As a new threat to the galaxy rises, Rey, a desert scavenger, and Finn, an ex-stormtrooper, must join Han Solo and Chewbacca to search for the one hope of restoring peace.
30 years after the defeat of Darth Vader and the Empire, Rey, a scavenger from the planet Jakku, finds a BB-8 droid that knows the whereabouts of the long lost Luke Skywalker. Rey, as well as a rogue stormtrooper and two smugglers, are thrown into the middle of a battle between the Resistance and the daunting legions of the First Order.Written by

On May 4, 2016, J.J. Abrams appeared outside the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway with "Hamilton" composer and star Lin-Manuel Miranda. Miranda and Abrams performed "Jabba Flow", the cantina song from this movie, that the pair had composed together. This was one of the regular performances presented for the "Ham 4 Ham" lottery, the short events outside the Richard Rogers, in conjunction with the lottery for the small number of $10 tickets to "Hamilton" that are made available daily. Since only about 20 $10 tickets are available, but thousands of people show up each day, Miranda instituted this performance series, so that the lottery ticket buyers (the vast majority of whom will never win the chance to buy a ticket) would have some consolation. Before performing the song, Miranda and Abrams explained that the song's lyrics are in Huttese, and they translate as "No, lover lover: it wasn't me", which Miranda jokingly described as a tribute to Shaggy's 2000 reggae hit "It Wasn't Me". May 4 is known as "Star Wars Day" because of the pun in the date ("May the fourth be with you."). See more »

Quotes
[first lines]
Lor San Tekka:
This will begin to make things right. I've traveled too far and seen too much to ignore the despair in the galaxy. Without the Jedi, there can be no balance in the Force.
Poe Dameron:
Well, because of you, now we have a chance. The General's been after this for a long time.
Lor San Tekka:
Oh, the General? To me, she is royalty.
Poe Dameron:
Well, she certainly is that.

This is just a poor copy with a short-haired girl with a a chip on her shoulders.
Star Wars is just another 'franchise' and 'property' for Disney to sell more tickets to suckers.
