The last part had Han and Chewie finally returning to the Falcon. Rose Tico joins Han and Chewie, she is a mechanic from the Resistance, her character needs to be introduced earlier than Last Jedi. I think Kelly Marie Tran did great with the part as much as she could, but this revised part needs more of a screen presence next to Daisy Ridley. I’m thinking Liu Yifei, currently Mulan, or her Forbidden Kingdom co-star, Li Bingbing, also Ellen Wong (from Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) or Jessica Henwick (if she wanted to change from Jess Pava), she was great in Iron Fist. Han asks where the ship was taken and Rose replies. Han wants Chewie to put them in a pod to be sent to a planet. Rey says they have to bring the droid to the Resistance. Rose asks what is BB-8’s importance. Finn brings up the data on Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Academies. Han admits the Jedi are real. They are interrupted by the docking of ships to the freighter. Han sends BB-8, Finn, and Rey to hide below decks of the freighter. BB-8 is out in the open when he's being hunted? Han, Chewbacca, and Rose wait for the gangs in a corridor of the freighter. The two gangs, Guavian Death Gang and Kanjiklub, say there is a bounty on the Millennium Falcon. A bounty on the ship which left Jakku makes more sense then CG Rathtars.
Han says, “You can take this ship, the Eravana is a Baleen-class heavy freighter.” The two factions confiscate the heroes’ weapons under their blasters. BB-8 emerges and Bala-Tek says that the First Order has a bounty on the droid. Chewbacca uses the distraction and takes hold of one of the Guavian Death Gang’s armored shoulder to rip his arm off. This shows Chewie fulfilling the “It’s not wise to upset a Wookie" and the strange dismemberment that runs through the Original Trilogy. BB-8 tries to go for the fallen weapons and instead whips his cable around a Kanjiklub gang member’s legs. Tasu Leech kicks Chewbacca back and two Guavian Death Gang members hit him with shockstaves. This is a fight scene, Chewbacca would make it a short fight. It seems like an absolute waste to have two actors from The Raid as cameoes, this extends their part, but I’m sure the actors would love to do a fight scene in a Star Wars movie.
We have a few punches in SW, but no real hand to hand combat beyond the animated series. Han punches a Guavian Death Gang member. BB-8 sends out electrical blasts at the weapons held by gunmen. Finn asks Ar-U55 to get in the fight, but he says he is programmed not to harm a person. Rose blocks Tasu Leech’s strikes and swings from a post to kick him back. Tasu Leech is flung backwards and spins in a kick that strikes Rose. A Kanjiklub gang member manages to put a restraining bolt on BB-8. Rey with her staff and Finn appear. Han reaches for his blaster, but it is kicked away by Bala-Tek. Rey takes on the two Guavian Death Gang members with shockstaves. Finn comes behind two Guavian Death Gang members punching one and kicking the other. The Kanjiklub lieutenant, Razoo Qin-Fee, kicks Finn in the head, dropping him to the floor.
Rey strikes the helmets of the Guavian Death Gang members with her staff. Tasu Leech blocks her staff strike and punches her. Rose is blocking and punching a Kaliklub gang member. She catches hold of pipes overhead and knocks him out with a kick. Han is holding the wrists of Bala-Tek and slams him into a bulkhead. Razoo Qin-Fee takes on Rey and Rose joins their fight. He is overwhelmed by their strikes and back kicked by Rey. Tasu Leech recovers his blaster and shoots a recovered Chewbacca in the arm. Han takes up Chewbacca’s bowcaster and blasts Tasu Leech. Finn revives and asks who won. The gang members are restrained by binders and cables and left aboard the freighter as their ships are detached. Then, it makes a random hyperspace jump.

Rose Tico tends to Chewbacca’s wound. The Millennium Falcon has Han piloting with Rey takes off into hyperspace. TIE fighters roar towards the Starkiller weapon. The massive hologram of Supreme Leader Snoke is angry at the loss of the Jedi Academy data to General Hux and Kylo Ren. Snoke notes to Kylo Ren that the droid is now Kylo Ren’s father, Han Solo. Kylo Ren vows to fulfill his training. In hyperspace, Han checks on Chewbacca, BB-8 displays the locations of the Jedi Academies, Tatooine, Naboo, and Devaron. Han explains the training of an apprentice and also that he suspects that Luke Skywalker went somewhere in the Unknown Regions. They would have an idea of his location from the planet he left from for his journey. Han also admits that the Jedi are true. Rose says the Resistance will need the data contained by BB-8. Han says they will need “an old friend” to keep BB-8 safe.
The Millennium Falcon breaks from hyperspace to land at Takodana. Rey is impressed at the green hills outside of Maz Kanata’s castle. Once they land, Finn tries to convince Han that he is a “big deal” with the Resistance. Han speaks with Rey mentioning bringing her on the crew of the Falcon. Sarco Planck has detected BB-8 on the Falcon and leaves for the castle. Everyone heads to Maz Kanata’s castle. Han mentions to Finn and Rey that everyone in the galaxy, including the First Order, is looking for the Falcon. He has Chewbacca watch over BB-8 and takes them into the castle. Han has already seen that the two gangs recognize BB-8 so he takes him to more criminals? Some beast is roasting in a fire, a band plays, there are various aliens including two Rodians (Greedo’s species), an Ugnaught, and a red Twi’lek woman, and Maz Kanata. Ar-U66 says, "The threat level here is high." Max calls out Han Solo’s name.
Another part of the Sequel Trilogy is to dismiss the aliens (except supporting characters) from other trilogies so it isn’t really Star Wars. Rose Tico has the droid, GA-97, contact the Resistance and slips away. Sarco Planck is given credits by the mercenary, Bazine Netal, who notifies the First Order. In his quarters, Kylo Ren is conflicted by the light side, and wants guidance from his grandfather, the distorted mask of Darth Vader. At a private room, why do they talk about Luke Skywalker in an open room in the film?, Han has told Maz about the Jedi Academy data. She tells him that he must join the fight against the Dark Side. Finn worries about the First Order, Maz sets down her goggles and crawls on the table to examine him. She says she sees something familiar in his eyes. Finn goes to the smuggler’s crew to get passage to the Outer Rim. Rey catches up to him and Finn admits he’s a stormtrooper. Finns says he ran and met Rey so he has left the First Order.

He leaves with the pirates. Rey hears the cries of a girl. A door opens for her and she takes the steps down. It doesn’t make sense that there is a crowded room and no one takes the stairs to private halls. The door would open at Rey’s presence. She finds the chest and opens it to find the lightsaber. Obi-Wan’s voice calls out Rey. She sees in a dark corridor a woman in dark blue hood and robes. She sees the lightsaber on a rocky, volcanic surface. It is placed in a chest and then taken out and activated in a desert house. Rey starts to plunge down the Cloud City reactor shaft, she sees the lightsaber spinning, she reaches out for it as she hears Darth Vader’s breathing. Darkness. The lightsaber is picked up by a gloved hand and then given to Maz Kanata’s hands, in close-up, who says it will be safe. It shifts to the child Rey held by Lor San Tekka as she screams for the ship that leaves Jakku. This is known as psychometry, touching an object revealing memories of what it experienced. It seems like the film has the lightsaber giving Rey visions of the past and the future, something it took Luke some time to learn. The Battle of Takodana? Coming up!
