CONTINUED:
Finn and Rey, gas masks on, quickly climb into the open
grating area.
REY
C'mon BB-8.
They help BB-8 down, too: they both struggle like crazy, he
weighs a TON.
FINN
I got it.
REY
Oooh...
FINN
I'm okay. BB-8 get off me...
UNDER THE GRATING
Finn pulls the grating over them as Rey works on the controls.
REY
You think this'll work on the
Stormtroopers?
FINN
Yeah. Their masks filter out smoke,
not toxins.
LIGHTS COME ON! SOUND of the SHIP RAMP LOWERING! Finn PULLS
THE GRATING CLOSED as he says:
FINN (CONT'D)
Hurry!
REY
I'm hurrying!
Suddenly the FALCON DOOR OPENS -- AND HAN SOLO AND CHEWBACCA
BOARD THE FALCON, weapons at the ready. PUSH IN ON THEM,
ready for combat, operating silently, with hand signals only.
HAN
Chewie, we're home.
Han gives Chewie a nod to check out the ship. Chewie heads
off one way, Han in another.
The grating above LIFTS OFF -- hands in surrender, they look
up at Han, who's training his blaster on them, threatening.
They're SCARED.
HAN (CONT'D)
Where are the others? Where's the
pilot?
REY
...I'm the pilot...
(CONTINUED

CONTINUED:
HAN
You?
Chewie MOAN-TALKS. Rey responds to him --
REY
No, it's true: we're the only ones
on board.
FINN
You can understand that thing?
HAN
And "that thing" can understand you
too, so watch it. Come on outta
there.
They climb up -- BB-8 uses his magnetic arm to quickly pull
himself out.
HAN (CONT'D)
Where'd you get this ship?
REY
Niima Outpost.
HAN
Jakku?! That junkyard?
FINN
Thank you! Junkyard!
HAN
(to Chewie)
Told ya we should've double-checked
the Western Reaches!
(to Rey)
Who had it, Ducain?
REY
I stole it from Unkar Plutt. He
stole it from the Irving Boys, who
stole it from Ducain.
HAN
Who stole it from me! Well, you
tell him Han Solo just stole back
the Millennium Falcon for good.
Han walks away, takes in the ship: it's his again. Doesn't
see that Rey is awed. His back to all of them, he smiles.
Chewie responds as Han heads toward the cockpit.
REY
This is the Millennium Falcon? You're
Han Solo?
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
HAN
I used to be.
FINN
Han Solo? The Rebellion General?
REY
No, the smuggler!
FINN
(to Chewie)
Wasn't he a war hero?!
Chewie replies: "Yeah, I guess, kinda..." Rey calls out:
REY
This is the ship that made the Kessel
Run in fourteen parsecs...!
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT - SAME
Han enters the cockpit.
HAN
Twelve! Fourteen.
A moment of private joy. Then he sees something that ANNOYS
him:
HAN (CONT'D)
Hey! Some moof-milker put a
compressor on the ignition line!
Han moves to the corridor.
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - LOUNGE AREA - DAY
REY
Unkar Plutt did. I thought it was a
mistake too, puts too much stress on
the hyperdrive--
HAN
(overlapping her)
-- Stress on the hyperdrive--
(who is she? Then:)
Chewie, throw 'em in a pod, we'll
drop them at the nearest inhabited
planet.
REY
Wait! No -- we need your help!
HAN
My help?
REY
This droid has to get to the
Resistance base as soon as possible!
(CONTINUED)

