For over a thousand generations,
the Jedi knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the old Republic.
Before the dark times.
Before the Empire.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Invasion.
We must continue to rely on negotiation.
There is something else behind all this, Your Highness.
Begin landing your troops.
A droid army is about to attack the Naboo.
We must warn them.
I will not condone a course of action that will lead us to war.
This is my apprentice
Darth Maul.
At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi.
At last we will have revenge.
You have been well-trained, my young apprentice.
They will be no match for you.
You're a Jedi knight, aren't you?
How did you end up out here in the outer rim?
We're on our way to Coruscant,
the central system in the Republic on a very important mission.
Our ship was damaged, and we're stranded here until we can repair it.
I can help.
There's something about this boy.
Over 20,000.
Even Master Yoda doesn't have a Midi-chlorian count that high.
No Jedi has.
Who was his father?
There was no father.
I can't explain what happened.
Can you help him?
I don't know.
These junk dealers must have a weakness of some kind.
Gambling.
There is no other way.
Podracing.
I'm the only human who can do it.
Remember, concentrate on the moment.
Feel, don't think.
Use your instincts.
I will.
May the Force be with you.
Are you sure about this?
Trusting our fate to a boy we hardly know?
He can help you.
Our meeting was not a coincidence.
Nothing happens by accident.
He was meant to help you.
And there goes Skywalker!
Go, Ani, go!
He will be hard-pressed to catch up with the leaders.
Our people are dying, Senator.
Our best choice would be to push for the election...
If this body is not capable of action...
I suggest new leadership is needed.
Now they will elect a new chancellor...
one who will not let our tragedy continue.
You're no longer a slave.
Is he to become a Jedi?
Anakin! Drop!
Qui-Gon's in trouble.
He was trained in the Jedi arts.
My only conclusion can be that it was a Sith lord.
More to say have you?
I have encountered a vergence in the Force.
You refer to the prophecy of the one who will bring balance to the Force.
Trained as a Jedi you request for him, hmm?
Finding him was the will of the Force.
The boy is dangerous.
They all sense it, why can't you?
Fear is the path to the dark side.
Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to suffering.
No!
He is the chosen one.
He will bring balance.
Train him.
Be brave and don't look back.
Don't look back.
The council have granted me permission to train you.
You will be a Jedi,
I promise.
I will not let this Republic that has stood for a thousand years be split in two.
Do you have any idea who was behind this attack?
The dark side clouds everything.
May I suggest the senator be placed under the protection of your graces?
You’re sweating.
I haven't seen her in ten years, Master.
Ani?
My goodness, you've grown.
Anakin, escort the senator back to her home planet of Naboo.
She'll be safer there.
I do hope he doesn't try anything foolish.
I'd be more concerned about her doing something than him.
Track down this bounty hunter you must, Obi-Wan.
I'm looking for a planetary system called Kamino.
Master Jedi.
The prime minister is expecting you.
This army is for the Republic.
The army?
One of the finest we've ever created.
Magnificent, aren’t they?
They are using a bounty hunter named Jango Fett to create a clone army.
They'll do their job well.
I'll guarantee that.
Just being around her again is intoxicating.
Must be difficult, having sworn your life to the Jedi
not being able to do the things you like.
Or be with the people that I love.
Are you allowed to love?
I thought that was forbidden for a Jedi.
No.
Anakin. Help me.
I don’t sleep well anymore.
She is in pain.
I have to help her.
My son.
Why couldn’t I save her?
Stay with me, Mom.
I know I could have.
Everything--
I love--
You're not all-powerful.
Anakin!
Well, I should be!
No!
Someday I will be.
I will be the most powerful Jedi ever!
I will even learn to stop people from dying.
This is a crisis.
The senate must vote the chancellor emergency powers.
What if I told you that the Republic was now under the control of the dark lord of the Sith?
I will create a grand army of the Republic
to counter the increasing threats of the separatists.
You must join me, Obi-Wan
and together we will destroy the Sith!
From the moment I met you all those years ago
not a day has gone by when I haven't thought of you.
I've been dying a little bit each day since you came back into my life.
Be mindful of your thoughts, Anakin. They betray you.
You've made a commitment to the Jedi Order,
a commitment not easily broken.
We could keep it a secret.
We'd be living a lie...
and that it would destroy our lives.
I wasn't strong enough to save you, Mom.
But I promise I won't fail again.
The shroud of the dark side has fallen.
Begun the Clone War has.
I sense great fear in you, Skywalker.
The end of the war is near.
