The first episode of Rian Johnson's spin-off trilogy. The film picks up 5 years after Star Wars: Episode IX. The First Order has fallen and the New Republic/Resistance has regained the power of the galaxy. Episode IX includes the explanation of the death of General Leia Organa, the exile of General Hux, the temporary despair of the First Order, the continued relationship of Finn and Rose, a nerve-tempting battle between Rey and Kylo, the death of Kylo Ren, and the crowning of Poe Dameron as the new General of the Resistance. The first episode of Rian Johnson's spin-off trilogy begins on the planet Orfilta. The newly discovered planet of Orfilta is where the remaining servants and knights of the First Order have escaped in-order to remain concealed from the New Republic and the Resistance. The majority of the First Order was destroyed five years earlier, but one of the Knights of Ren were able to escape. Rainier Oggata, the mysterious Knight of Ren, has spent the past five years rebuilding the First Order base on Orfilta. The citizens of Orfilta have been brained washed and turned into troopers and servants of the First Order. Due to lack of population, the First Order has also begin using the Grand Army of the Republic's cloning techniques. A mysterious and unseen Supreme Leader named Kenos is in charge of the newly organized First Order. Rainier Oggata is much too weak with the force, and therefore must use his abilities to capture someone that is strong with it; so the Supreme Leader can teach him/her the ways of the dark side. The First Order keeps under the raider, and kidnaps over fifty children around the galaxy between the ages of 15 and 18. After months of training and exercises, the First Order chooses a young fifteen year old boy named Temiri Blagg. Temiri is extremely strong with the force. The Star Wars universe met Temiri on his home planet of Canto Bight in Episode VIII; where he was around the age of 10. The New Republic/Resistance is completely unaware of the "force prison" and rebuilding of the First Order on Orfilta. The galactic war of balance is reborn and the Sith will once again rise under the First Order.
