The Resistance is scattered, pursued across the stars. Darth Kylo Ren has assumed command of the First Order, renaming it the Sovereign Flame—a cult of Sith loyalists, bioengineered warriors, and corrupted Force ghosts. Finn, now aware of his connection to the Force, travels to the Wellspring of Life, an ancient Jedi planet once guarded by the Daughter of Mortis, seeking balance beyond light and dark. Alongside Jaina and Rose, he discovers the buried truth about the Force, the Whills, and the Mortis gods. Luke, still a recluse, is visited by Ahsoka and the spirit of Anakin Skywalker. He returns to guide Finn, not to rebuild the Jedi—but to pass on a new way of being. Darth Kylo grows more deranged and powerful, creating a Sith army through Talon and Sithspawn technology. He learns from the preserved knowledge of Tor Valum, an ancient Sith parasite in the Unknown Regions. The film ends in tragedy: Leia dies in a final Resistance victory, Talon kills Luke, and Darth Kylo declares the age of Sith has returned. But Finn and Jaina survive—and with them, the spark.
