and Chewbacca in a desperate search for the one hope of restoring
peace to the galaxy.
Characters
----------
Rey - Rey was a human female scavenger who discovered her latent
Force-sensitivity while on a quest to find the legendary Jedi
Master Luke Skywalker and bring a new hope to a galaxy on the
brink of war. Rey grew up in the wastes of the desert planet
Jakku, where she was left by her family for reasons unknown to
her. Rey's life changed forever when she encountered BB-8, a
Resistance astromech droid who carried information about Luke
Skywalker's whereabouts; and a stormtrooper named Finn who
defected from the First Order.
Finn - Finn was a human male who served as a First Order
stormtrooper, designation FN-2187 and known to his fellow
soldiers as Eight-Seven. He was considered one of the group's
best stormtroopers before he deserted to join the Resistance in
their struggle against the First Order. Having left the First
Order, he took on the name "Finn" at the suggestion of Resistance
pilot Poe Dameron, based on his stormtrooper designation, having
never been given an actual name. After leaving the First Order,
he reluctantly became involved in the droid BB-8's quest to
rejoin the Resistance, and escaped the desert planet Jakku with
BB-8 and a scavenger named Rey.
Han Solo - Han Solo was a human male smuggler who became a leader
in the Alliance to Restore the Republic and an instrumental
figure in the defeat of the Galactic Empire during the Galactic
Civil War. He hailed from Corellia and became the best smuggler
in the employ of Jabba the Hutt, even completing the Kessel Run
in less than twelve parsecs with his prized ship, the Millennium
Falcon. He was best friends with the Wookiee Chewbacca, his
trusted co-pilot who swore a life debt to the Corellian smuggler.
Solo ran afoul of Jabba after d a shipment of spice to
avoid trouble with the Empire, owing the Hutt a great deal of
money as a result.
Princess Leia - Leia Organa was a Force-sensitive human female
who served as the princess of Alderaan, a member of the Imperial
Senate, a leader in the Alliance to Restore the Republic and New
Republic, and the founding general of the Resistance. Through it
all, she became instrumental in the defeat of the Galactic Empire
in the Galactic Civil War and led the fight against the First
Order. She was born nineteen years before the Battle of Yavin as
the daughter of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padmé
Amidala.
Kylo Ren - Kylo Ren, a human male, was a Force warrior and a
former Jedi trainee under his uncle, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker,
before Ren destroyed Skywalker's attempt to restore the Jedi
Order and became an apprentice of Supreme Leader Snoke of the
First Order. Originally named Ben, he was born after the Battle
of Endor to Princess Leia Organa and General Han Solo, whose
tumultuous marriage left Ben with feelings of abandonment. This
was exploited by the Supreme Leader, who tempted him to the dark
side of the Force.
