Premise
Set 30 years after Zig Zag's revolution, the film follows Rey, Finn, and McPhee's search for Bernard and their fight in the Resistance, led by Olivia and veterans of the Rebel Alliance, against Eddie and the First Order. Rey receives Jedi training from Bernard, in hopes of turning the tide for the Resistance in the fight against Eddie and the First Order, while Olivia, Finn, and McPhee attempt to escape a First Order attack on the dwindling Resistance fleet.

Plot
Thirty years after the events of Brendam, the First Order has risen, attacks Brendam. The Resistance, backed by the Republic and led by General Olivia, opposes them while Olivia searches for her husband, Bernard while the First Order steals the Resistance's super-weapon, the WABAC. Resistance pilot McPhee receives a map to Bernard's location from Lor San Tekka. Stormtroopers commanded by Eddie Ren vandalize the village and capture Poe, while Eddie kills San Tekka. Poe's friend and sidekick, BB-8, escapes with the map and encounters a scavenger named Rey near a junkyard settlement. Eddie tortures McPhee using the Force and learns of BB-8. Rey refuses to agree to marry Hamish, the son of the elderly mayor of Brendam, Lord Serverus Ascot. Stormtrooper FN-2187, unwilling to work for the First Order, frees McPhee, and they escape in a stolen TIE fighter; McPhee names FN-2187 "Finn". As they head to Jakku to retrieve BB-8, they are shot down by a First Order Star Destroyer and crash-land. Finn survives and assumes that McPhee died in the crash. He encounters Rey and BB-8, but the First Order tracks them and launches an airstrike. Finn, Rey, and BB-8 flee the planet in the Millennium Falcon, which they steal from a junkyard.

The Falcon is captured by a larger ship piloted by the Duke of Brendam, who is Olivia's nephew and Eddie's cousin, and Bernard's partner, Chewbacca Octopus, looking to reclaim their former vessel. The group is attacked by gangs seeking to settle debts with the Duke, and flee in the Falcon. At the First Order's Starkiller Base, the First Order's Supreme Leader Snoke allows Eddie and his two partners in-crime, Grand Moff Tarkin and Jacob Marley, to use the weapon for the first time to make the WABAC the most dangerous weapon. Snoke questions Eddie's ability to deal with emotions relating to his father, Bernard, who Eddie says means nothing to him. The Falcon crew determines that BB-8's map is incomplete. Han explains that Luke attempted to rebuild the Jedi Order but exiled himself when an apprentice turned to the dark side, destroyed the temple, and slaughtered the other apprentices. The crew travels to Brendam's street, Blue Street, and meets with canteen owners Goobot and Ooblar, who offer assistance getting BB-8 to the Resistance. Rey is drawn to a secluded vault and finds the lightsaber that once belonged to Bernard and his mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi. She experiences disturbing visions and flees into the woods. Rey gives Finn the lightsaber for safekeeping.

Starkiller Base uses the WABAC to destroy a few planets, including the Republic capital, and a portion of its fleet. The First Order attacks Takodana in search of BB-8. the Duke, Chewbacca, and Finn are saved by Resistance X-wing fighters led by McPhee, who is revealed to have survived the crash on Jakku. Olivia arrives at Takodana with Toto, Alfred, Rosita, Meena and Ash and reunites with the Duke and Chewbacca. Meanwhile, Eddie captures Rey and takes her to Starkiller Base, but she resists his mind-reading attempts. Discovering she can use the Force, Rey escapes by using a Jedi mind trick on a nearby guard. But Resistance assistant leader Mort Snape and his assistants, Frankie and Luca, stop Rey and Finn from leaving.

Meanwhile, McPhee goes through a hidden passage to Rivendell. There, Maximus Peabody discloses a hidden indication of a secret door on the company's map of the Lonely Mountain, which will be visible only on Durin's Day. McPhee later approaches the White Council — consisting of Peabody, Helga, Iago, and Zig Zag. While Zig Zag presses concern to the more present matter of the Dwarves' quest, requesting that Poe put an end to it, Poe secretly reveals to Helga he had anticipated this and had the resistance move forward without him.

At the Resistance base, BB-8 finds Joe, who has been unconcious and fired as king of Brendam since Bernard's disappearance. As Starkiller Base prepares to fire once more, the Resistance devises a plan to destroy it by attacking the main facility. Using the Falcon, the Duke, Chewbacca, and Finn infiltrate the facility, deactivating the planet's shields, find Rey, and plant explosives. the Duke confronts Kylo, calling him by his birth name, Ben, and implores him to abandon the dark side. Kylo refuses and kills the Duke, enraging Chewbacca, who shoots Eddie and sets off the explosives, allowing the Resistance to attack and destroy the base. The injured Kylo pursues Finn and Rey into the woods at dark. Eddie defeats Finn in a lightsaber duel, seemingly killing him. Rey takes the lightsaber and uses the Force to defeat Eddie, before they are separated by a fissure as the planet begins to disintegrate. Snoke orders Tarkin to evacuate and bring Kylo to him to complete his training. Rey and Chewbacca escape with the unconscious Finn in the Falcon. As the Resistance forces flee, Starkiller Base is destroyed. On D'Qar, Olivia, Chewbacca, and Rey mourn the Duke's death. Joe awakens and reveals the rest of the map, which Rey uses to find the telecommunications company, Ahch-To.

