"A decimated Resistance is trying desperately to defeat the First Order following Luke’s sacrifice at the Battle of Crait, even as the First Order has banned communications between planets. Rey still believes that there is hope that Kylo Ren can be saved, but Kylo’s become even more dedicated to his Sith path, even going as far as to track down a Sith Holocron to find Palpatine’s master. Rose Tico has a much larger role, and though there are a number of similarities, such as Finn leading a revolt of former Stormtroopers, the storming of a Star Destroyer, and the whole galaxy-spanning quest for artifacts (though it is inverted), they’re, well, very different." -VanyaLand
