It's been 30 years since the Battle of Endor and the fall of the Empire. The First Order, an organisation founded by the Empire, is fighting the Resistance, as the remains of the Alliance are known today. The battle lines are drawn and a sinister presence threatens to plunge the galaxy in the darkness again, but everything changes when a soldier lost on a remote planet runs into some strangers and starts an epic quest to find the greatest warrior in the galaxy.
