Luke Skywalker has vanished!
And the First Order has taken control. All that's left is to find Luke and destroy him. Leia, Luke's sister, is searching for him. If she can find him, then there's still hope to bring some order and peace to the galaxy.

That takes us to the planet Jakku. We meet a pilot named Poe who is on a mission to retrieve a map. He has the map—something the First Order finds out. So they show up and start blasting, all "pew pew." Kylo Ren arrives, and he’s clearly the one in charge. He’s even got a voice thing like Darth Vader. He's awesome. He captures Poe, convinced he has the map. But Poe already gave it to his droid, BB-8.

We see one stormtrooper who seems to be struggling—maybe starting to doubt if he's on the right side of history. His name is FN-2187, but we’ll call him Finn.

Then we meet Rey. She’s out there grinding, scavenging for quarter portions. It’s tough out there. One evening, she finds BB-8 and likes him enough that she turns down an offer of 60 portions just to keep him.

Meanwhile, Kylo Ren uses the Force to learn more about BB-8. Finn decides he’s had enough and helps Poe escape—they steal a ship, but it’s shot down. Finn survives and assumes Poe was killed when the ship sinks into quicksand. All that’s left is Poe’s jacket.

Finn meets Rey and BB-8. The First Order is hot on their trail, so they steal the Millennium Falcon and escape.

Han Solo and Chewbacca track the Falcon and agree to team up with them.

We start to see Kylo Ren struggling with the pull of the light side. When Supreme Leader Snoke orders an attack on the New Republic, he senses Kylo’s hesitation. He suspects it's because of Kylo’s father… HAN SOLO! Kylo says it won’t be a problem, but then we see him speaking to Darth Vader’s helmet, asking for strength to stay on the dark side.

Aboard the Falcon, Han realizes that BB-8’s map is incomplete. He explains that Luke tried to rebuild the Jedi Order but went into exile after an apprentice turned to the dark side.

Han takes the group to meet Maz, a cantina owner, who offers to help get BB-8 to the Resistance. The Force draws Rey to an underground vault where she finds Anakin Skywalker’s lightsaber. When she touches it, she has disturbing visions and decides not to take it. Maz gives the lightsaber to Finn for safekeeping.

The First Order attacks and tracks down the Falcon. They’re hunting for BB-8. Kylo captures Rey because he knows she’s seen the map.

Resistance fighters led by Poe arrive to save the others. And guess what—LEIA IS BACK, BABY!

Rey resists Kylo’s mind-reading attempts and realizes she may have the Force. She tries a Jedi mind trick on a stormtrooper—and it works. She escapes just before Kylo comes to take her to Snoke, who is not pleased.

The Resistance devises a plan to destroy the First Order’s new superweapon by targeting its weakness—because seriously, these guys never learn. Using the Falcon, Han, Chewbacca, and Finn infiltrate the base. Finn finds Rey, who’s already working on escaping, and they plant explosives.

Han confronts Kylo, calling him by his real name—Ben—and pleads with him to leave the dark side. Kylo, with tears on his cheeks, seems tempted… but then stabs Han through the chest with a lightsaber and lets him fall to his death. Chewbacca, enraged, shoots Kylo and injures him. They manage to escape while Rey and Finn head into the snowy woods.

Kylo follows. He knocks Rey out with the Force and duels Finn, eventually defeating him. Rey regains consciousness, uses the Force to call the lightsaber to her, and fights Kylo. She wins.

Chewbacca rescues Rey and the injured Finn, and they escape aboard the Falcon just as the First Order base explodes.

Back at the Resistance base, R2-D2 wakes up and reveals he has the missing piece of the map to Luke.

Rey travels to a remote island and finds Luke atop a cliff. She holds out his lightsaber.

Nurse Monica Miller has been working hard, hoping a promotion is just around the corner. But it doesn’t come. Feeling disheartened, she visits her mom, who gives her some simple but powerful advice: go walk the Camino. So, she does.

Monica heads to Spain and meets Luis, who helps her with her shoes—and if that’s not love, I don’t know what is. Along the journey, they stay in homes of kind locals who welcome pilgrims. Luis is traveling with his son, Mateo, and his parents, which stirs up some tension—especially since all he really wants to do is talk to Monica. He even rides back on horseback to retrieve her devotional book. What a guy.

