The First Order were technically beaten in The Force Awakens, insofar as their planet-destroying base became a destroyed planet itself. However, the organisation itself is still going strong, and while Starkiller is no more there is a power vacuum in the galaxy, and they're ready to fill it.

The Republic's seat was taken out, and Johnson has said that the First Order will be capitalising on that in The Last Jedi, adding: "They’re making some big moves at the start of our film, so things are gonna get dire.”

It sounds like they definitely have a plan, then, and one that doesn't bode well for our heroes, but what exactly is it? Is whatever's going down on Crait their major power play, or will there be a different target?
