Lando finally repairs the Falcon's engines.

"The hyper-drive needs replacing. Tatooine do them. For about 5000 credits."

"No. Endor is near already."

"Fine. I will go now. I did what I needed to and now I get my payment and I will go back to my home." Lando says

"What?" exclaims Rey

"I am over 60. I had my time. You lot get your victory now. The New Generation."

"Well fine. Goodbye. You don't get money. You volunteered."

Lando grunts and stomps his feet as he walks to his ship.

"Let's go."

"What about Leia and R2."

"We will go to Naboo to bury her."

"And R2?"

"We will repair him."

Poe and Chewbacca enter the cockpit and start up the engines.

"The war ends now." Rey says as she takes out a new outfit from a chest.

The Falcon takes off. The engines slowly glow bright and the ship leaves Pasaana in seconds. Finn sits in the gun turret control room.

"TIEs will be here soon."

"Scans show that all the ships are stationary on Endor. We are expecting a party."

Kylo Ren and General Hux fly a speeder to the crash site. The laser dish is sat in a dead forest.

"I feel something." Kylo says

"Then he is here." Hux replies flattly

"Yes. My destiny will be complete tonight."

The Rebellion land the Millenium Falcon on Endor.

"They are camping here. I wonder what they are after." says Poe

"Palpatine." Rey replies with disgust in her voice.

Suddenly a green beam fires into the sky.

"They have rebuilt the Death Star's laser system."

"I will find Ren. You lot find out where the laser is and destroy it."
orders Rey as she runs towards the Empire's old base.

Rey finds a small building. She gets an urge to enter.

"Rey!" a voice calls out.

Kylo Ren stands on a hill.

"You monster. You think you can win. You can't. Palpatine is dead."

"You sure? What do you think is in that building?"

"Credits? Bodies? I don't know."

Rey is thrown away from the building. A hooded figure walks outside. An evil echoing laugh follows.

"The Rebellion has lost already."

"We are strong. We can fight you to our hearts stop."

The man fires lightning at her.

"No. You can't be."

"I am...The Emperor. The Emperor of the Galaxy."
