As they head to Jakku to retrieve BB-8, a First Order <a href="/wiki/Star_Destroyer" title="Star Destroyer">Star Destroyer</a> shoots them, and they crash-land. Finn survives and assumes Poe was killed after finding his jacket in the wreck. Finn encounters Rey and BB-8, but the First Order tracks them and launches an airstrike. Rey, Finn, and BB-8 steal the <a href="/wiki/Millennium_Falcon" title="Millennium Falcon">Millennium Falcon</a> and escape Jakku. The Falcon is discovered and boarded by <a href="/wiki/Han_Solo" title="Han Solo">Han Solo</a> and <a href="/wiki/Chewbacca" title="Chewbacca">Chewbacca</a>.

Snoke questions Kylo's ability to deal with emotions surrounding his father, Han Solo, whom Kylo states means nothing to him. Aboard the Falcon, Han determines that BB-8's map is incomplete. He then explains that Luke attempted to rebuild the <a href="/wiki/Jedi" title="Jedi">Jedi</a> Order but exiled himself when an apprentice turned to the dark side, destroyed Luke's temple, and slaughtered the other apprentices. The crew travels to the planet <a href="/wiki/Takodana" class="mw-redirect" title="Takodana">Takodana</a> and meets with <a href="/wiki/Cantina" title="Cantina">cantina</a> owner <a href="/wiki/Maz_Kanata" title="Maz Kanata">Maz Kanata</a>, who offers help getting BB-8 to the Resistance.

She experiences disturbing visions, including a childhood memory of a ship leaving her on Jakku. Rey denies the lightsaber at Maz's offering and flees into the woods. Maz gives Finn the lightsaber for safekeeping. Starkiller Base destroys the New Republic capital and its four neighboring planets, leaving the Resistance on their own. The First Order attacks Takodana in search of BB-8. Han, Chewbacca, and Finn are saved by Resistance <a href="/wiki/X-wing_fighter" title="X-wing fighter">X-wing fighters</a> led by Poe, who survived the crash. Leia arrives at Takodana with <a href="/wiki/C-3PO" title="C-3PO">C-3PO</a> and reunites with Han. Meanwhile, Kylo captures Rey, having realized that she had seen the map, and takes her to Starkiller Base, but she resists his mind-reading attempts. Snoke orders Kylo to bring Rey to him. Discovering she can use the Force, Rey escapes using a <a href="/wiki/Jedi_mind_trick" class="mw-redirect" title="Jedi mind trick">Jedi mind trick</a> on a stormtrooper guard. At the Resistance base, BB-8 finds <a href="/wiki/R2-D2" title="R2-D2">R2-D2</a>, who had been in low-power mode since Luke's disappearance. As Starkiller Base prepares to fire once more, the Resistance plans to destroy it by attacking its thermal oscillator. Using the Falcon, Han, Chewbacca, and Finn infiltrate the facility, find Rey, and plant explosives. Han confronts Kylo, calling him by his birth-name Ben, and implores him to abandon the dark side. Kylo seems to consider this but ultimately kills Han. Chewbacca shoots Kylo, injuring him, and sets off the explosives, allowing Poe to attack and destroy the base's thermal oscillator. Kylo pursues Rey and Finn into the woods and incapacitates Rey. Finn uses the lightsaber to duel Kylo but is quickly defeated. Rey awakens, takes the lightsaber, and defeats Kylo in a duel. Snoke orders Hux to evacuate and bring Kylo to him to complete his training. Chewbacca saves Rey and the injured Finn, and they escape aboard the Falcon. As the Resistance forces flee, Starkiller Base implodes and erupts into a star. R2-D2 awakens and reveals the rest of the map, which points to the oceanic planet <a href="/wiki/Ahch-To" class="mw-redirect" title="Ahch-To">Ahch-To</a>. Rey, Chewbacca, and R2-D2 travel to Ahch-To on the Falcon.