Olivia leads the flight of Resistance forces from D'Qar, when a First Order fleet arrives. McPhee leads a costly counterattack that destroys a First Order dreadnought, and the remaining Resistance escapes into hyperspace. Rey, having traveled to Arch-To with Chewie and Joe aboard the Falcon, attempts to recruit Bernard to the Resistance. Disillusioned by his failure to train Eddie, and under self-imposed exile, Bernard refuses to help and says that the Jedi should end. Meanwhile, the First Order uses a device to track the Resistance, and attacks them. Eddie hesitates to fire on the lead Resistance ship after sensing his mother's presence, but his wingmen destroy the bridge, killing most of the Resistance's leaders. Olivia is dragged into space, but survives by using the Force.

Encouraged by Joe, Bernard decides to train Rey as a Jedi. Rey and Eddie begin communicating through the Force, puzzling them both. After Eddie tells Rey what happened between him and Bernard that caused him to choose the dark side, Bernard confesses that he momentarily contemplated killing Eddie upon sensing that Snoke was corrupting him; this prompted Eddie to destroy Bernard's new Jedi Order. Convinced that Eddie can be redeemed, Rey, Chewie, and Joe leave Ahch-To. Bernard prepares to burn the Jedi library, but hesitates. Lovelace's ghost appears and destroys the library by summoning a bolt of lightning, saying that Rey has all she needs to learn, and encouraging Bernard to learn from his failure.

Meanwhile, McPhee entrusts Finn, Steven the resistance mechanic, and BB-8 with a secret mission to find someone who can deactivate the First Order's tracking device, which Goobot says they can find on Canto Bight. Marley arrests McPhee in Dol Guldur. Finn, Steven, and BB-8 meet the Sheriff of Brendam who was hired by Plankton to eliminate them, and escape the city with the help of some stablehand children and riding animals they set free. Finn and Rose infiltrate Snoke's ship—as Rey also arrives—but are captured by Captain Phasma. Meanwhile, Helga, Peabody, Iago, and Zig Zag arrive at Dol Gurdur and free Poe, who sets off to battle Eddie.

Eddie brings Rey to Snoke, who says that he facilitated the connection between her and Eddie as part of a plan to defeat Bernard, while Chewie and Joe check out the computer base. Meanwhile, Mort, Luca, and Frankie reveal their plan to evacuate the remaining Resistance members using small transports. Finn, Steven, and BB-8 brainwash them to become good. Believing her actions to be cowardly and futile, McPhee leads a mutiny. Olivia recovers and stuns McPhee, allowing the evacuation to begin. Eddie angrilly kills Marley as he betrays him. Holdo remains on the ship to mislead Snoke's fleet as the others flee to an abandoned base. In a bargain for his freedom, the Sheriff reveals the Resistance's plan to the First Order, and the evacuation transports are destroyed one after another.

Ordered to kill Rey, Eddie instead kills Snoke and defeats his guards alongside Rey. Rey hopes that Eddie has abandoned the dark side, but he instead asks her to rule the galaxy with him. Refusing, she and Eddie battle using the Force to obtain Bernard's lightsaber, splitting it in two. Holdo sacrifices herself by ramming into Snoke's flagship at lightspeed, crippling it. Meanwhile, Rey escapes while Eddie declares himself Supreme Leader. BB-8 frees Finn and Steven; they defeat Phasma and join the survivors on Crait. When the First Order arrives, McPhee, Finn, and Steven attack with old speeders. Rey and Chewbacca draw TIE fighters away in the Falcon, while Steven diverts Finn from attacking the enemy siege cannon, which subsequently penetrates the Resistance fortress.

Eddie arrives on Ahch-To and Bernard appears and confronts the First Order to enable the surviving Resistance to escape. Eddie unsuccessfully orders the First Order's forces to fire on Bernard. McPhee arrives with Finn, BB-8, the Resistance, Helga, Peabody, Iago, Zig Zag, Steven, Mort, Frankie, Luca, Kylee, The Jolly Brothers, Siddeley, and time travel versions of Smek, Mr. Benjamin "Benny" Krupp, Dr. Karl Frankenstein, Chauncey, The Emperor, Cecil, Fearless Leader, Boris Badenov, and Natasha Fatale, Professor Zundapp, Rex Dangervest, Samuel Deavor, Grem, Acer, Mr. Trout, Mr. Pickles, and Mr. Gristle to fight the First Order and leads a revolution. Rey, Chewie, and Joe return to Ahch-To and decide to join the final showdown. Kylee destroys Eddie's warship and Marley with the Ultra-Loopy-Looney Super Silly Ray. Meanwhile, the Sheriff redeems himself and joins the light side. Bernard, Rey, Olivia, Finn, Chewbacca, McPhee, and BB-8 work together to defeat Eddie by taking away his magic, which destroys the WABAC. Bernard then dies peacefully, becoming one with the Force. Rey and Olivia sense his death, and Olivia tells her that the Resistance can still rise again. Ascot brings Hamish to Rey over and decides to make him propose to Rey. But she refuses to marry him again and Finn pushes Hamish over and proposes to Rey. Hamish becomes jealous and swears revenge on Rey for defeating him. Olivia crowns Rey queen of Brendam.

Following Bernard's funeral, Rey finds Bernard's old castle, where a great feast has been set in her honor, with many of the characters in attendance from the revolution. Rey appreciates the feast and she, Finn, Chewie, McPhee, and BB-8 hop into the Falcon and take off as everyone else dances. At Canto Bight, one of the stablehand children moves a broom with the Force and gazes into the night sky, where the Falcon flies in front of the full moon.

As the end credits roll, a photo montage reveals that Finn becomes the king of Brendam, Olivia, McPhee, BB-8, Toto, Joe, Alfred, Rosita, Meena, and Ash stay behind in the base, and Eddie is arrested by the Sheriff for his crimes, swearing revenge on Rey, Finn, and the Resistance.
