The galaxy is at war once more. The New Republic has failed to counter the growing threat of the First Order. Supreme Leader Snoke and dark-side enforcer Kylo-Ren - formerly Ben Solo - wield impressive military might to bring democracy to its knees. Ashamed by his failure to help his nephew resist the lure of the dark side, the Jedi Master Luke Skywalker vanishes.

However, the disgraced senator Leia Organa, exposed as the secret daughter of Darth Vader, does not retreat. Retaking the mantle as general, Leia reignites the spark of rebellion to form the Resistance, recruiting the best New Republic pilots and spies to prevent a new Empire from taking hold. She must gather her oldest friends and strongest allies if there is hope of success - and a powerful new ally will indeed arise as the heir of the Jedi Legacy: Rey.
