Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker Quotes

Rey: People keep telling me they know me. No one does.

Kylo Ren: But I do.

Luke Skywalker: No one's ever really gone.

[Palpatine cackles]

Poe Dameron: What are you doing there, 3PO?

C-3PO: Taking one last look, sir. At my friends.

Luke Skywalker: The force will be with you.

Leia Organa: Always.

[being chased by two Jet Troopers]

C-3PO: Oh! They fly now!

Finn: They fly now?

Poe Dameron: They fly now.

[Opening Title Card]

Opening Crawl: The dead speak! The galaxy has heard a mysterious broadcast, a threat of REVENGE in the sinister voice of the late EMPEROR PALPATINE.

Opening Crawl: GENERAL LEIA ORGANA dispatches secret agents to gather intelligence, while REY, the last hope of the Jedi, trains for battle against the diabolical FIRST ORDER.

Opening Crawl: Meanwhile, Supreme Leader KYLO REN rages in search of the phantom Emperor, determined to destroy any threat to his power... .

Kylo Ren: What could you give me?

Emperor Palpatine: Everything. A new empire.

C-3PO: Oh, my. A hex charm.

Poe Dameron: A what?

C-3PO: A common emblem of Sith loyalists.

Rey: Sith.

Finn: This was Ochi's?

Poe Dameron: Luke sensed it. Ochi never left this place.

Finn: And he ended up down here.

Poe Dameron: He was headed for his ship. Same thing happened to us, happened to him.

Finn: So how did Ochi get out?

Rey: He didn't.

[first lines]

Emperor Palpatine: At last. Snoke trained you well.

Kylo Ren: I killed Snoke. I'll kill you.

Emperor Palpatine: My boy, I made Snoke. I have been every voice...

Snoke: ..you have ever heard..

Darth Vader: ...inside your head.

Emperor Palpatine: The First Order was just the beginning. I will give you so much more.

Kylo Ren: You'll die first.

Emperor Palpatine: I've died before. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural.

Kylo Ren: What could you give me?

Emperor Palpatine: Everything. A new empire. 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. You will rule all the galaxy as the new emperor. But beware. She is not who you think she is.

Kylo Ren: Who is she?

Finn: Boolio, good to see you You got something for us?

Boolio: From a new ally! A spy in the First Order!

Finn: A spy? Who?

Boolio: I don't know! Transfer the message! Get it to Leia, hurry!

Luke Skywalker: [Rey throws away her lightsaber into the flaming wreckage of Kylo's ship, but a hand reaches out and grabs it. It turns out to be Luke Skywalker as a Force Ghost, who steps casually forward] A Jedi's weapon deserves more respect.

Rey: [surprised] Master Skywalker!

Luke Skywalker: What are you doing?

Rey: I saw myself on the dark throne. I won't let it happen. I'm never leaving this place. I'm doing what you did.

Luke Skywalker: I was wrong. It was fear that kept me here. What are you most afraid of?

Rey: [after a long pause] Myself.

Luke Skywalker: Because, you're a Palpatine? Leia knew it, too.

Rey: She didn't tell me.

[Luke Skywalker sits beside Rey]

Rey: She still trained me.

Luke Skywalker: Because she saw your spirit. Your heart. Rey, some things are stronger than blood. Confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi. Your destiny. If you don't face Palpatine, it will mean the end of the Jedi, and the war will be lost.

C-3PO: [after his memory is temporarily wiped] I am C-3PO, human/cyborg relations. And you are?

Poe Dameron: Okay, that's gonna be a problem.

[repeated line]

Rey: Be with me.

Rey: [referring to her incident with BB-8] You dropped a tree on him?

Rey: [same re: his lightspeed-skipping] You blew both sub-alternators?

[last lines]

Tatooine Elder: There's been no one for so long. Who are you?

Rey: I'm Rey.

Tatooine Elder: Rey who?

Rey: [sees the force ghosts of Luke Skywalker and Leia, and she turns her back to her] Rey Skywalker.

Jannah: Where are you from, General?

Lando Calrissian: The Gold system. Well, what about you, kid?

Jannah: Oh. I don't know.

Lando Calrissian: Well, let's find out.

Snap Wexley: We're getting reports of a raid at the Festival of Ancestors.

Leia Organa: This mission is everything. We cannot fail. Any word from Rey?

Snap Wexley: Falcon's not responding.

Rose Tico: Do you have to say it like that?

Snap Wexley: Like what?

Leia Organa: Do me a personal favor? Be optimistic.

Snap Wexley: Yes, ma'am. Uh, this is... This is terrific. You're not gonna believe how well this is gonna turn out. It's gonna be great.

