Resistance fighters led by General Leia Organa evacuate their main base when a First Order fleet reaches the planet. After the fight the Resistance vessels jump into hyperspace to escape. Organa reprimands Commander Poe Dameron for a successful but costly counter-strike while Supreme Leader Snoke reprimands General Hux for his failure to block the evacuation. Hux tracks the Resistance and a long pursuit begins, with the Resistance relying on their spaceships' mobility and shields to survive while their fuel supplies dwindle. During one battle, Kylo Ren hesitates to attack the lead Resistance ship after sensing the presence of his mother Leia onboard. TIE fighters destroy the bridge of the ship killing many Resistance leaders. Leia is incapacitated leaving Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo in command. Disapproving of their leaders' passive strategy, Poe, Finn, BB-8 and mechanic Rose Tico embark on a secret plan to disable the First Order fleet's tracking device.
