Movie 2: Ben Solo discovers an ancient Sith planet with archives of their entire history. He begins his dark side training aided by an unidentified force spirit. Jaina senses Ben's turn and advises Luke, who then heads off alone (aside from R2) to save Ben and leaves Jaina in charge of the temple.
Meanwhile, after imperial ships have started attacking closer to Republic space, the senate finally agrees to intervention and a large armada heads to the outer worlds. Immediately after however a large imperial fleet appears over Coruscant and starts laying siege to the planet, headed by Admiral Thrawn. Chancellor Leia is forced to evacuate along with the senior Republic leadership, they are able to escape thanks to Admiral Ackbar throwing his own cruiser into the line of fire, where he gets an appropriate hero's death. Leia and the Republic head to Yavin-4 and the protection of the Jedi
Luke finds and confronts Ben, who now goes by Darth Ren. Luke battles him and his Knights of Ren, but senses that he cannot win and pulls an Obi-Wan to "become more powerful than they could ever imagine". Leia and Jaina are both hit hard by Luke's "death", the Republic is in shambles, and it appears a new era of darkness is at hand. End credits