Kylo Ren: I know what I have to do, but I don't know if I have the strength to do it.

Han Solo: You do.

Poe Dameron: How'd you do it? Defeat an empire with almost nothing.

Lando Calrissian: We had each other. That's how we won.

General Hux: I'm the spy.

Poe Dameron: What?

Finn: You?

General Hux: We don't have much time.

Poe Dameron: I knew it!

Finn: No, you did not.

Han Solo: Hey, kid.

[He turns to Han Solo as a memory]

Han Solo: I miss you, son.

Kylo Ren: Your son is dead.

Han Solo: No... Kylo Ren is dead. My son is alive.

Kylo Ren: You're just a memory.

Han Solo: Your memory... Come home.

Kylo Ren: It's too late. She's gone.

Han Solo: Your mother's gone. But what she stood for, what she fought for... that's not gone.

Zorii Bliss: So long, sky trash!

Poe Dameron: Who's that flyer?

Zorii Bliss: Take a guess, spice runner.

Babu Frik: [pops up] HEY!

Poe Dameron: Zorii, you made it!

Maz Kanata: Chewie?

[she gives a medal to Chewie]

Maz Kanata: This is for you.

Emperor Palpatine: You are nothing! A scavenger girl is no match for the power in me! I am *all* the Sith!

Rey: And I... am all the Jedi.

Poe Dameron: Snap, they're on your tail!

Snap Wexley: No, I see it!

Poe Dameron: No, no, stop, stop!

[Tie fighter shoots X-Wing, Snap Wexley screaming and it explodes]

Poe Dameron: NO!

Poe Dameron: There's writing on it.

C-3PO: Perhaps I can translate. Oh! The location of the wayfinder has been inscribed upon this dagger. It's the clue that Master Luke was looking for.

Poe Dameron: And?

Rey: Where's the wayfinder?

C-3PO: I am afraid I cannot tell you.

Poe Dameron: 20.3 fazillion languages and you can't read that?

C-3PO: Oh, I have read it, sir. I know exactly where the wayfinder is. Unfortunately, it is written in the runic language of the Sith.

Rey: So what?

C-3PO: My programming forbids me from translating it.

Poe Dameron: So you're telling us the one time we need you to talk, you can't?

C-3PO: Irony, sir. I am mechanically incapable of speaking translations from Sith. I believe the rule was passed by the Senate of the Old Republic...

Finn: [playing Dejarik against Chewbacca] How do you think he wins all the time?

Poe Dameron: He cheats.

Chewbacca: [roars]

Poe Dameron: I'm kidding! You're 250 years old! Of course you're better than us!

Obi Wan Kenobi: These are you final steps, Rey. Rise and take them.

Anakin Skywalker: Rey.

Ahsoka Tano: Rey.

Kanan Jarrus: Rey.

Anakin Skywalker: Bring back the balance, Rey, as I did.

Luminara Unduli: In the night, find the light, Rey.

Mace Windu: You're not alone, Rey.

Yoda: Alone, never have you been.

Qui-Gon Jinn: Every Jedi who ever lived, lives in you.

Anakin Skywalker: The force surrounds you, Rey.

Aayla Secura: Let it guide you.

Ahsoka Tano: As it guided us.

Mace Windu: Feel the force feeling through you, Rey.

Anakin Skywalker: Let it lift you.

Adi Gallia: Rise, Rey.

Qui-Gon Jinn: We stand behind you, Rey.

Obi Wan Kenobi: Rey.

Yoda: Rise in the Force.

Kanan Jarrus: In the heart of a Jedi lies her strength.

Obi Wan Kenobi: Rise.

Qui-Gon Jinn: Rise.

Luke Skywalker: Rey, the Force will be with you, always.

Emperor Palpatine: The Jedi apprentice still lives. Perhaps you have betrayed me. Do not make me turn my fleet against you.

Kylo Ren: I know where she's going. She'll never be a Jedi.

Emperor Palpatine: Make sure of it. Kill her.

[Rey encounters a Dark Side phantom of herself who is wielding red, two-ended lightsaber]

Rey: [as the Dark Side phantom] Don't be afraid of who you are.

Finn: How do we thank you?

Boolio: Win the war.

Han Solo: Hey, kid.

[Kylo turns to see a vision of Han Solo standing behind him]

Han Solo: I missed you, son.

Kylo Ren: Your son is dead.

Han Solo: No... Kylo Ren is dead. My son is alive.

Kylo Ren: [in disbelief] You're just a memory.

Han Solo: Your memory. Come home.

Kylo Ren: It's too late. She's gone.

