The ''[[Star Wars]]'' movies became stagnant after the release of ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' and the prequel trilogy, since the overreaching plot was intended to end with Luke Skywalker saving his father from the Dark Side, which was accomplished towards the end of Episode VI. However, with [[George Lucas]] selling the rights to the franchise to [[Disney]] in 2012, a new opportunity for progress was created. With it, a new trilogy of mainline films and at least two expository movies were made as the years passed. The first of these, '''''The Force Awakens''''', became the seventh film in the main continuity of the ''[[Star Wars]]'' franchise.

A few decades after the fall of the Galactic Empire on ''Jedi'', the remnants of the Empire have reformed into the First Order in order to conquer the reformed Galactic Republic, with Leia being given command of a military force known as the Resistance. Luke has vanished into thin air, and Leia wants to find him so he can help her in defeating the First Order, that has between their leaders Kylo Ren, one of Luke's jedi apprentices that turned against him.
{{Needs More Info}}


Resistance's pilot Poe Dameron is given information about Luke's location by an elderly man living on desertic planet Jakku, Lor san Tekka, a map with partial coordinates to the elder Skywalker's sibling. However, the First Order and Ren arrive just as he receives said information and faced with likely capture, he sends his astromech droid BB-8, away.

BB-8 ends up meeting a young scavenger called Rey. Meanwhile, Poe manages to escape the First Order's hold with the help of a defective Stormtrooper called FN-2187, that Poe dubs Finn. However, while trying to return to Jakku, the ship they used to escape are shot down, and Finn is led to believe Poe is dead as his ship is swallowed by a sand creature.

Coincidentally, he ends up finding Rey in a nearby settlement, and the fact he is wearing Poe's jacket make she and Poe's droid attack him, mistaking him for a thief. As they clear their misunderstanding, the First Order attacks the settlement, and they're forced to escape Jakku, with now the objective of taking the information BB-8 have to the Resistance.

Directed by [[J.J. Abrams]].