Soon I will have a new apprentice.
They want me to spy on the chancellor?
That's treason.
We are at war, Anakin.
It's very dangerous, putting them together.
I don't think the boy can handle it.
I know there are things about the Force that they're not telling me.
They don't trust you, Anakin.
I'm not the Jedi I should be.
I want more.
Be careful of the Jedi, Anakin.
Something wonderful has happened.
Ani, I'm pregnant.
We're not gonna worry about anything right now.
This is the happiest moment of my life.
I know what's been troubling you.
It was a dream.
You die in childbirth.
Learn to know the dark side of the Force...
I won't lose you the way I lost my mother.
You do know, don't you,
if the Jedi destroy me, any chance of saving her will be lost.
Anakin, I told you it would come to this.
The Jedi are taking over.
I am going to end this once and for all.
He must live.
I need him.
Don't.
No!
The time has come.
What have I done?
Execute Order 66.
Every single Jedi is now an enemy of the Republic.
The remaining Jedi will be hunted down and defeated.
Who could have done this?
Twisted by the dark side young Skywalker has become.
Do what must be done, Lord Vader.
Do not hesitate.
Show no mercy.
The boy you trained, gone he is...
Consumed by Darth Vader.
Once more the Sith will rule the galaxy!
And we shall have peace.
I am becoming more powerful than any Jedi has ever dreamed of.
And I'm doing it for you.
To protect you.
You're a good person. Don't do this.
Destroy the Sith we must.
I have failed you, Anakin.
I have failed you.
I should have known the Jedi were plotting to take over.
Come away with me.
Leave everything else behind while we still can.
Don't you see?
We don't have to run away any more.
I have brought peace to the Republic.
You will not stop me.
Darth Vader will become more powerful than either of us.
And together, you and I can rule the galaxy...
make things the way we want them to be.
In order to ensure the security and continuing stability
the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire!
Anakin, you're breaking my heart.
You're going down a path I can't follow.
Because of Obi-Wan?
Because of what you've done.
What you plan to do.
The Jedi turned against me.
Don't you turn against me.
You were my brother, Anakin.
Stop! Stop now. Come back.
I loved you. I love you.
Liar!
You were the chosen one!
It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them!
Bring balance to the Force, not leave it in darkness!
Obi-Wan, there's good in him.
I know.
I know there's still---
Lord Vader.
Yes, Master.
Rise.
Hidden, safe the children must be kept.
I will take the child and watch over him.
Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi.
You are my only hope.
Who is she?
She's beautiful.
You know, I think that R2 unit we bought might have been stolen.
What makes you think that?
Well, I stumbled across a recording while I was cleaning him.
He says he belongs to someone called Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Now, that's a name I've not heard in a long time.
Luke's just not a farmer, Owen.
He has too much of his father in him.
I was once a Jedi knight, the same as your father.
How did my father die?
A young Jedi named Darth Vader helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights.
He betrayed and murdered your father.
Now the Jedi are all but extinct.
General Kenobi,
years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars.
Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire.
I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person,
but my ship has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed.
I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit.
My father will know how to retrieve it.
You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan.
This is our most desperate hour.
Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi,
you're my only hope.
You must learn the ways of the Force if you're to come with me to Alderaan.
I can't get involved. I've got work to do.
I need your help, Luke.
She needs your help.
It's not that I like the Empire. I hate it.
But there's nothing I can do about it right now.
Learn about the Force, Luke.
I want to come with you to Alderaan.
There's nothing here for me now.
I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father.
Han Solo.
I'm captain of the Millennium Falcon.
What a piece of junk!
You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?
It's the ship that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.
What's going on?
Our position's correct, except no Alderaan.
What do you mean? Where is it?
Destroyed by the Empire.
This station is now the ultimate power in the universe.
That's no moon. It's a space station.
It's too big to be a space station.
Princess?
Where? Where is she?
Luke! We're gonna have company!
I'm Luke Skywalker. I'm here to rescue you.
I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan.
What the hell are you doing?
Somebody has to save our skins.
If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
Hang on tight, R2. You've got to come back.
Lock S-foils in attack position.
Use the Force, Luke.
The Force?
The Force is what gives a Jedi his power.
It's an energy field created by all living things.
It surrounds us, penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together.
The Force is strong with this one.
Luke, you switched off your targeting computer.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I'm all right.
I got him!
Great, kid! Don't get cocky.
Yahoo!
You're all clear, kid! Now let's blow this thing and go home!
Great shot, kid! That was one in a million!
Hey!