Han Solo: Your mother's gone. But what she stood for, what she fought for... that's not gone.

[pause]

Han Solo: Ben...

Kylo Ren: I know what I have to do, but I don't know if I have the strength to do it.

Han Solo: [touches Kylo's cheek] You do.

[Kylo looks down at his lightsaber, then back at Han]

Kylo Ren: Dad...

Han Solo: [smiles] I know.

Poe Dameron: Move your metal ass, Threepio.

C-3PO: [his memory has been briefly erased] How dare you! We've just met.

Luke Skywalker: There's something my sister would want you to have.

Rey: Leia's saber.

Luke Skywalker: It was the last night of her training. 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. A thousand generations live in you now. But this is your fight.

Emperor Palpatine: The Princess of Alderaan has disrupted my plan, but her foolish act will be in vain. Come to me on Exegol, General Pryde.

General Pryde: As I served you in the old wars, I serve you now.

Emperor Palpatine: Send a ship to a world they know. Let it burn. The Final Order begins. She will come; her friends will follow.

General Pryde: Yes, my Lord.

Kylo Ren: [holding the Sith wayfinder] Look at yourself. You wanted to prove to my mother that you were a Jedi, but you've proven something else. You can't go back to her now, like I can't.

Rey: Give it to me.

Kylo Ren: The Dark Side is in our nature. Surrender to it.

Rey: Give it... to me.

Kylo Ren: The only way you're getting to Exegol... is with me.

[Kylo destroys the wayfinder]

Rey: No!

Poe Dameron: Really could've used your help out there.

Rey: How'd it go?

Poe Dameron: Really bad actually. Really bad.

Rey: Han's ship?

Poe Dameron: What did you do to the droid?

Rey: What did you do to the Falcon?

Poe Dameron: The Falcon is in a lot better shape than he is.

Rey: BB-8 is not on fire.

Poe Dameron: What's left of him isn't on fire.

Rey: Tell me what happened.

Poe Dameron: You tell me first.

Rey: You know what you are?

Poe Dameron: What?

Rey: You're difficult, really difficult, you're a difficult man.

[repeated line]

Babu Frik: Hey, hey!

General Hux: Wait. Wait. Blast me in the arm. Quick.

Finn: What?

General Hux: Or they'll know.

[Finn shoots him in the leg]

General Hux: No. Aah!

Finn: Why are you helping us?

General Hux: I don't care if you win. I need Kylo Ren to lose.

Rey: Why did the Emperor come for me? Why did he want to kill a child? Tell me.

Kylo Ren: Because he saw what you would become. You don't just have power. You have his power. You're his granddaughter. You are a Palpatine. My mother was the daughter of Vader. Your father was the son of the Emperor. What Palpatine doesn't know is we're a dyad in the Force, Rey. Two that are one. We'll kill him together and take the throne. You know what you need to do. You know.

Rey: I do.

Rey: It's okay that we're here.

FN-0606: It's okay that you're here

FN-1226: It's good.

Rey: You're relieved that we're here!

FN-1226: Thank goodness you're here...

FN-0606: Welcome, guys.

Poe Dameron: Does she do that to us?

General Pryde: Where did they get all these fighter craft? They have no navy.

Admiral Griss: It's not a navy, sir. It's just... people.

Kylo Ren: What could you, give me?

Emperor Palpatine: Everything.

Rey: I haven't come to lead the Sith. I've come to end them.

Emperor Palpatine: As a Jedi?

Rey: Yes.

Emperor Palpatine: *No.*

Poe Dameron: We've decoded the intel from the First Order spy and it confirms the worst. Somehow, Palpatine returned.

Rose Tico: Wait, do we believe this?

Colonel Aftab Ackbar: It cannot be. The Emperor is dead.

Beaumont: Dark science. Cloning. Secrets only the Sith knew.

Poe Dameron: He's been planning his revenge. His followers have been building something for years. The largest fleet the galaxy has ever known. He calls it the Final Order. In 16 hours, attacks on a free worlds begin. The Emperor and his fleet have been hiding in the Unknown Regions. On a world called Exegol.

Poe Dameron: What is this?

C-3PO: The Aki-Aki Festival of the Ancestors. The celebration occurs once every 42 years.

Finn: [dryly] Well, that's lucky.

C-3PO: Lucky indeed. This festival is known for both its colorful kites and its delectable sweets.

General Hux: It was a coordinated incursion, Allegiant General. They overpowered the guards and forced me to take them to their ship.

General Pryde: I see. Get me the Supreme Leader.

[takes blaster from stormtrooper and guns down General Hux]

General Pryde: Tell him we found our spy.

Finn: This is a First Order part.

