.

Configure !

Fire!

Hosnian System

New Republic

Oh.

What is it?

That was New Republic.

The First Order, they've done it.

Where's Rey?

Mistress, are you alright?

What are you doing?

I see you running,

are you alright?

You have to go back.

- Where are you going?

- I'm leaving.

- BB-8...

- No.

No, you can't. You have to go back,

you're too important.

They'll help you.

I had this for ages.

I kept it locked away.

Where'd you get that?

A good question,

for another time.

Take it.

Find your friend!

Those beasts.

They're here.

FN-417, hold position.

Oh, safety.

Wow!

Sir.

The droid was spotted heading west.

With a girl.

You have to keep going,

stay out of sight.

- I'll try to fight them off.

- I hope they wont find us.

I hope so too.

Come on, Chewie!

Rey and BB-8! They need you!

Now! Go!

I need a weapon!

You have one!

Hey.

Can I try that?

I like this thing.

Traitor!

- You okay, "Big deal"?

- Thanks.

Don't move!

TK-338, we have targets in custody.

We have incoming in 28.6.

Move! Move!

Move! Move!

Scramble all squads!

Repeat, scramble all squads!

Take cover and

cover our mid field position!

It's the Resistance.

Go straight ahead at them!

Don't let these thugs scare you!

- Copy that.

- We're with you, Poe.

Quick!

Yeah!

That's one hell of a pilot!

The girl I heard so much about.

The droid.

Where is it?

We're going to need air support.

The map.

You've seen it.

Sir, Resistance fighters.

We need more troops.

Pull the division out.

Forget the droid.

We have what we need.

Fall back!

No!

No!

No, no!

No!

No!

Rey!

He took her.

Did you see it?

He took her.

She's gone.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Come on.

Goodness!

Han Solo!

It is I, C-3PO.

You probably don't recognize me

because of the red arm.

Look who it is!

Did you see who...?

Oh.

Eh.

Excuse me, Princess... General.

I'm sorry.

- Come on, BB-8, they're waiting.

- What an unusual arm you have.

Yes, I must have

my proper arm reinstall.

You changed your hair.

Same jacket.

No, new jacket.

I saw him.

Leia, I saw our son.

He was here.

Hey!

Poe!

BB-8, my friend.

Good to see you.

Finn saved you?

Where is he?

There.

Poe.

Poe Dameron, you're alive?

Why...

- so are you!

- What happened?

What happened, I was throw from the crash.

I woke up at night; no you, no ship, nothing

- BB-8 says that you saved him.

- No, no, no. It wasn't just me.

You completed my mission, Finn...

That's my jacket.

- Oh.

- No no no...

Keep it.

It suits you.

You're a good man, Finn.

Poe, I need your help.

PZ-4CO, report to communications.

General Organa.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

This is Finn.

- He needs to talk to you.

- And I need to talk to him.

That was incredibly brave,