Hey! I knew you'd come back. I just knew it.
Well, I wasn't going to let you get all the credit and take all the reward.
Hey, I knew there was more to you than money.
The Force will be with you
always.
An imperial probe droid.
The rebels are there.
We'd better start the evacuation.
There is a great disturbance in the Force.
Luke!
You will go to the Dagobah system.
There you will learn from Yoda.
The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi.
This bucket of bolts will never get past that blockade.
This baby's got a few surprises left in her, sweetheart.
We're not gonna regroup with the others.
We're going to the Dagobah system.
I don't know how we're gonna get out of this one.
What are you doing?
You're not actually going into an asteroid field?
Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720-to-1.
Never tell me the odds.
I know! I know!
Just hang on.
You do have your moments.
Not many of them, but you do have them.
What did you have in mind for your next move?
This is interesting.
Lando.
How you doin’ you old pirate?
I'm looking for a great warrior.
Oh, great warrior.
Wars not make one great.
Yoda...
The boy has no patience.
Much anger in him
like his father.
I won’t fail you.
A Jedi's strength flows from the Force.
But beware of the dark side.
Oh, no.
We'll never get it out now.
So certain are you.
I can't.
It's too big.
Size matters not.
For my ally is the Force.
And a powerful ally it is.
Life creates it.
Its energy surrounds us and binds us.
Luminous beings are we,
not this crude matter.
You must feel the Force around you.
I don't believe it.
That is why you fail.
I can't keep the vision out of my head. They're my friends. I've got to help them.
You must not go.
But Han and Leia will die if I don't.
I love you.
I know.
If you choose to face Vader, you will do it alone.
The Force is with you, young Skywalker.
But you are not a Jedi yet.
I'll never join you!
Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.
I am your father.
No!
Ben, why didn't you tell me?
That boy is our last hope.
No, there is another.
Leia...
Luke...
Son, come with me.
Princess, we'll find Han.
I promise.
Take care, you two.
May the Force be with you.
Who are you?
Someone who loves you.
We have powerful friends.
You're going to regret this.
Greetings, Exalted One.
I am Luke Skywalker.
A Jedi knight?
You can either profit by this or be destroyed.
It's your choice but I warn you not to underestimate my powers.
Hey, Luke, thanks for coming after me.
Now I owe you one.
I'll meet you back at the fleet.
I've come back to complete the training.
No more training do you require.
Then I am a Jedi.
Not yet...
One thing remains...
You cannot escape your destiny.
The Death Star will be completed on the schedule.
The emperor's made a critical error and the time for our attack has come.
The shield must be deactivated
if any attack is to be attempted.
Soon the rebellion will be crushed and young Skywalker will be one of us.
Admiral, we're in position.
All fighters accounted for.
His compassion for you will be his undoing.
Your overconfidence is your weakness.
Your faith in your friends is yours.
From here, you will witness the final destruction of the Alliance
and the end of your insignificant rebellion.
Break off the attack!
The shield is still up.
It's a trap!
Take your weapon.
Strike me down with all of your hatred!
Luke, tell me. What's troubling you?
Give yourself to the dark side.
He's my father.
But why must you confront him?
Because there is good in him. I've felt it.
Your thoughts betray you, father.
I can save him. I can turn him back to the good side.
Your thoughts betray you.
Your feelings for them are strong
especially for
sister.
It’s you, Leia.
If I don't make it back, you're the only hope for the Alliance.
Your feelings have now betrayed her, too.
Search your feelings, father.
You can't do this.
I feel the conflict within you. Let go of your hate.
Use your aggressive feelings, boy.
Let the hate flow through you.
You underestimate the power of the dark side.
If you will not turn then perhaps she will.
Never!
Your hate has made you powerful.
Now,
fulfill your destiny
and take your father's place at my side.
Never.
I'll never turn to the dark side.
If you will not be turned,
you will be destroyed.
You've failed, Your Highness.
Father, please!
I am a Jedi
like my father before me.
Father.
I'll not leave you here. I've got to save you.
You already have, Luke.
Leia,
do you remember your mother,
your real mother?
Just a little bit.
She died when I was very young.
Leia...
She was very beautiful.
Kind,
but sad.
Luke...
Oh, Luke..
Luke...
You were right.
You were right about me.
Tell your sister
you were right.
Where'd you come from?
Classified, really?
Yup.
Me too.
Big secret.
I know all about waiting...
For my family.
They'll be back,
one day.
This will begin to make things right.
This is a rescue.
I'm helping you escape.
Why are you helping me?
