Abrams STARRING: Daisy Ridley (Rey), John Boyega (Finn), Adam Driver (Kylo Ren), Harrison Ford (Han Solo), Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Carrie Fisher (Leia), Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron) GENRE: Science-fiction Sequel to Return of the Jedi (1983), seventh film in the Skywalker Saga SYNOPSIS Thirty years after the final battle of Endor, the galaxy is once more in peril: the First Order has risen from the ashes of the Galactic Empire and tries to end the New Republic. It is opposed by General Leia Organa and the Resistance: both Leia and the First Order seek to find the missing Jedi Master Luke Skywalker (Leia s twin) who exiled himself when one of his apprentices (Kylo) turned to the dark side and slaughtered the other apprentices. In the midst of this search, new heroes are introduced: Rey, a 19-year-old girl and a Force-sensitive scavenger from Jakku; Finn, a stormtrooper who defected from the First Order; and Poe Dameron, the best pilot in the Resistance. They are aided by Han Solo and Chewbacca in their search for Skywalker and their mission to destroy the First Order s new superweapon, Starkiller Base , which targets the New Republic and the Resistance for destruction. They are mainly opposed by the powerful dark warrior Kylo Ren (Han Solo and Leila s son): when Han Solo confronts Kylo, calling him by his birth-name Ben, and implores him to abandon the dark side, Kylo kills him. Rey proves herself stronger with the Force than Kylo by resisting his mind-reading attempts and by defeating him in a duel where she uses Luke s lightsaber. After destroying the Starkiller Base, the full map to reach Luke is restored: Rey travels to Luke s remote planet and finds him atop a cliff on a large island and silently presents him with his lightsaber. lightsaber: spada laser scavenger: persona che rovista nei rifiuti to slaughter: massacrare stormtrooper: soldato delle truppe d assalto 116 Shaping and joining materialS MechPower.indb 116 30/01/24 17:08
