what you did.

Renouncing the First Order,

saving this man's life.

Thank you, ma'am. But a friend

of mine was taken prisoner.

Han told me about the girl.

I'm sorry.

Finn's familiar with the weapon that

destroyed the Hosnian system,

he worked on the base.

We're just good for

anything you can tell us.

That's where my friend was taken.

I got to get there fast.

And I will do everything

I can to help, but first

you need to tell us

all you know.

That sounds very scary.

You must be so brave.

General, I regret to

inform you but

this map recovered from BB-8

is only partially complete.

And even worse, it matches

no charted system on record.

We simply do not have enough

information to locate Master Luke.

We are so foolish to think I could

find Luke and bring him home.

Leia.

Don't do that.

Do what?

Anything.

Princesses.

I'm trying to be helpful.

When did that ever help?

And don't say the Death Star.

R2, I need your help.

Wake up, R2.

BB-8.

You're wasting your time.

He might have the map.

It is very doubtful that R2 would have the

rest of the map in his backup data.

- Can't we wake him?

- I am afraid not.

R2-D2 has been in low power mode

ever since Master Luke went away.

Sadly, he may never

be his own self again.

Poor R2.

Listen to me, will you?

I know every time you...

Every time you look me,

you're reminded of him.

Do you think

I want to forget him?

I want him back.

There's nothing more

we could have done

There's too much Vader in him.

That's why I wanted him

to be trained with Luke.

I just never should had sent

him away, thats when I lost him.

That's when I lost you both.

We both had to deal with it

in our own way.

I went back to the only thing

I was only good at.

We both did.

We lost our son.

Forever.

No.

It was Snoke.

He seduced our son

to the dark side.

But we can still save him.

Me.

You.

If Luke couldn't reach him,

how could I?

Luke is a Jedi.

You're his father.

There's still light in him,

I know it.

General.

The reconnaissance report

on the enemy base is coming.

Where am I?

You're my guest.

Where are the others?

Do you mean the murderers, traitors

and thieves, you called friends?

You'll be relieved to hear

I have no idea.

You still want to kill me.

That happens when you're being

haunting by a contort mask.

Tell me about the droid.

He's a BB unit with a selenium drive

and a thermal hyperscan vindicator...

Carrying a section of a navigation chart.

We have the rest.

Recovered from the archives of the Empire,

but we need the last piece.

Yet somehow you convinced

the droid to show it to you.

You,

a scavenger.

You know I can take

whatever I want.

You're so lonely.

So afraid to leave.

At night, desperate to sleep.

Imagine an ocean.

I see it.

I see the island.

And Han Solo.

You feel like he's a father

you never had.

He would have disappointed you.

Get out of my head!

I know you've seen the map.

It's in there.

And now you'll give it to me.

Don't be afraid.

I feel it too.

I'm not giving you anything.

We'll see.

You...

you're afraid...

that you will never be

as strong as Darth Vader!

This scavenger

resisted you!

She is strong with the Force.

Untrained, but stronger than she knows.

And the droid?

Ren believed it was

no longer valuable to us.

That the girl,

is all we needed.

As a result, the Droid is most likely been

returned to the hands of the enemy.

They may have the map already.

Then the Resistance must be destroyed

before they get to Skywalker.

We have their location.

We tracked their reconnaissance

team to the Ileenium System.

Good.

Then we will crash them

once and for all.

Prepare the weapon.

Supreme Leader, I can get

the map from the girl.

I just need your guidance.

If what you say

about this girl is true...

Bring her to me.

You will remove these restraints

and leave this cell

with the door open.

What did you say?

You will remove these restraints

and leave this cell

with the door open.

I will tighten those restraints,

scavenger scum!

You will remove these restraints

and leave this cell

with the door open.

I will remove these restraints

and leave this cell

with the door open.

And you'll drop your gun.

And I'll drop my gun.

No.

Guards!

Guards!

Begin charging the weapon.

Yes, sir.

Weapon charging.

The scan Data from Snap's reconnaissance

flight confirms Finn's report.

They somehow created a hyper lightspeed

weapon built within the planet itself.

A laser cannon?

We're not sure how to describe

a weapon of this scale.

It's another Death Star.

I wish that were the case, Major.

This was the Death Star.

And this,

is Starkiller base.

So, it's big.

How is it possible to power up

a weapon of that size?

They uses the power of the sun.

As the weapon is charge,

the sun is drained until it disappears.

Ma'am.

The First Order charging

their weapon again, now.

Our system is the next charge.

Oh, my.

Without the Republic fleet, we're doom.

Okay.

How do we blow it up?

- There is always a way to do that.

- Han's right.

In order for that amount

of power to be contained,

that base has to have some kind

of thermal oscillator.

There is one.

Precinct 47.

Here.

If we can destroy that oscillator,

it might destabilize the core

and cripple the weapon.

Maybe the planet.

We'll go in there, we'll hit that

oscillator with everything we got.

They have defensive shields that

our ships cannot penetrate.

We disable the shields.

Kid, you worked there.

- What do you got?

- I can do it.

I like this guy.

I can seal the shields, but I have

to be there, on the planet.

- We'll get you there.

- Han, how?

If I told you,

you wouldn't like it

So, we disable the shields,

we take out the oscillator

and we blow up the big gun.

Alright, let's go!

Chewie, check that thermal capitator.

Come on, let's go!

Hey, be careful with those.

They're explosives.

Now, you tell me?

You know?

No matter how much we fought,

I always hated watching you leave.

That's why I did it

So you'd miss me.

I did miss you.

It wasn't all bad, was it?

Huh?

Some of it was... good.

Pretty good.

Some things never change.

True.

You still drive me crazy.

If you see our son,

bring him home.

Sir. Sensors triggered in Hanger 718.

We're searching the area.

She's just beginning

to test her powers.

The longer it takes to find her,

the more dangerous she becomes.

How're we getting in?

Their shields have a

fractional refresh rate.

It keeps anything traveling slower

than lightspeed from getting through.

We're making our landing

approach at lightspeed?

Chewie, get ready.

And... Now!

I am pulling up!

I get any higher, they'll see us!

Sir, she was not found in hanger 718,

but all troops are on alert.

Put every hanger on lockdown.

She's going to try to

steal a ship to escape.

Han Solo.

The flooding tunnel

is over that ridge.

We'll get in that way.

What was your job when

you were based here?
