star wars the force awakens movie ending

Which brings us to the third ending: Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) leads an attack on the star-eating weapon that has drained a nearby sun of all its light. She nearly takes Ren down, but then the planet begins to collapse in on itself. But then Rey jumps in, and though untrained, the Force seems to be strong with this one. He and Finn fight it out, and obviously the former stormtrooper (who, it is revealed, worked in sanitation during his days in Ren's forces) succumbs to the new master of the Force. Score one for the bad guys.) Han's trusty wookiee companion Chewbacca loses it when he sees his co-pilot and best friend's demise, and he proceeds to detonate the bombs he had placed strategically throughout the weaponized space station/planet.Ĭut to the snowy forests of the planet, where Ren has tracked down Finn and Rey.

(The scene shows visual parallels to the Darth Vader-Luke Skywalker fight in The Empire Strikes Back, except Han Solo is the one to plummet into the depths. Though Ren admits there's a kernel of good remaining in him, he wills himself over to the dark side - he secures the darkness within when he skewers his father on his lightsaber. The first ending depicts the death of Han Solo at the hands of his son Kylo Ren. She escapes, and the final conquest begins. Ren (Adam Driver) kidnaps Rey (Daisy Ridley) thinking she can lead him to Luke Skywalker, and Rey, out of necessity, finds that she can wield the Force to bend others to her will and to resist Ren prying into her mind. (That was a spoiler alert!) If you haven't seen the movie, you may want to turn back now, but also, if you haven't seen the movie, here's a bit of background: The Force Awakens focuses on the perennial battle between good and evil, here exemplified in the good of the Resistance (General Leia, star pilot Poe Dameron, Rey) and the evil of Kylo Ren (Han Solo and Leia Organa's son, who precipitated the collapse of the new Jedi order). The Force Awakens has about six different endings, each of which might have worked perfectly independent of the others, and I'm here to spoil them all. There are some uncanny parallels between the generations, and a few uncomfortable family ties, but though Episode VII starts off with a few nods to the original six films, how The Force Awakens ends shows that the series will forge a new path. Taken literally, she's speaking of the fear in Finn's eyes (he's a recently defected stormtrooper) - but more broadly, she speaks to the whole premise of The Force Awakens, the new Star Wars installment that unites old and new characters.

'If you live long enough, you see the same eyes in different people,' Lupita Nyong'o's tiny, wizened alien character Maz Kanata tells Han Solo (Harrison Ford, of course) and Finn (John Boyega).
