finn, along with poe, intercepts a message from a first order mole that emperor palpatine (ian mcdiarmid) has come back to life and is planning an attack on the resistance in the form of the final order, a massive fleet of star destroyers. finn then leaves along with rey, poe, c-3po, and chewbacca to the desert planet of passana, where with the help of lando calrissian (billy dee williams) they locate a dagger that contains a clue to a sith wayfinder, a compass to the sith planet exegol. throughout the whole journey, finn clearly has something he wants to tell rey, but is unable to find the time to tell her. their journey takes them to kijimi, where the location of the wayfinder is extracted from c-3po's memory files, and later to the first order's command ship, where finn and poe go to rescue chewbacca, who was taken by the first order. in the process, finn and poe are captured by stormtroopers and set to be executed, but they are rescued by general hux (domnhall gleeson), who reveals that he is the mole. going free, finn and poe rescue rey aboard the "millennium falcon" and head to the endor system, where the wayfinder is located among the wreckage of the second death star.