Because it's the right thing to do.
We're gonna do this.
Yeah?
I'm Poe, Poe Dameron.
Good to meet you, Poe.
Good to meet you too, Finn!
Where're we going?
We're going back to Jakku.
The droid has a map that leads straight to Luke Skywalker.
Luke Skywalker?
I thought he was a myth.
Follow me.
I can do this!
I don't know your name.
Finn.
Nice shot!
I'm getting pretty good at this.
What's yours?
Get ready!
Are we really doing this?
I'm Rey.
Whoa!
Chewie,
we're home.
This is the "Millennium Falcon" ?
You are Han Solo?
I used to be.
The Jedi were real?
It's true.
All of it.
Ever since Luke disappeared people have been looking for him.
He was training a new generation of Jedi.
One boy, an apprentice, turned against him, destroyed it all.
Every time you look me, you're reminded of him.
Do you think I want to forget him?
I want him back.
No!
There has been an awakening.
Come back!
Have you felt it?
There's still light in him, I know it.
Show me again.
The power of the darkness.
Grandfather.
And I will finish
what you started.
Today,
You don't know the First Order like I do.
All remaining systems will bow to the First Order!
We all need to run.
and will remember this
as the last day of the Republic!
The First Order charging their weapon again, now.
Our system is the next target.
Alright, let's light it up!
Ben!
Han Solo...
You’re so lonely...
Your son is gone.
He was weak and foolish like his father,
so I destroyed him.
You are afraid....
I'm being torn apart.
I want to be free of this pain.
....that you will never be as strong as Darth Vader!
No!
Traitor!
The belonging you seek is not behind you,
it is ahead.
Prepare to fire.
Hit the target hard! Give it everything you got!
You need a teacher!
Close your eyes.
I can show you the ways of the force!
Feel it.
The Force...
The light...
It will guide you.
Rey,
may the Force be with you.
Master Skywalker?
I’m from the Resistance.
Your sister Leia sent me.
We need your help.
You've seen this place.
You've seen this island.
Why are you here?
Something inside me has always been there.
Then now it's awake.
And I'm afraid.
And I need help.
I will teach you the ways of the Jedi...
and why they need to end.
For many years, there was balance...
and then I saw Ben.
Leia trusted me with her son.
But, I failed.
Because I was Luke Skywalker.
A Jedi Master.
A legend.
What happened?
I saw darkness.
Snoke had already turned his heart.
And it was beyond what I ever imagined.
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 the last thing I saw
were the eyes of a frightened boy whose master had failed him.
Ben, no!
The mighty Kylo Ren.
You have too much of your father's heart in you.
You were unbalanced.
Bested by a girl who had never held a lightsaber!
You failed!
You're just a child in a mask...
The galaxy may need a legend.
I need someone to show me my place in all this.
We have them tied on the end of a string.
Proximity alert!
They tracked us through lightspeed.
They won't last long burning fuel like this.
It's just a matter of time.
Tell us that we have a plan!
That there is hope!
Why is the Force connecting us?
You and I.
Darkness rises
and light to meet it.
Your parents threw you like garbage.
But you can't stop needing them.
It is your greatest weakness.
Let the past die.
It's the only way to become what you're meant to be.
Don't do this, Ben.
Please don't go this way.
You have no place in this story.
You're nothing.
But not to me.
Fulfill your destiny!
We have allies.
People believe in Leia.
Get all our forces down to that Resistance base.
Let's finish this.
Luke.
Did you come back to say you forgive me?
To save my soul?
We are the spark that will light the fire that will burn the First Order down.
Skywalker is doing this so we can survive.
No, no, no, no, no.
No!
The Resistance is dead.
The war is over.
And when I kill you
I will have killed the last Jedi.
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
and you
and all of it.
No.
Pass on what you have learned.
Leia,
I’m sorry.
Strength, mastery. Hmm.
But weakness, folly, failure, also.
I failed you, Ben.
I'm sorry.
I know.
I'm just glad you're here
at the end.
Strike me down in anger and I'll always be with you.
Just like your father.
I held out hope for so long but
I know my son is gone.
No one's ever really gone.
How do we build a Rebellion from this?
We have everything we need.
We've decoded the intel from the First Order spy
and it confirms the worst.
Somehow, Palpatine returned.
He's been planning his revenge.
His followers have been building something for years.
The largest fleet the galaxy has ever known.
It cannot be.
The Emperor is dead.
I have died before.
The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be...
unnatural.
My boy.
I made Snoke.
