30 years after the Battle of Endor, the New Republic is splintered by corruption and fear. From its ruins, a powerful remnant known as the First Order rises—led by the dark apprentice Darth Kylo Ren, heir to Vader’s legacy. Finn Whelon (FN-2187), a defecting stormtrooper haunted by suppressed Force instincts, escapes a massacre on Jakku. He crosses paths with Jaina Solo, the rebellious daughter of General Leia Organa and war-weary smuggler Han Solo, and a scavenger pilot named Rose Tico. Together, they’re hunted by Darth Kylo and his Sith apprentice, Darth Talon, while Leia and old allies (Lando, Maz Kanata, and Ahsoka) try to rebuild a resistance. Luke Skywalker, now a reluctant exile, refuses to train anyone—his Jedi Temple fell to Ben Solo’s betrayal, and he has withdrawn from the Force. When Darth Kylo Ren destroys the Republic Senate, the war begins again. But Finn ignites something new—a raw, untrained power that hasn’t been seen in generations. The Force has chosen a new path.
