However, events lead to the meeting of scavenger Rey (Ridley) and AWOL Stormtrooper Finn (Boyega), who together must go on a journey that sees them encountering new foes such as Sith fanatic Kylo Ren (Driver), and running into familiar faces, such as aged smuggler Han Solo (Ford), former princess Leia Organa (Fisher), and the mysteriously-MIA Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker (Hamill)…