So that’s all just TFA spam huh

it s not spam its ART

CONTINUED:
FINN
He's carrying a map to Luke Skywalker.
Yup: Han stops in his tracks.
FINN (CONT'D)
You are the Han Solo that fought
with the Rebellion. You knew him.
The mention of Luke has really hit Han. He turns to Finn.
HAN
Yeah, I knew him. I knew Luke.
Suddenly: a distant, METALLIC KA-CHUNK!
HAN (CONT'D)
Don't tell me a Rathtar's gotten
loose--
Han hurries out -- they all follow, (Chewie, Rey, Finn, then
BB-8), Finn with WILD CONCERN:
FINN
Wait -- a what?! Did you just say
Rathtars? Hey!
INT. CARGO SHIP - HANGAR - DAY
The Falcon is parked in this giant freighter's hangar. Han
moves to a CONTROL PANEL, they all follow him.
FINN
You're not hauling Rathtars on this
freighter, are you?
HAN
I'm hauling Rathtars.
On the CONTROL PANEL: IMAGES ON SCREENS FROM ALL AROUND THE
SHIP. Including the EXTERIOR, where a TRANSPORT SHIP is
LANDING ON THE FREIGHTER. Han is fearful.
HAN (CONT'D)
Oh great. It's the Guavian Death
Gang -- they must've tracked us from
Nantoon.
Han heads off as:
REY
What's a Rathtar?
INT. CARGO SHIP - CARGO CONTAINER CORRIDOR - DAY
Han leads our group down a LONG NARROW HALL lined with cargo
containers.
(CONTINUED)

I’m just saying the sentinels would treat it as spam
Ofc it’s art in its purest form

CONTINUED: HAN
They're big and dangerous...
FINN
Y'ever heard of the Trillia Massacre?!
REY
No.
FINN
Good.
They turn a corner:
HAN
I got three of 'em going to King
Prana.
FINN
THREE?! How'd you get them on board?
HAN
I used to have a bigger crew.
Chewie GROAN-TALKS, concurring.
CUT TO: LOOKING UP AS A HATCH OPENS IN THE FLOOR. HAN AND
CO. ARE THERE.
HAN
Get below deck and stay there until
I say so -- don't even think about
taking the Falcon.
REY
What about BB-8?
HAN
He stays with me -- until I get rid
of the gang, then you can have him
back and be on your way.
FINN
What about the Rathtars... where are
you keeping them?
A TERRIFYING BAM: a GROTESQUE RATHTAR GIANT TONGUE SLAMS
into the CARGO CONTAINER window behind Finn, whose heart
stops.
HAN
There's one.
REY
What are you gonna do?
HAN
Same thing I always do: talk my way
out of it.
(Chewie MOAN-TALKS)
Yes, I do. Every time.