I have been every voice...
you have ever heard...
inside your head.
Join me.
The might of the Final Order will soon be ready.
It will be yours if you do as I ask.
Kill the girl!
End the Jedi...
and become what your grandfather Vader could not.
But beware...
she is not who you think she is.
I pushed you in the desert, because I needed to see it.
I needed you to see it.
Who you are.
Don’t!
You don't just have power.
You have his power.
You're his granddaughter.
You're lying.
I never lied to you.
Your parents were no one.
They chose to be.
They sold you to protect you.
Rey, be brave.
She isn't on Jakku.
She's gone.
You'll be safe here.
I promise.
What Palpatine doesn't know is we're a dyad in the Force, Rey.
I had a vision of the throne of the Sith.
And who was on it.
Empress Palpatine.
I don’t want this!
We'll kill him together.
I never wanted you dead.
Never be afraid of who you are.
No!
Look at yourself.
Your hatred,
your anger.
The dark side is in our nature.
You will take the throne.
Surrender to it.
With your hatred, you will take my life.
You know what you need to do.
And you will ascend.
You can't go back to her now.
Like I can't.
Ben.
Leia...
I did want to take your hand.
Ben's hand.
Poe, something's happened.
She's gone.
A Jedi's weapon deserves more respect.
Master Skywalker.
What are you doing?
Hey, kid.
I miss you, son.
I'm never leaving this place. I'm doing what you did.
Your son is dead.
No.
I was wrong.
It was fear that kept me here.
Kylo Ren is dead.
What are you most afraid of?
Myself.
Because you're a Palpatine.
My son is alive.
Leia knew it, too.
She still trained me.
Because she saw your spirit.
Your heart.
It's too late.
She's gone.
Your mother's gone.
But what she stood for, what she fought for...
that's not gone.
Leia told me that she had sensed the death of her son at the end of her Jedi path.
She surrendered her saber to me and said that
one day it would be picked up again
by someone who would finish her journey.
Rey.
Ben.
Some things are stronger than blood.
I know what I have to do but I don't know if I have the strength to do it.
Confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi.
You do.
Your destiny.
Dad...
I'm not ready.
Neither were we.
Luke, Han, Leia, me...
Who's ever ready?
How'd you do it?
Defeat an empire with almost nothing.
We had each other.
That's how we won.
Leia never gave up.
And neither will we.
But there's just too many of them.
But there are more of us, Poe.
What our mothers and fathers fought for
we will not let die.
There are more of us.
Today, we make our last stand.
Stand together,
die together.
Long have I waited...
A dyad in the Force...
The power of two restores the one, true Emperor.
Do not fear that feeble attack my faithful.
Nothing will stop the return of the Sith!
Be with me.
These are your final steps, Rey.
It is your birthright to rule.
Rey.
Bring back the balance, Rey, as I did.
In the night, find the light, Rey.
You're not alone, Rey.
Alone never have you been.
Every Jedi who ever lived lives in you.
I haven't come to lead the Sith...
It is in your blood.
Our blood.
I have come to end them.
As a Jedi?
Yes.
We stand behind you, Rey.
All you want is for me to hate, but I won't.
Feel the Force flowing through you.
Not even you.
In the heart of a Jedi lies her strength.
Weak.
Like your parents.
Rey,
the Force will be with you,
always.
Rise, Rey.
The Force surrounds you, Rey.
Let it guide you.
As it guided us.
My parents were strong.
They saved me from you.
Let your death be the final word in the story of rebellion.
The Sith are reborn!
The Jedi are dead!
You are nothing!
A scavenger girl is no match for the power in me.
I am all the Sith!
Rise.
Rise in the Force.
Let it lift you.
And I...
I'm all the Jedi.
Poe. We did it.
People are rising up all over the galaxy.
No, Rey.
A power like life itself.
Two that are one.
Unseen for generations.
Ben.
Show me.
Grandfather.
And I will finish
what you started.
There's been no one for so long.
Who are you?
I'm Rey...
Rey Skywalker.
This is where the fun begins.
Punch it!
I like this!
The Force is strong in my family,
my father had it,
I have it,
my sister has it.
You have that power too.
Luke,
we are what they grow beyond.
That is the true burden of all masters.
Pass on
what you have learned.
Anakin,
this path has been placed before you.
The choice is yours alone.
It is your destiny.
I don't want things to change.
But you can't stop change
any more than you can stop the suns from setting.
You have taken your first step into a larger world.
Remember,
the Force will be with you...
always.
Goodbye, old friend.
May the Force be with you.
