PLOT
Resistance fighters led by General Leia Organia evacuate their main base as a First Order fleet reaches them. Poe Dameron leads an effective but costly counterattack. The Resistance vessels jump into hyperspace to escape, but the First Order gives pursuit using a tracking device. During an attack, Leia's son, Kylo Ren, destroys the Resistance support fighters, but hesitates to fire at the lead Resistance ship after sensing his mother's presence on board. TIE fighters destroy the bridge of the ship, killing many Resistance leaders. Leia saves herself using the Force but is incapacitated, leaving Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo in command. Disapproving of her passive strategy, Poe, Finn, BB-8, and mechanic Rose Tico embark on a secret plan to disable the tracking device.
Having arrived on Ahch-To with Chewbacca and R2-D2 aboard the millenium falcon, Rey meets Luke Skywalker. Luke refuses to initiate her in the ways of the Force because of his past failure with teaching Kylo, even after learning of Han Solo's death. Unbeknownst to Luke, Rey and Kylo begin communicating with each other through visions. Prompted by R2-D2, Luke eventually agrees to teach Rey. Luke and Kylo give Rey differing accounts of the incident that swayed Kylo toward the dark side, with Luke confessing that he contemplated killing Kylo upon discovering his corruption bySupreme Leader Snoke. Unable to convince Luke to join the Resistance, Rey leaves Ahch-To without him to confront Kylo. Luke sees Yoda's Force ghost, who destroys the Arch-To Jedi temple and tells him that failure is the greatest teacher.
Holdo reveals her plan to discreetly evacuate the remaining Resistance members using small transports. Believing her actions to be cowardly and risky, Poe instigates a mutiny. Finn, Rose, and BB-8, recruit the pirate and computer hacker DJ at a casino on Canto Bight, believing that he will be able to help them disable the tracking device. They infiltrate Snoke's ship, but are captured by Captain Phasma, though BB-8 manages to escape. Meanwhile, Rey lands on Snoke's ship and is seized by Kylo, who takes her to snoke. During a confrontation with Snoke, Rey tries to turn Kylo to the side of the Resistance. Snoke reveals that he controlled the mental connection between her and Kylo as part of a plan to destroy Luke. Ordered to kill Rey, Kylo instead kills Snoke and works together with Rey to kill Snoke's guards. Kylo invites Rey to rule the galaxy with him, but Rey refuses. Using the Force, they struggle for possession of Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber until it splits in two.
Leia having recovered, stuns Poe and allows the evacuation to begin. Holdo remains on the main ship to mislead Snoke's fleet as all others escape to an old Rebel Alliance base on the nearby planet Crait. However, DJ reveals the Resistance's plan to the First Order, and the evacuation transports are targeted with heavy losses; Holdo sacrifices herself by ramming Snoke's flagship at lightspeed to stop the barrage. Rey escapes in the chaos, while Kylo declares himself new Supreme leader. BB-8 frees Rose and Finn, who escape after defeating Captain Phasma, and join the survivors of the evacuation. When the First Order arrives, Poe, Finn and Rose lead a charge with old-speeders, but suffer heavy losses. Rey arrives in the Millenium Falcon and draws the TIE fighters away, while Rose saves Finn from a suicide run against the main enemy cannon, which then blasts a hole in the Resistance Fortress.
Luke appears and confronts Kylo alone, giving the surviving Resistance fighters time to escape. Kylo strikes Luke with his lightsaber, but learns that he has been fighting a Force projection, and Luke is still on Ahch-To. Luke defiantly tells Kylo that he will not be the last jedi, as Rey clears a blocked tunnel behind the base so the remaining Resistance fighters escape aboard the Falcon, and Leia reassures everyone that the rebellion has all that is needed to rise again. On Canto Bight, one of the children that helped Finn and Rose escape grabs a broom with the Force and hopefully gazes up into space.
