Overview

Set three decades after the Battle of Endor, the galaxy faces a new threat in the form of the First Order, aiming to crush the New Republic. General Leia Organa leads the Resistance against them, desperately searching for her missing brother, Luke Skywalker. The story begins on the desert planet Jakku, where Resistance pilot Poe Dameron obtains a map to Luke's location. However, a First Order attack led by Kylo Ren results in Poe's capture, leaving BB-8, a droid carrying the vital map, in the hands of a scavenger named Rey.

A chance encounter with Finn, a disillusioned former Stormtrooper, propels them on a quest to deliver the map to the Resistance. Along the way, they join forces with familiar faces like Han Solo and Chewbacca. Starkiller Base, a superweapon capable of planetary destruction, becomes a focal point as the First Order seeks to eliminate the New Republic. Rey's mysterious connection to the Force deepens, revealing her potential as a Jedi.

As secrets of the past unravel, the Resistance faces imminent danger, culminating in a climactic battle. Tragedy strikes when Starkiller Base unleashes its devastating power, and the confrontation between father and son, Han Solo and Kylo Ren, takes a heartbreaking turn. The film concludes with Rey's journey leading her to the elusive Luke Skywalker on the oceanic planet Ahch-To, where she presents him with his lightsaber, setting the stage for an eagerly anticipated final showdown between the forces of good and evil. The fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats, yearning for the epic conclusion in the next chapter.
