Star Wars: 10 Awesome Announcements They Need To Make At Comic-Con

2. A Plot Synopsis

Details as to what The Force Awakens is actually going to be about are very thin. It is set 30 years after the events of Return Of The Jedi, takes place partly on the new world of Jakku, it will feature new versions of the Rebels and the Empire, now known as the Resistance and the First Order, and follow the adventures of Finn (who begins as a Stormtrooper), Rey (a scavenger), Poe (a pilot working for Princess Leia), and Kylo Ren (believed to be a Sith). The actual story that will tie all of these characters together, as well as bringing in the old ones, is currently unknown. The most prominent rumour is that it€™ll involve Finn and Rey discovering Luke€™s old lightsaber, and attempting to track down the now reclusive Jedi. While they won't want to give too much away before the film is released, there should at the very least be an official plot synopsis, even if it€™s just a rather brief one.