Jannah: There's an old cruiser on the west ridge. Stripped for parts. The one we were assigned to. The one we escaped in.

Finn: Okay, wait. You were First Order?

Jannah: Not by choice. We were conscripted kids. All of us. I was TZ-1719. Stormtrooper.

Finn: FN-2187.

Jannah: You?

Finn: I never knew there were more.

Jannah: Deserters? All of us here were stormtroopers. We mutinied at the battle of Ansett Island. They told us to fire on civilians. We wouldn't do it. We laid our weapons down.

Finn: All of you?

Jannah: The whole company. I don't even know how it happened. It wasn't a decision, really, it was like...

Finn: An instinct. Feeling.

Jannah: A feeling.

Finn: The Force. The Force brought me here. It brought me to Rey. And Poe.

Jannah: You say that like you're sure it's real.

Finn: It's real. I wasn't sure then... but I am now.

Kylo Ren: [through the Force] Palpatine wants you dead.

Rey: Serving another master?

Kylo Ren: No. I have other plans.

[beat]

Kylo Ren: I offered you my hand once. You wanted to take it. Why didn't you?

Rey: You could've killed me. Why didn't you?

Kylo Ren: You can't hide, Rey. Not from me.

Rey: I see through the cracks in your mask. You're haunted. You can't stop seeing what you did to your father.

Kylo Ren: Do you still count the days since your parents left? Such pain in you. Such anger. I don't wanna have to kill you. I'm going to find you and I'm going to turn you to the Dark Side. When I offer you my hand again... you'll take it.

Rey: We'll see.

Kylo Ren: I sense unease about my appearance, General Hux.

General Hux: [awkwardly] About the mask? No, sir. Well done.

General Parnadee: I like it.

Poe Dameron: We're trying to find Babu Frik.

Zorii Bliss: Babu? Babu only works for the crew. That's not you anymore.

Rey: What crew?

Zorii Bliss: Oh, funny he never mentioned it. Your friend's old job was running spice.

Finn: You were a spice runner?

Poe Dameron: You were a stormtrooper?

Rey: Were you a spice runner?

Poe Dameron: Were you a scavenger? We could do this all night.

Zorii Bliss: [hoists her weapon higher] You don't have all night.

Rey: I lost control.

Finn: It wasn't your fault.

Rey: It was.

Finn: No. It was Ren. He made you do it.

Rey: Chewie's gone. That power came from me. Finn, there are things you don't know.

Finn: Then tell me.

[pause]

Rey: I, uh, had a vision. Of the Sith throne. And who was on it.

Finn: Ren?

Rey: [shaking voice] And me.

Finn: What are you doing?

Poe Dameron: Lightspeed skipping.

Finn: How do you know how to do that?

Poe Dameron: [Chewie howls] Yeah, well, Rey's not here, is she?

Rey: I'm starting to think it isn't possible to hear the voices of the Jedi who came before.

Leia Organa: Nothing's impossible.

Rey: I didn't finish the training course. Got distracted. I'm just... not feeling myself. I know it looks... it looks like I'm making excuses.

Leia Organa: Don't tell me what things look like. Tell me what they are.

Rey: I think I'm just tired. That's all.

Rey: So, bad mood?

Finn: Me?

Rey: [pointing at Poe] Him.

Finn: Always.

Rey: You lightspeed-skipped?

Poe Dameron: Yeah, well, it got us back here, didn't it?

Rey: Poe, the compressor's down.

Poe Dameron: Oh, I know. I was there.

Finn: Every time.

Rey: You can't lightspeed-skip the Falcon!

Poe Dameron: Actually, it turns out you can.

Beaumont: There were always whispers of his hunger to cheat death.

Poe Dameron: So, Palpatine's been out there all this time. Pulling the strings.

Leia Organa: Always. In the shadows. From the very beginning.

Rey: I know to get to Exegol.

Leia Organa: Tell me.

Rey: Luke searched for it. For a long time. He nearly found it. There are ciphers here I can't read. But he said to get there, you need one of these. A Sith wayfinder. They're compasses that lead the way to Exegol. To stop what we both know is coming... I need to finish what Luke started. Find Exegol. Find the Emperor.

Leia Organa: No.

Rey: I don't want to go without your blessing, but I will. I will. It's what you would do.

Rey: You were right before. I'm gonna pick up Luke's search for Exegol. I'm gonna start where his trail went cold. The Forbidden Desert of Pasaaana.

Poe Dameron: Yeah, I know. We're going with you.

[heading into the Falcon]

Poe Dameron: Chewie, you get that compressor fixed?

Rey: I need to go alone.