INT. CARGO SHIP - NARROW CORRIDOR - DAY
A PORTAL opens. The GUAVIAN DEATH GANG enters. One man in
a SUIT (BALA-TIK), and five SECURITY SOLDIERS in badass
UNIFORMS with ROUND-FACE HELMETS. They turn into and stop
at one end of the corridor. Han, Chewie and BB-8 forty feet
away in the middle of the long hall.
BALA-TIK
Han Solo. You are a dead man.
Han smiles innocently, friendly. BB-8 nervously looks back
and forth at the gang, and Han.
HAN
Bala-Tik. What's the problem?
BALA-TIK
The problem is we loaned you fifty
thousand for this job.
INTERCUT WITH:
INT. CARGO SHIP - BELOW FLOOR GRATING - DAY
They look up, trying to get a view.
REY
Can you see them?
FINN
No.
They start crawling down the crawl space.
BALA-TIK
I heard you also borrowed fifty
thousand from Kanjiklub.
HAN
You know you can't trust those little
freaks! How long've we known each
other?
Rey and Finn arrive under the gang. They WHISPER:
REY
They have blasters...
FINN
A lot of 'em.
We RISE THROUGH THE FLOOR to see the GANG and Han and company
in the distance.
BALA-TIK
The question is how much longer will
we know each other? Not long. We
want our money back now.
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
HAN
Ya think hunting Rathtars is cheap?
I spent that money.
BALA-TIK
Kanjiklub wants their investment
back, too.
HAN
I never made a deal with Kanjiklub!
BALA-TIK
Tell that to Kanjiklub.
The SOUND of a PORTAL OPENING. Han's face GOES WHITE as he
turns to the OTHER END OF THE CORRIDOR, where KANJIKLUB
MEMBERS APPEAR. A GANG in a MEDIEVAL BANDITO style.
Han smiles uncomfortably at the Kanjiklub members. Its
LEADER, TASU LEECH, out front. Han tries to play it off:
HAN
Tasu Leech. Good to see you.
Tasu speaks an alien language, we SUBTITLE:
TASU LEECH
Wrong again, Solo. It's over for
you.
Tasu COCKS HIS WEAPON, there for blood. BB-8 is nervous.
Finn and Rey react to the sounds of the new gang -- start
CRAWLING BACK the other way to see them.
HAN
Boys. You're both gonna get
what I promised! Have I ever
not delivered for you before?
BALA-TIK
Yeah.
TASU LEECH
Twice!
Han realizes he's right.
HAN
What was the second time?
BALA-TIK
Your game is old. There's no one in
the galaxy left for you to swindle.
TASU LEECH
Nowhere left for you to hide.
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
BALA-TIK
That BB unit... the First Order is
looking for one just like it. And
two fugitives.
Finn and Rey SUDDENLY STOP CRAWLING, tense.
BB-8 hides behind Han's leg. PUSH IN ON Han as he realizes:
Finn and Rey are in real trouble.
HAN
First I've heard of it.
Below the grating, Finn and Rey look at each other, afraid.
Above, another Kanjiklubber (RAZOO QIN-FEE) says (SUBTITLED):
RAZOO QIN-FEE
Search the freighter.
One of the Kanjiklubbers begins moving down the corridor,
AIMING A FLASHLIGHT DOWN BELOW, searching for:
FINN AND REY, in a QUIET PANIC BELOW: THEY START CRAWLING
FAST in the opposite direction they came.
Rey crawls off fast, Finn follows. They quickly arrive at
a JUNCTION BOX AREA, Rey looking at the controls.
REY
Wait wait wait wait. If we close
the blast doors in that corridor, we
can trap both gangs!
FINN
Close the blast doors from here?
REY
Resetting the fuses should do it.
Rey begins RESETTING the FUSES, SPARKS shooting from them as
they do. Finn quickly joins in.
Rey and Finn FINISH resetting the fuses boxes. Rey smiles
optimistically. Finn looks hopeful too.
DOWN AN EMPTY ROW OF LARGE CONTAINERS, which OPEN -- and a
GIANT RATHTAR -- an ENORMOUS, FIERCE AND RAVENOUS LAND OCTOPUS --
SLITHERS OUT OF ITS CAGE!
BACK UP TOP as BANKS OF LIGHTS BEGIN GOING OFF, ONE BY ONE.
The GANGS look around.
Han's eyes go wide -- he gets it -- and it's bad. QUIETLY:
HAN
... I got a bad feeling about this...
Suddenly all the LIGHTS COME ON AGAIN -- even down below,

