What’s left of the Empire (which I guess has destroyed “The New Republic”) is called “The First Order” with a “Supreme Leader” instead of an Emperor.
The new? rebels are called the “Resistance” (this was named before Trump)
Honestly it’s pretty damn stupid. But it’s better than the bizarre BS Lucas himself had in mind for a sequel trilogy, which involved microorganisms that controlled the entire universe.
This present trilogy doesn’t interest me. When I saw the dorky villain in the first installment (yeah, I know, he served in the actual military) who was a co-star on that execrable “Girls” show with the sister-molesting Lena Dunham, I thought they had hit rock bottom. Harrison Ford couldn’t save it and Mark Hamill is insufferable, and despite the cute British girl, learning she was a Communist twat was the nail in the coffin.
