Han,Chewie,Poe and Finn rescue Rey, but in mid conflict realize that Kylo is Ben Solo. Kylo is forced by Snoke to attack the capital Coruscant and kill his father to complete his training. Kylo and the First Order destroys the capital, and kills Han. Rey fights Kylo with Luke's green lightsaber and manages to beat Kylo. The Republic wins at a great cost and the message is sent about the power of First Order. Rey is sent to meet Luke and persuade him to return. No Starkiller base, only a Pearl Harbor-esque attack with Star Destroyers, Tie Fighters and ground troops.
