INT. RESISTANCE BASE - DAY

An ALERT: OFFICERS at their consoles, OVERLAPPING, urgent.

OFFICER: General, their shields are down!

C-3PO: Thank the Maker!

LEIA: Han did it! Send them in!

"It's about time," Anakin said happily. "I can't wait to seem them blow that weapon into oblivion."

The other Jedi nod in agreement. That weapon is an abomination.

ADMIRAL STATURA: Give Poe full authorization to attack.

REAR ADMIRAL GULCH: Black Leader, go to sub-lights. On your call.

INT. X-WING - DAY

At LIGHTSPEED, Poe pilots:

POE: Roger, base - red squad, blue squad, take my lead.

INT. X-WING - DAY

Nien Nunb pilots, acknowledges order in alien language.

INT. X-WING - DAY

Another pilot, ZOLO ZIFF. YOLO ZIFF Dropping out of lightspeed.

EXT. SPACE/STARKILLER BASE - DAY

With CONCUSSIVE BLASTS, the X-WINGS APPEAR and ROAR PAST CAMERA toward the Starkiller Base planet!

"I won't disagree with you, but I still think this plan is crazy. Flying like that is almost suicide." Obi-Wan comments.

"Heh, that's why I always win MAster," Anakin states with a smirk.

EXT. STARKILLER BASE - CLEARING - DAY

The CRASHED FALCON, two parked TIE FIGHTERS and a TROOP TRANSPORT VEHICLE beside it.

EXT. STARKILLER BASE - CLEARING - DAY

At a distance, the X-WINGS DROP FROM THE SKY, TOWARD THE HEXAGONAL OSCILLATOR STRUCTURE IN THE DISTANCE!

"It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be." Ahsoka remarks.

EXT. STARKILLER BASE - ABOVE OSCILLATOR - DAY

The squad of X-wings DIVE BOMBS the Oscillator, the Black Falcon leads. INTERCUT BETWEEN THIS AND VARIOUS X-WINGS.

"Oh I absolutely love the speed and movement of those X-Wings," Anakin says giddily.

INT. X-WING - DAY POE PILOTS: <

POE: Almost in range! Hit the target dead center, as many runs as we can get!

INT. X-WING - DAY

Snap pilots.

SNAP: Approaching target.

INT. X-WING - DAY

Nien Nunb acknowledges.

INT. STARKILLER BASE - CONTROL ROOM - DAY

LARGE EXPLOSIONS atop the DISTANT OSCILLATOR, seen through the large windows! ALARMS BLARE in here - we PULL BACK as Hux moves quickly to see the damage, he turns sharply to a First Order Officer:

GENERAL HUX: Dispatch all squadrons...

COLONEL DATOO: Yes, General.

"Well that doesn't sound too good." Master Mundi says with a frown.

"Nah, I think they'll be ok. From what I've seen these stormtroopers aren't very good at aiming." Anakin says with a grin.

"And Poe did manage to take out a lot of fighters as well Master." Ahsoka adds in.

"Either way, things are about to get intense." Obi-Wan says. Everyone nods in agreement, not arguing with that fact.

INT. X-WING - DAY

POE: Let's light it up!

DIVE BOMBING THE OSCILLATOR, HITTING IT DEAD CENTER IN QUICK SUCCESSION!

INT. X-WING - DAY LT.

BASTIAN: Direct hit!

ELLO ASTY: But no damage!

Jess reacts.

POE: Yeah, we gotta keep hitting it! Another bombing run! Remember, when that sun is gone, that weapon will be ready to fire! But as long as there's light, we got a chance.

The Jedi all watch the screen in anticipatio, cheering on Poe and the rest of his squad in the hopes that they can take out the oscillator.

INT. X-WING - DAY

A BEEPING from BB-8, riding in the back of his X-wing, and Poe looks out - can't believe what he's seeing: DOZENS OF TIE FIGHTERS!

"...ok I take back what I said. They're in trouble," Anakin says worriedly.

"It's like a swarm of vulture droids," Master Plo comments in agreement.

POE: Guys, we got a lot of company!

INT. STARKILLER BASE - JUNCTION AREA - DAY

Finn, Han and Chewie take cover, Chewie pulling some EXPLOSIVES out of the duffel. Blast doors nearby.

FINN: We'll use the charges to blow that blast door. I'll go in and draw fire, but I'm gonna need cover.

HAN: You sure you're up for this?

"I must admit I don't have complete confidence in young Finn." Master Mundi comments.

"I'm sure he can get the job done." Anakin says in defense.

"I'm not doubting his intentions, but his is still a very new player in battle, and he'll need much more experience." Master Mundi says. A few of the other Jedi nod in agreement.

FINN: Hell no - I'll go in find and try to find Rey - (improvising, fast) - The troopers'll be on our tail. We have to be ready for that. There's an access tunnel that'll leads -

(Han starts pointing with his chin to SOMETHING BEHIND FINN)

"What's he doing?" Ahsoka asks in confusion.

Why are you doing that? Why are you doing - this? I'm trying to come up with a plan.

Finn turns - AND SEES REY, CLIMBING OUT FROM INSIDE THE WALL, carefully climbing back up to the main level! He can't believe it! Chewie MURMURS his relief. Han is maybe more grateful than anyone.

Everyone breathes out a sigh of relief, glad that Rey is now most likely safe and sound.

"What a coincidence," Ahsoka says with a small smile.