Finn: Yeah. Alone with friends.

Rey: It's too dangerous, Finn.

Finn: We go together.

C-3PO: [Chewie howls and BB-8 chirps] I wholeheartedly agree.

General Quinn: Forgive me, sir, but these allies on Exegol... they sound like a cult. Conjurers and soothsayers.

General Pryde: They've conjured legions of Star Destroyers. The Sith fleet will increase our resources ten-thousandfold. Such range and power will correct the error of Starkiller Base.

Rey: [making her way through the Festival of the Ancestors] I've never seen anything like this.

Finn: I've never seen so few wayfinders.

Poe Dameron: There's always random First Order patrols in crowds like these. So keep your heads down. Chewie.

[with a soft howl, Chewie crouches down]

C-3PO: [translating an alien language] She is saying "welcome." Her name is Nambi Ghima.

Rey: That's an excellent name. I'm Rey.

C-3PO: [translating again] She would be honored to know your family name, too.

Rey: I don't have one. I'm just Rey.

Rey: We have to go. Back to the Falcon. Now.

Finn: Why?

Rey: It's Ren.

C-3PO: This is General Lando Calrissian.

Rey: We know who he is, 3PO.

Poe Dameron: General, we're looking for Exegol.

Lando Calrissian: Of course you are.

Lando Calrissian: Only two were made.

Rey: A Sith wayfinder. Luke Skywalker came here to find one.

Lando Calrissian: I know. I was with him. Luke and I were tailing an old Jedi hunter.

[tapping his wristband, showing them a holographic profile]

Lando Calrissian: Ochi of Bestoon. He was carrying a clue that could lead to a wayfinder. We followed his ship halfway across the galaxy here. And when we got to his ship, it was abandoned. No clue, no wayfinder.

Rey: Is Ochi's ship still here?

Lando Calrissian: It's out in the desert where he left it.

Rey: We need to get to that ship. Search it again.

Rey: Leia needs pilots, General.

Lando Calrissian: My flying days are long gone. But do me a favor. Give Leia my love.

Rey: You should give it to her yourself.

Poe Dameron: [escaping from Jet Troopers] Did we lose 'em?

Finn: Looks like it!

C-3PO: Excellent job, sir!

[a stormtrooper appears on a speeder in front of them and opens fire]

C-3PO: Terrible job, sir!

Poe Dameron: What the hell is this?

Rey: Sinking fields! Try to grab something!

C-3PO: Will this agony ever end?

Poe Dameron: [after sinking through quicksand] Rey! Finn!

C-3PO: You didn't say my name, sir, but I'm all right.

Finn: What is this place?

C-3PO: This isn't the afterlife, is it? Are droids allowed here?

Rey: So, what was it?

Finn: What?

Rey: What you were gonna tell me.

Finn: When?

Rey: When you were sinking into the sand, you said "I never told you..."

Finn: I'll tell you later.

Poe Dameron: You mean when Poe's not here?

Finn: Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Poe Dameron: We're gonna die in sand burrows and we're all keeping secrets?

Finn: I'll tell you when you tell us about all that shifty stuff you do.

Poe Dameron: I do not wanna know what made these tunnels.

C-3PO: Judging by the circumference of the tunnel walls, there are numerous...

Poe Dameron: I said I do not wanna know. Not.

General Hux: We recovered the scavenger's ship, but she got away. Under command of the Knights of Ren, we suffered losses. A transport was destroyed.

General Pryde: I've seen the report. That all?

General Hux: No, Allegiant General. There was another transport in the desert. It brought back a valuable prisoner.

Poe Dameron: We've only got eight hours left. So what are we gonna do?

Finn: What can we do? We gotta go back to base.

Poe Dameron: We don't have time to go back. We are not giving up. If we do that, Chewie died for nothing.

Finn: Poe, Chewie had the dagger.

Poe Dameron: Well, then we gotta find another way.

Finn: Well, there isn't. That was the only clue to the wayfinder thing, and it's gone.

C-3PO: So true. The inscription lives only in my memory now.

Poe Dameron: The inscription that was on the dagger is in your memory?

C-3PO: Yes, Master Poe. But the translation from a forbidden language cannot be retrieved. That is, short of a complete redacted memory bypass.

Finn: A complete what?

C-3PO: It's a terribly dangerous and sinful act performed on unwitting droids by dregs and criminals.

Finn: Let's do that!

Poe Dameron: I know a black market droidsmith.

C-3PO: Black market droidsmith?

Poe Dameron: But he's on Kijimi.

Finn: What's wrong with Kijimi?

Poe Dameron: I had a little bad luck on Kijimi.

