Rey develops her newly discovered abilities with the guidance of Luke Skywalker, who is unsettled by the strength of her powers. Meanwhile, the Resistance prepares to do battle with the First Order.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi recap
Luke refuses Rey's lightsaber and her plea to return. On Ahch-To he admits he once considered killing his nephew Ben and caused his turn to the dark side. Rey and Kylo find themselves connected through the Force, talking across the galaxy. The First Order tracks the Resistance fleet through hyperspace, Leia is blown into space and survives, and Vice Admiral Holdo takes command, clashing with Poe. Finn and the mechanic Rose Tico, who lost her sister in a bombing run, go to the casino city of Canto Bight to find a codebreaker to stop the tracking, but are betrayed. Rey learns from Kylo that her parents were nobodies who sold her for drink money, and goes to him aboard Snoke's ship, believing she can turn him.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi ending explained

The survivors, cut down to a few dozen, hide in an old rebel base on Crait, and Luke appears to face Kylo, who learns he is a projection from across the galaxy. Luke dies at peace on Ahch-To as the Resistance escapes. Rey has the Jedi texts, and a stable boy on Canto Bight looks to the stars.