where Rey realizes it hasn't gone as planned.
REY
Oh no.
FINN
Oh no, what?
REY
(pale)
Wrong fuses.
IN ANOTHER CORRIDOR, BACK WITH THE GANGS:
BALA-TIK
Kill them! And take the droid!
The gangs AIM THEIR WEAPONS JUST AS A RATHTAR APPEARS BEHIND
THE GUAVIAN DEATH GANG, GRABBING TWO MEMBERS! THE OTHERS
SCREAM AND RUN! The gang FIRES BACK -- BLASTS FLY!
Han and Chewie react, flinching -- then turn to Kanjiklub as
a RATHTAR APPEARS BEHIND THEM, ROARING DEAFENINGLY! The
Gang turns -- others run, FIRE AT IT.
INT. CARGO SHIP CORRIDOR A - DAY
Han, Chewie and BB-8 race down the hall -- A MEMBER OF THE
KANJIKLUB GANG comes around the corner. Han PUNCHES him
with one blow, throws him toward the Rathtar. They keep
steppin....
INT. CARGO SHIP - BELOW FLOOR GRATING - DAY
Rey and Finn hurriedly crawl through the space below decks.
FINN
This was a mistake!
REY
Huge!
INT. CARGO SHIP CORRIDOR A - DAY
Two Guavian Death Gang members run through the ship -- passing
Tasu Leech, who sees another Kanjiklub member down the
corridor -- who gets GRABBED BY A TENTACLE! Tasu tries to
help him, but he gets PULLED UP AND AWAY! Tasu hears a
distant terror-scream of a Rathtar, and runs the other way.
Other Kanjiklub members YELL at him to avoid that direction --
they all turn a corner -- a RATHTAR IS THERE AND GRABS THE
TWO OTHERS! Tasu FIRES at the beast and RUNS OFF -- and we
land on a FLOOR HATCH, which opens. Rey and Finn climb out,
quickly.
They turn a corridor --
REY
What do they look like?
(CONTINUED)

LMAO 66 is close

CONTINUED:
Another corner -- and GANG MEMBERS ARE BATTLING A HORRIBLE
RATHTAR! Rey COVERS HER MOUTH.
FINN
They look like that.
Finn yanks her away. They race around another corner -- a
RATHTAR IS THERE!
FINN (CONT'D)
This way!
REY
Are you sure?
They scream and run off -- but Finn is GRABBED, PULLED AWAY
FAST!
REY (CONT'D)
FINN!
But the Rathtar's fast and TURNS A CORNER, losing Rey --
FINN
REY!
INT. CARGO SHIP CORRIDOR E - DAY
TIGHT ON FINN as he's being yanked down the hall, SCREAMING
as he struggles to get loose!
Rey turns the corner -- Finn is gone -- nowhere to be seen.
REY
FINN!!!!
Without Finn, she is instantly distraught -- then she
realizes: SHE'S JUST PASSED A CONTROL PANEL! Her eyes light
up as she moves to it: a BANK OF VIDEO MONITORS OF THE SHIP --
and there's Finn, being dragged by a Rathtar toward an OPEN
BLAST DOOR. Rey's hand on the button, she waits... then
SLAMS THE BUTTON!
INT. CARGO SHIP CORRIDOR B - DAY
The BLAST DOOR INSTANTLY CLOSES ON ONE OF THE RATHTAR'S
TENTACLES! It SCREAMS IN PAIN, ITS SEVERED TENTACLE STILL
WRAPPED AROUND FINN'S LEG! Finn scrambles up, desperately
shaking the sticky tentacle off his leg!
Rey arrives, runs to Finn, beaming to see him alive -- he is
adrenaline-rushed, in shock:
REY
Finn!
FINN
It had me! But the door--!
(CONTINUED)

NO WAIT STOP FOR A MOMENT
we gotta have an Execute order 66 post and then some roger roger thing
So eo66 would be 665th

and dyettodptw will be 64th

CONTINUED:
REY
That was lucky!
ANOTHER CORRIDOR - Finn and Rey run towards the Falcon.
INT. CARGO SHIP CORRIDOR D - DAY
Han, Chewie and BB-8 take cover, Han exchanging BLASTER FIRE
with GANG MEMBERS AT THE OTHER END OF THE HALL.
HAN
I got the door. Cover us!
Chewie GROAN-AGREES. Chewie FIRES DOWN THE HALL as Han
CROSSES THE CORRIDOR, BB-8 following nervously. As Chewie
exchanges blaster fire, Han works the controls.
THE HATCH OPENS (FALCON in the distance) -- just as CHEWIE
IS HIT IN THE SHOULDER BY ENEMY FIRE! He goes down with a
LOUD GROAN!
HAN (CONT'D)
Chewie! You okay?
Han GRABS CHEWIE'S BOWCASTER, FIRES at the DOOR CONTROLS,
BADASS!
HAN (CONT'D)
(looks at bowcaster)
Wow. Come on! Come on!
INT. CARGO SHIP HANGAR - DAY
Run with Finn and Rey as they turn into the hangar, toward
the Falcon. Han helps WOUNDED CHEWIE up the ramp, sees them.
REY
Han!
Finn and Rey race past BB-8 -- as they go up the ramp, Han
says to Rey:
HAN
You, close the door behind us!
(to Finn)
You take care of Chewie!
Han and Rey race up the ramp as Finn heads up with Chewie,
who SCREAMS WILDLY IN PAIN!
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT - DAY
Han stands at the navicomputer, hitting switches. Rey enters
fast, moves past him to Chewie's seat.
HAN
Hey, where are you going?
(CONTINUED

