About The Force Awakens
True Star Wars fans will need no introduction, but if you'd like some background info:
It's thirty years since the destruction of the second Death Star. The sinister First Order, commanded by the mysterious Snoke and apprentice Kylo Ren, rise from the ashes of the Empire. The Resistance, led by General Leia Organa, attempts to thwart the First Order's threat, but they're desperate for help.
Rey, a desert scavenger, and Finn, an ex-storm trooper, find themselves joining forces with Han Solo and Chewbacca in a desperate mission to return a BB-unit droid with a map to Luke Skywalker back to the Resistance.
