Thirty years after the Empire's fall, it's adherents have reformed into the even more formidable First Order... and legendary hero Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) has vanished into a self-imposed exile. The secret of his whereabouts becomes the focus of a race between a motley band of resisters─including plucky scavenger Rey (Daisy Ridley), AWOL Stormtrooper Finn (John Boyega), and X-Wing jockey Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac)─and empirical forces spearheaded by corrupted Jedi Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). Much-anticipated and -lauded return for the space fantasy franchise from director J.J. Abrams co-stars Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Max von Sydow. 136 min.