Unless we want 66 pages but I’m too tired for that

CONTINUED:
REY
Unkar Plutt installed a fuel pump
too -- if we don't prime that we're
not going anywhere.
HAN
I hate that guy.
Han sits as, Rey hitting buttons:
REY
And you could use a co-pilot.
HAN
I got one, he's back there.
IN THE LOUNGE, CHEWIE IS IN PAIN --
INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT - DAY
Han and Rey in the seats:
HAN
Watch the thrust, we're goin' out of
here at lightspeed --
REY
(shocked)
From inside the hangar? Is that
even possible?
HAN
I never ask that question until after
I've done it.
A RATHTAR JUMPS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD -- REY SCREAMS! Its
GIANT MOUTH CHEWING AT THE GLASS! Han works the controls:
HAN (CONT'D)
This is not how I thought this day
was gonna go -- angle the shields --
Hang on back there!
IN THE LOUNGE, Chewie is in pain -- Finn going through a
first aid kit -- the ship is HIT again --
FINN
(huge problem)
No problem!
INT. CARGO SHIP - HANGAR - DAY
Three GANG MEMBERS race out here and FIRE AT THE FALCON --
hitting FUEL LINES, BLASTING THE SHIP HARD!
The ship is hit.

INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT - DAY
HAN
Come on baby, don't let me down!
He hits a switch -- but NOTHING.
HAN (CONT'D)
What?!
But Rey reaches over, hits a switch, matter-of-factly.
REY
Compressor.
Han doesn't like it but she's right -- he hits the switch
again and the HYPERDRIVE FIRES! The hangar is FILLED WITH
LIGHTSPEED BLAST as the ATTACKING GANG MEMBERS ARE BLASTED
BACK LIKE DRY LEAVES. In the cockpit the RATHTAR RIPS AWAY
as THE STARS STRETCH LIKE ELASTIC and we CUT TO:
EXT. CARGO SHIP - DAY
Camera ROTATES as the Falcon DISAPPEARS IN A STREAK, leaving
the cargo ship behind.
INT. CARGO SHIP - DAY
PUSH IN on a HANGAR DOOR where Bala-Tik arrives at the window,
SEETHING. Makes a CALL:
BALA-TIK
Inform the First Order that Han Solo
has the droid they want. And it's
aboard the Millennium Falcon.
EXT. STARKILLER BASE - DAY
A pair of TIE fighters roar towards a magnificent PLANET,
frozen WHITE. This is the STARKILLER BASE, a natural planet
that has been hacked and modified into something sinister.
Over this we HEAR a DEEP, almost SOOTHING VOICE. A voice
very much in control, of power:
SNOKE (V.O.)
The droid will soon be delivered to
the Resistance...
INT. STARKILLER PLANET - ASSEMBLY ROOM - NIGHT
KYLO REN and General Hux in a dark space, looking UPWARD at
someone addressing them.
We're in a massive and dark ASSEMBLY ROOM. Hundreds of DESKS
in a stadium arc, focused on a platform where we see SUPREME
LEADER SNOKE. Not entirely human, at nearly twenty-five
feet tall. All of him a STONY GREY. Old, wounded, fragile
and powerful, all at the same time.