INT. RESISTANCE BASE - DAY

A Resistance Technician turns to Leia:

ADMIRAL ACKBAR: The Oscillator's still standing.

OFFICER: X-wings coming back for another round of attacks!

INT. STARKILLER BASE - CORRIDOR 6 - DAY

Rey climbs up to the corridor, vigilant. She hears a SOUND, SWOOPS her rifle at - Finn, Han and Chewie! She cannot believe it! All Finn wants to do is hug her - and she him.

"Woah, woah woah don't fire missy." Anakin says with a chuckle.

HAN: Are you all right?

REY: Yeah.

HAN: Good.

FINN: What happened - did he hurt you?

REY: Finn. What are you doing here?! <

FINN: We came back for you. <

She is speechless - this is all she's ever wanted anyone to do. Chewie TALKS - and Rey's eyes nearly tear up.

Anakin's heart melts at the sight: he recognizes the look on her face. He's felt the same loneliness as a slave himself, since nobody would ever help a simple slave on Tatooine. Not since Padme and Qui-Gon freed him from that life. His only regret was that his mother wasn't able to share these moments with him.

FINN: (CONT'D) What'd he say?

REY: (shrugs, smiles, though nearly in tears) ... That it was your idea.

Finn awkwardly smiles. It's his nature. They embrace.

REY: (CONT'D) Thank you.

FINN: How did you get away?

REY: I can't explain it. And you wouldn't believe it.

"Powerful, the Force is. Enough it is to say, hmm?" Yoda says with a chuckle. The other Jedi smile in amusement.

HAN: Escape now. Hug later.

Anakin and Ahsoka burst into small laughter. Oh Han Solo was definitely quite the comedian. They couldn't imagine losing him right now after getting to know him. He's like the cranky grandpa to Finn and Rey.

"Definitely my favorite smuggler." Anakin comments with a smirk.

"I have to agree with you there Anakin. And definitely better than Hondo." Obi-Wan says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Is that even a comparison?" she asks rhetorically.

EXT. STARKILLER BASE - DAY

The X-Wings DOGFIGHT with the TIE Fighters on the surface of the snowy planet. INTERCUT BETWEEN the ships SCREAMING past each other, and the COCKPITS of the Resistance and First Order fighters. Poe's fighter NEARLY COLLIDES with a close- passing TIE Fighter!

The Jedi all grow serious again, seeing the dire situation the Resistance fighters are in. They aren't able to destroy the Oscillator, and the amount of TIE's in the air is truly insane. It's starting to look more and more like a suicide mission.

SNAP: I got one behind me. See it?

JESS: Yeah, I'm on it!

A heavy cannon emplacement launches a missile that shreds an X-wing fighter.

JESS: Furillo's been hit!

SNAP Watch out for ground fire!

"Things are looking very grim." Master Plo says with a frown behind his mask.

"Indeed," Mace says worriedly, his hands clasped in front of him in thoughtful concern.

EXT. STARKILLER BASE - DAY

The X-wings ROAR across the sky, BLASTING and DODGING the TIE Fighters and missiles. PULL BACK TO REVEAL Han, Finn, Rey and Chewie, who run out here, into the snow, stopping, eyes on the sky, watching the lop-sided battle. THE FOUR HEROES TURN TO EACH OTHER, RESOLVE IN THEIR EYES. A long moment of communication.

HAN: They're in trouble. We can't leave. (to Finn, re: Chewie) My friend here has a bag full of explosives. Let's use 'em.

"The first good news about this plan we've heard today." Anakin remarks happily.

"It certainly is a good thing they brought detonators." Obi-Wan says in agreement.

INT. RESISTANCE BASE - DAY

A Resistance Technician turns to Leia:

KAYDEL KO CONNIX: General, are you seeing this?

VOBER DAND: Two more X-wings down. That's half our fleet destroyed.

C-3PO: And their weapon will be fully charged in 10 minutes! It would take a miracle to save us now.

Everyone goes tense with worry. They arent doubting Han and Poe, but they have very little time to pull this off, and the situation is looking almost hopeless.

INT. STARKILLER BASE - OSCILLATOR STRUCTURE - NEAR DARKNESS

Han and Chewie arrive here to find THREE SECURITY STORMTROOPERS approaching a Maintenance Hatch. Instantly, Chewie takes out the middle one with his Bowcaster. Han and the other two Stormtroopers OPEN FIRE, but Han's aim is true. ALARMS START BLARING!

"Well, they know they're there." Obi-Wan states.

"I hope they don't send Kylo Ren after them," Master Ti states worriedly. "Even Rey's new Force potential isn't properly grown for combat yet."

"Trust in the Force, we must." Yoda states.

INT. JUNCTION STATION - NEAR DARKNESS

Running inside from a parked snowspeeder, Rey opens a service hatch. Finn behind her, as she reaches into the mechanics of the place, very much like the very first shot we saw of Rey. And she YANKS a piece of TECH from the machinery and:

Anakin nods in approval. That looked like he proper piece to pull. And absolutely expensive as well.

INT. STARKILLER BASE - OSCILLATOR STRUCTURE - NEAR DARKNESS

The HATCH OPENS! Han and Chewie, having been on the lookout, step inside, weapons poised. Chewie MOANS.

HAN: That girl knows her stuff.

"She sure does." Anakin says proudly.

The Jedi continue to watch the movie play it, eager to see Han blow up the Oscillator and grant the Resistance a great victory over this abomination of a weapon.

However they are unaware of the consequences that will come of Han's deeds...