Poe Dameron: [surveying stormtrooper patrols on Kijimi] They're everywhere. All right, I know what we should do.

C-3PO: So do I. We should leave.

Poe Dameron: Clam it, 3PO.

Zorii Bliss: Heard you were spotted at Monk's Gate. Thought "he's not stupid enough to come back here."

Poe Dameron: Oh, you'd be surprised.

Rey: Who's this?

Finn: What's going on?

Poe Dameron: Guys, this is Zorii. Zorii, this is Rey and Finn.

Zorii Bliss: I could pull this trigger right now.

Poe Dameron: I've seen you do worse.

Zorii Bliss: For a lot less.

Poe Dameron: Can we just, uh... talk about this?

Zorii Bliss: I wanna see your brains in the snow.

Poe Dameron: So you're still mad?

Zorii Bliss: You know, I'm still digging out of the hole you put me in when when you left to join the Resistance.

[recognizing Rey]

Zorii Bliss: You. You're the one they're looking for. Bounty for her just might cover us.

[to her crew]

Zorii Bliss: Djak'kankah!

Poe Dameron: Don't djak'kankah.

Zorii Bliss: [conversing with Babu in an alien language] He says he's found something in your droid's forbidden memory bank. Words, translated from Sith.

Rey: That's it.

Finn: Yeah, that's what we need.

Zorii Bliss: [turning to Poe] Who are you hanging out with that speaks Sith?

Poe Dameron: Babu, can you make him translate it?

Zorii Bliss: [interpreting] Yes. But it will cause a complete...

C-3PO: A complete memory wipe.

Poe Dameron: Wait, wait, wait. We make him translate it, he won't remember... anything?

Babu Frik: [in English] Droid, memory go blank.

C-3PO: Oh!

Babu Frik: Blank, blank.

C-3PO: There must be some other way.

Finn: Doesn't R2 back up your memory?

C-3PO: Oh, please. R2's storage units are famously unreliable.

Rey: You know the odds better than any of us. Do we have a choice?

Zorii Bliss: Night raids are gonna start soon. I'll keep lookout.

Poe Dameron: I'm coming with you.

Zorii Bliss: You still don't trust me, huh?

Poe Dameron: Did you ever trust me?

Zorii Bliss: Nope.

Poe Dameron: How long's it been like this?

Zorii Bliss: First Order took most of the kids a long time ago. Can't stand the cries anymore. I've saved up enough to get out. I'm going to the Colonies.

Poe Dameron: How? All those hyperlanes are blocked.

[she shows him a small disc]

Poe Dameron: That's a First Order Captain's medallion. I've never seen a real one.

Zorii Bliss: Free passage through any blockade. Landing privileges, any vessel.

[opening the visor of her helmet]

Zorii Bliss: Wanna come with me?

Poe Dameron: I can't walk out on this war. Not 'til it's over. Maybe it is. We sent out a call for help at the Battle of Crait. Nobody came. Everyone's so afraid. They've given up.

Zorii Bliss: No, I don't believe you believe that.

Rey: Something's not right about all of this.

Finn: Hmm?

Rey: I know where I've seen it. The ship he was on. Ochi's ship.

Finn: What?

Rey: The day my parents left. They were on that ship.

Finn: Are you sure?

C-3PO: The Emperor's wayfinder is in the Imperial vault. At delta 3-6, transient 9-3-6, bearing 3-2, on a moon in the Endor system. From the southern shore. Only this blade tells. Only this blade tells.

Finn: The Endor system. Where the last war ended?

Zorii Bliss: [giving Poe her First Order medallion after they learn Chewie is alive] Might get you on a capital ship. Go help your friend.

Poe Dameron: Zorii, I don't think I can take this.

Zorii Bliss: I don't care what you think.

Rey: [seeing Ren's TIE land] We have to go. Now.

Poe Dameron: Come with us.

Zorii Bliss: Poe.

Poe Dameron: Can I kiss you?

Rey: [feeling something through the Force] The dagger's on this ship. We need it.

Poe Dameron: Why?

Rey: A feeling. I'll meet you back at the hangar.

Finn: The ship's this way. Follow me.

[as a stormtrooper spots them, he shoots a blast door closed]

Finn: Wrong way!

Poe Dameron: There's not really a right way, is there?

Kylo Ren: Wherever you are... you are hard to find.

Rey: You're hard to get rid of.

Kylo Ren: I pushed you in the desert because I needed to see it. I needed you to see it. Who you are. I know the rest of your story. Rey.

Rey: You're lying.

Kylo Ren: I never lied to you. Your parents were no one. They chose to be. To keep you safe.

Kylo Ren: You remember more than you say. I've been in your head.

