Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker

[First lines]

Palpatine:
At last. Snoke trained you well.

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

Palpatine:
My boy... I made Snoke. I have been every voice... [as Snoke] ...you have ever heard... [as Darth Vader] ...inside your head. [breathes] The First Order was just the beginning. I will give you so much more.

Ren:
You'll die first.

Palpatine:
I have died before. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... [lightning flashes, revealing Palpatine's decaying face] …unnatural.

Ren:
[raises his lightsaber at Palpatine] What could you give me?

Palpatine:
Everything. A new Empire. [raises his decaying hands, with electricity surging between his fingers. Suddenly, multiple Xyston-class Star Destroyers rise from the ground] 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.

Ren:
[a bit confused yet intrigued] Who is she? [Palpatine smiles sinisterly]

[After intel about a spy in the First Order is downloaded into Artoo]

Finn:
How do we thank you?

Boolio:
Win the war!

[On the jungle world of Ajan Kloss, Rey is practicing using the Force with Leia training her]

Rey:
Be with me. Be with me. Be with me. [opens her eyes] They're not with me.

General Leia Organa:
Rey, be patient.

Rey:
I'm starting to think it's impossible to hear the voices of the Jedi who came before.

Leia:
Nothing is impossible.

Rey:
"Nothing is impossible." I'm going to run the training course.

Rey:
I will earn your brother's saber one day.

[BB-8 chirps at her]

Rey:
[Smiles] No, you can't do it for me.

Leia:
Never underestimate a droid [Walks away]

Rey:
Yes, Master.

Poe:
Really could have used your help out there.

Rey:
How'd it go?

Poe:
Really bad, actually. Really bad.

Rey:
Han's ship...

Poe:
What'd you do to the droid?

Rey:
What'd you do to the Falcon?

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

Rey:
BB-8's not on fire.

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

Rey:
Tell me what happened.

Poe:
You tell me first.

Rey:
You know what you are?

Poe:
What?

Rey:
You're difficult. Really difficult. You're a difficult man.

Rey:
So, bad mood?

Finn:
Me?

Rey:
[thumbs at Poe] Him.

Finn:
Always.

Rey:
You lightspeed skipped?

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

Rey:
Poe, the compressor's down.

Poe:
Oh, I know, I was there.

Finn:
Every time-

Rey:
You can't lightspeed skip the Falcon!

Poe:
Actually, it turns out you can.

Rey:
I need to finish what Luke started. Find Exegol. Find the Emperor.

Leia:
No.

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

Rey:
I need to go alone.

Finn:
Yeah. Alone with friends

Finn:
Rose, last chance.

Rose Tico:
The General asked me to study the specs of the old Destroyers. So we can stop the fleet if you find it.

Finn:
'If'?

Rose:
[chuckles] When.

Finn:
[Pats her shoulder] When.

Poe:
What is this?

Threepio:
The Acky Acky Festival of the Ancestors. This celebrations occurs only once every 42 years.

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

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

[The group turn to Threepio, who, oblivious to the stares, also turns about]

Kylo:
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:
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:
Do you still count the days since your parents left? Such pain in you, such anger. I don't want to 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.

Rey:
Leia needs pilots, General.

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

[Upon seeing the new jet-pack Stormtroopers...]

Threepio:
Oh, they fly now!

Finn:
They fly now?

Poe:
They fly now.

Threepio:
The location of the wayfinder has been inscribed upon this dagger. It's the clue that Master Luke was looking for.

Poe:
And?

Finn:
Where's the wayfinder?

Threepio:
I am afraid I cannot tell you.

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

Threepio:
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?

Threepio:
My programming forbids me from translating it.

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

Threepio:
Irony, sir.

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

Finn:
Then tell me.

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

Finn:
Ren?

Rey:
And me.

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

Poe:
Oh, you'd be surprised.

Rey:
Who's this?

Finn:
What's going on?

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

Zorii:
I could pull this trigger right now.

Poe:
I've seen you do worse.

Zorii:
For a lot less.

Poe:
We're trying to find Babu Frik.

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

Rey:
What crew?

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

Finn:
You were a spice runner?

Poe:
You were a stormtrooper?

Rey:
Were you a spice runner?

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

Rey:
We could really use your help. Please

Zorii:
Not that you care...but I think you're okay.

Rey:
I care.

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

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

Threepio:
If this mission fails...it was all for nothing. All we've done...all this time.

Poe:
What are you doing there, Threepio?

Threepio:
Taking one last look, sir...at my friends.

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

Poe:
I'm coming with you.

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

Poe:
Did you ever trust me?

Zorii:
Nope

Poe:
[to Zorii] How long's it been like this?

Zorii:
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:
How? All those hyperlanes are blocked. That's the First Order Captain's medallion. I've never seen a real one.

Zorii:
Free passage through any blockade. Landing privileges, any vessel. [removes part of the helmet, revealing her eyes] Wanna come with me?

Poe:
[sighs] I can't walk out on this war. Not till 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:
I don't believe you believe that. Hey... they win by making you think you're alone, remember? There's more of us.

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

Rey:
You're hard to get rid of.

Kylo:
Your parents were no one. They chose to be. To keep you safe.

Rey:
Don't!

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

Rey:
I don't want this!

Kylo:
Search your memories.

Rey:
No!

Emperor Palpatine:
Kill the girl! End the Jedi and become what your grandfather Vader could not. You will rule all the galaxy as the new emperor.

Emperor Palpatine:
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.

Emperor Palpatine:
The ritual begins. She will strike me down and pledge herself as a Sith. She will draw her weapon. She will come to me. She will take her revenge. And with a stroke of her saber, the Sith are reborn! The Jedi are dead! Do it! Make the sacrifice!

Emperor Palpatine:
Stand together, die together.

Emperor Palpatine:
The lifeforce of your bond. A dyad in the Force. A power like life itself. Unseen for generations. And now...the power of two restores the one, true Emperor.

Emperor Palpatine:
As once I fell, so falls the last Skywalker.

Emperor Palpatine:
Nothing will stop the return of the Sith!

Emperor Palpatine:
Let your death be the final word in the story of rebellion.

Poe Dameron:
You're [Rey] the best fighter we have. We need you. Out there, not here.

Poe Dameron:
[Seeing the Falcon] There she is. She's a survivor.

Poe Dameron:
[After Rey used Force persuasion on the stormtroopers] [To Finn] Does she do that to us?

Poe Dameron:
Welcome to Exegol.

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

Rey:
Be with me.

Rey:
I did want to take your hand. Ben's hand.

Kylo Ren:
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.

Kylo Ren:
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.

Kylo Ren:
The dark side is in our nature. Surrender to it.

Luke Skywalker:
A Jedi's weapon deserves more respect.

Luke Skywalker:
Rey, some things are stronger than blood. Confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi. Your destiny.

Luke Skywalker:
A thousand generations live in you now. But this is your fight.

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