In the wake of the destruction of the Starkiller Base, the Resistance is on the run from the relentless First Order. Led by General Leia Organa, Resistance fighters including former stormtrooper Finn, ace pilot Poe Dameron, and maintenance worker Rose Tico, embark on a desperate mission to ensure their survival. As the Resistance struggles to find allies and fend off the encroaching enemy, the First Order, under the command of Supreme Leader Snoke and his ruthless apprentice Kylo Ren, closes in, determined to crush the rebellion once and for all. Meanwhile, on a remote island, Rey, a strong-willed scavenger from Jakku, seeks out the reclusive Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, hoping to bring him back into the fray and learn the ways of the Force.

Rey finds Luke Skywalker, who is hesitant to return to a galaxy in turmoil and unwilling to be the savior Rey and the Resistance seek. Despite his reluctance, Rey persists in her efforts to persuade Luke while grappling with her own burgeoning abilities and a mysterious, telepathic connection with Kylo Ren that blurs the lines between light and dark. As Rey's training progresses, she confronts the truths about the Force, her own past, and the choices that will define her destiny. Simultaneously, loyalty and treachery come into play aboard the First Order's ships, setting the stage for profound shifts in power.