Rey: I don't want this!

Kylo Ren: Search your memories.

Rey: No!

[she slashes at him with her lightsaber, which he blocks with his own]

Kylo Ren: Remember them. See them.

[she remembers her parents leaving]

Kylo Ren: They sold you to protect you.

Rey: Stop talking.

Kylo Ren: Rey, I know what happened to them.

Kylo Ren: [sharing a Force vision] Tell me where you are. You don't know the whole story. It was Palpatine who had your parents taken. He was looking for you. But they wouldn't say where you were. So he gave the order.

Rey's Mother: [flashback] She isn't on Jakku. She's gone.

[Rey's father is stabbed in the stomach]

Rey's Mother: No!

Rey: No!

[as they duel, a column is destroyed and Vader's helmet lands at his feet]

Kylo Ren: [realizing where she is] So that's where you are.

Kylo Ren: You know why the Emperor's always wanted you dead.

Rey: No.

Kylo Ren: I'll come tell you.

[to a stormtrooper as the vision ends]

Kylo Ren: She was in my quarters. Lock down the ship.

D-O: What is that?

Rey: It's the Death Star. It's a bad place from an old war.

Poe Dameron: It's gonna take us years to find what we're looking for.

C-3PO: Oh, dear.

Rey: [remembering the dagger's translation] "Only this blade tells."

Jannah: Rough landing.

Poe Dameron: I've seen worse.

Jannah: I've seen better. Are you Resistance?

Poe Dameron: That depends.

Jannah: We picked up a transmission from someone named Babu Frik.

C-3PO: Babu Frik? Oh, he's one of my oldest friends.

Rey: We have to get to that wreck. There's something inside there we need.

Jannah: I can take you there by water.

Finn: Have you seen the water?

Jannah: Not now. Too dangerous. We can go first light tomorrow.

Rey: We can't wait that long. We don't have the time.

Poe Dameron: Or the choice. Let's get that ship fixed.

C-3PO: [helping repair the Falcon after it crash-lands] What a dreadful situation. Is every day like this for you people? Madness.

Poe Dameron: [to Chewie] Did we ever find his volume control?

Poe Dameron: [after Rey heads to the Death Star wreckage alone] What the hell was she thinking?

Finn: Poe, we gotta go after her.

Poe Dameron: We'll get the Falcon fixed, and get out there as fast as we can.

Finn: No, we're gonna lose her.

Poe Dameron: Look, she left us! What do you wanna do? Swim?

Finn: She's not herself. You have no idea what she's fighting.

Poe Dameron: And you do?

Finn: Yeah, I do. And so does Leia.

Poe Dameron: Well, I'm not Leia.

Finn: That's for damn sure.

Poe Dameron: Kijimi? How?

Commander D'Acy: A blast from a Star Destroyer. A ship from the new Sith fleet. Out of the Unknowns.

Beaumont: The Emperor sent a ship from Exegol. Does that mean every ship in the fleet...

Poe Dameron: Has planet-killing weapons. Of course they do. All of 'em. This is how he finishes it.

Poe Dameron: [sitting at Leia's deathbed] I gotta tell you, I don't really know... how to do this. What you did... I'm not ready.

Lando Calrissian: [entering] Neither were we. Luke, Han, Leia, me... who's ever ready?

Finn: I gotta talk to you about something.

Poe Dameron: I gotta talk to you about something. I can't do this alone. I need you in command with me.

Finn: Look, this droid... thank you. I appreciate that.

Poe Dameron: General.

Finn: General.

Finn: This droid has a ton of information about Exegol.

Poe Dameron: Wait, what, Cone-face?

D-O: I am D-O.

Poe Dameron: Sorry, D-O.

Finn: He was going to Exegol with Ochi of Bestoon.

Poe Dameron: Why was Ochi going there?

Finn: To bring the little girl he was supposed to take from Jakku to the Emperor. He wanted her alive.

Luke Skywalker: You'll take both sabers to Exegol.

Rey: I can't get there. I don't have the wayfinder. I destroyed Ren's ship.

Luke Skywalker: You have everything you need.

Rey: [in the wreckage of Ren's ship] Two were made.

[hearing a rumbling, she sees his X-Wing lifted from the ocean]

Finn: All the information you need for an airstrike on Exegol.

Poe Dameron: Yeah, except how to get there. Are you seeing these atmo readings?

Finn: It's a mess out there. Magnetic crossfields.

Rose Tico: Gravity wells, solar winds.

Poe Dameron: How does a fleet even take off from there?

C-3PO: [approaching] Terribly sorry. I'm afraid R2's memory bank must be crossed with his logic receptors. He says he is receiving a transmission from... Master Luke.

