On Jakku, a young woman who calls herself Rey struggles to live in an isolation necessary for her own survival. And among the stars, Poe Dameron strives to serve a Republic he has always believed in as sinister powers threaten to break his resolve.
These are their stories in the days, weeks, and months before The Force Awakens.
