Kylo Ren, having met with the cloned Palpatine and summed the Knights of Ren, searches for Rey who he believes is destined to rule the galaxy alongside him. Rey, Finn, Poe, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and BB-8 follow a clue from Luke’s notes to Pasaana, where they hope to find a Sith wayfinder to guide them to Exegol.

Rey, meanwhile, has continued her Jedi training under General Leia Solo, while Poe Dameron, Finn, and Chewbacca bring information from a spy within the First Order that Ren has access to a new fleet on Exegol, a world controlled by the Sith. A message purporting to be from Emperor Sheev Palpatine, though dead after the Battle of Endor, incites Kylo Ren to seek out the Sith Lord. The story picks up approximately a year after the events of “The Rise of Skywalker,” with the Resistance in tatters doing its best to assemble allies and strategically strike at the First Order, whose grasp extends throughout the galaxy.