One night, they’re sitting by the fire and almost kiss, but they stop when the power goes out and they’re left in the glow of the flames—because of course that would be too romantic to actually follow through.

Now, something you should know about Luis: he avoids spending time with his son, Mateo, as much as possible. Mateo doesn’t seem to care—until one night when Luis misses family dinner because he lost track of time hanging out with Monica. That’s when things shift.

Monica starts to feel like she’s getting in the way of Luis and Mateo’s Camino experience, so she quietly slips away.

Later, Mateo turns to his dad and asks, “Do you love her?” And Luis is like, “Yeah.” So off they go to find her.

They arrive at what many consider the end of the Camino—but she’s not there. She kept walking. Monica makes it to the true end of the path and kneels to pray. Just then, Luis shows up, interrupts her prayer, and is like, “Hey, boo boo.”

They decide they want to walk through life together—and they kiss.

We meet The Balsano family. They are all getting together at the old family home. It's a huge family gathering, complete with dads talking about robots, baking, grandma, and kids playing video games. We see in the basement, there is a "for sale" sign that's kind of been put in a corner. They all rush outside to cheer as firetrucks speed down the streets, all decked out in Christmas lights. And, of course, Santa Claus. Afterwards, we find out that not only are the parents secretly selling the house, but it's already done.
They come back inside, eat dinner , and do Secret Santa. As the rest of the family sits down to watch old home videos, two of the teenage girls, Emily & Michelle, sneak out to hang out with their friends. As they speed down the back roads, we see some police officers going full speed gun mode on Christmas Eve. But they don't care. They don't do anything.
They meet up with some other teenagers. They all meet up at a diner and then go get some beers. One of the dumb boys ends up throwing one of the beers which lands on a windshield in the parking lot that shatters. The cops are called but they're too busy talking about their hypothetical feelings for one another to do anything about it.
The teenagers scatter and go to make-out point where they all just kind of pair off into the back of cars.
Emily grabs her bag of bagels and heads home as one of the family members falls asleep on the piano.

Vice Principal Jo is bustling around backstage at the school theater. She trips, and her glasses fall off. She looks up and thinks she sees a total hunk—but who can be sure?

She steps out from backstage, and we see the same chaotic scene from the first film, where all the moms bump into each other. Smile. Love Club. Group photo.

Fast forward six months: Jo is now dating the choir director, Karim, and she’s been promoted to Principal! But something’s off—she doesn’t seem quite happy.

So, she reaches out to the Love Club.

Jo confesses that Karim might be ready to take the relationship to the next level, but she’s just not sure she feels the same way. The next day, she sees that same hunk from six months ago... and realizes she knows him. It’s Ryan, and his son, Simon, is a student at the school. Turns out Simon’s been having some trouble.

Jo and Ryan get into an argument, and he storms off. That’s when it hits her—not only does she know him... he’s her ex-husband.

She tells the Love Club that she spontaneously married Ryan at 18, and it was a huge mistake.

Then Karim proposes via Yahtzee, and Jo tells him she needs time to think. The Love Club suspects Jo still has feelings for Ryan. So Tory drags her over to his house—where he’s washing car mats with his shirt off (of course). Sparks start to fly over the car... until a massive argument breaks out about who actually ended their marriage. Jo storms off and calls Karim. She says yes.

But just as she starts planning another wedding, she finds out... she’s still married to Ryan.

She confronts him and asks him to come to City Hall to finalize the annulment. But first, he takes her on a surprise detour—to their old high school. Cue the nostalgia. Cue the flying sparks.

Ultimately, Jo decides to break things off with Karim. But when she shows up to talk to Ryan—his baby mama is there.

Heartbroken, she decides to move forward with the annulment.

But then, Simon sees the papers and decides to play matchmaker. He traps both Jo and Ryan in detention, forcing them to talk things out and—yes—make out.

They celebrate at the school carnival, where Jo gets dunk tanked, and then they kiss in front of all the kids.