C-3PO: Oh, hello. I am C-3PO, human/cyborg relations. And you are?

[R2 chirps]

C-3PO: What?

[R2 chirps again]

C-3PO: Well, I am quite certain I would remember if I had a best friend.

[R2 chirps a third time]

C-3PO: You want to put what in my head? Under no circum...

[a few moments later, R2 withdraws an electronic arm from 3PO's head]

C-3PO: Memory restoration complete. R2, have you heard? I am going with Mistress Rey on her very first mission.

[R2 chirps]

C-3PO: I already have?

Poe Dameron: That's an old craft ID. That's Luke Skywalker's X-Wing.

C-3PO: It's transmitting course marker signals on its way to the Unknown Regions.

Finn: It's Rey. She's going to Exegol. She's showing us. She's showing us how to get there.

Poe Dameron: Then we go together.

Finn: As long as those Star Destroyers are on Exegol, we can hit 'em.

Beaumont: Hit 'em how?

Rose Tico: They can't activate their shields until they leave atmosphere.

Poe Dameron: Which isn't easy on Exegol. Ships that size need help taking off. Nav can't tell which way's up out there.

Pilot Tyce: So, how do the ships take off?

Poe Dameron: They use a signal from a navigation tower like this one.

Finn: Except they won't. Air team's gonna find the tower, ground team's gonna blast it.

Pilot Vanik: Ground teams?

Finn: I have an idea for that.

Poe Dameron: Once the tower's down, the fleet will be stuck in atmo for just minutes, with no shields and no way out.

Rose Tico: We think hitting the cannons might ignite the main reactors.

Lando Calrissian: That's our chance.

Beaumont: We need to pull some Holdo maneuvers. Do some real damage.

Finn: Come on. That move is one in a million. Fighters and freighters can take out their cannons if there are enough of us.

Nien Nunb: [in Sullustese] There aren't enough of us!

Lieutenant Connix: He's right. We'd be no more than bugs to them.

Finn: That's where Lando and Chewie come in. They'll take the Falcon to the Core Systems. Send out a call for help for anybody listening.

Poe Dameron: We've got friends out there. They'll come if they know there's hope.

[murmurs of disagreement]

Poe Dameron: They will. First Order wins by making us think we're alone. We're not alone. Good people will fight if we lead them.

Finn: Leia never gave up. And neither will we. We're gonna show them we're not afraid.

Poe Dameron: What our mothers and fathers fought for, we will not let die. Not today. Today, we make our last stand. For the galaxy. For Leia. For everyone we've lost.

Finn: They've taken enough of us. Now we take the war to them.

Pilot Tyce: The navigation tower has been deactivated.

Finn: What?

Snap Wexley: Those ships need that signal. It's gotta be coming from somewhere.

Poe Dameron: They figured out what we're doing. Call off the ground invasion!

Finn: [spotting a Star Destroyer] Wait. The nav signal's coming from that command ship. That's our drop zone.

Jannah: How do you know?

Finn: A feeling.

Pilot Tyce: You wanna launch a ground invasion on a Star Destroyer?

Finn: I don't want to, but we can't take out that ship's nav system from the air. Give us cover. We gotta keep that fleet there 'til help arrives.

Rose Tico: We hope.

Finn: We hope.

Emperor Palpatine: With your hatred, you will take my life. And you will ascend.

Rey: All you want is for me to hate, but I won't. Not even you.

Emperor Palpatine: Weak. Like your parents.

Rey: My parents were strong. They saved me from you.

Emperor Palpatine: Your master, Luke Skywalker, was saved by his father. The only family you have here... is me.

[the ceiling opens, and she sees the raging battle in the atmosphere]

Emperor Palpatine: They don't have long. No one is coming to help them. And you are the one who led them here. Strike me down. Take the throne. Reign over the new Empire, and the fleet will be yours. Only you have the power to save them. Refuse, and your new family... dies.

Poe Dameron: My friends... I'm sorry. I thought we had a shot. But there's just too many of them.

Lando Calrissian: But there are more of us, Poe. There are more of us.

Poe Dameron: [seeing the number of ships emerging from hyperspace] Look at this. Look at this!

Finn: Lando, you did it. You did it!

Poe Dameron: Hit those underbelly cannons. Every one we knock out is a world saved.

Finn: Red Five is in the air. Rey's alive.

Poe Dameron: I see her.

Finn: People are rising up all over the galaxy. Poe... we did it.

Poe Dameron: We did it.

Emperor Palpatine: I am ALL the Sith!

Rey: And I... am all the Jedi.
