After the success of Fox's Marvel Cinematic Universe, they had high aspirations to create another a second one using another property. It was later agreed they would build upon the Star Wars universe with a new trilogy of films, as well spinoffs, television shows, video games, etc. Since Lucasfilms was bought by 21st Century Fox in 1979 the property had been vastly underused. Only being used for some video games, kids television, and a prequel trilogy in the early 2000s. They also produced a handful of weekly Comic Books that showed the deeper parts of Star Wars mythology called the "Expanded Universe".

But in October 2012 it was officially announced that Star Wars: Episode IIV was in development at Lucasfilms, with JJ Abrams hired to be the movie Director. They also announced that the the majority of the expanded universe would be Un-canon to give more creative freedom for the new universe.

Due to fan backlash however, Fox decided to make certain video games and television shows canon. The Old Republic, The Force Unleashed, and The Clone Wars series were considered part of the Cinematic Universe as well.

Before it's release a trilogy was confirmed from the movie. They also agreed to limit the amount of CGI backgrounds, and work with more practical effects instead. John Williams was also re-hired to do the music numbers for the film. Star Wars: The Force Awakens was officially released on December 18th 2015.

STAR WARS

Episode IIV

The Force Awakens

''After many years of oppression at the hands of the Sith Lords. The Galactic Empire is finally defeated and democracy is spread across the Galaxy. Balance to the force is restored at long last.

Luke Skywalker re-created the Jedi Academy and trains thousands of individuals across the galaxy, including his own sister, Leia. The Order is no longer limited to the planet Coruscant, as Masters have began to train padawons across the galaxy to spread force awareness.

But after these years of peace and harmony, the darkness that once brought about the domination of the Sith may be re-surfacing...''

The camera than pans to the planet of Coruscant.

It shows the hallway of a re-built Jedi Academy where a hooded man is walking through. He makes it to a large door and takes off the hood, revealing himself to the the Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. He enters the room and sits down, closing his eyes as he begins to meditate. In meditation, Luke sees his own origin into the Force, the good, the bad, etc. He is happy to see the feelings of the now free galaxy. But when he continues to focus he begins to see the future. Destruction, oppression and worst of all an iconic Sith (Red) Lightsaber. He is startled and ends his meditation session.

Luke now Narrates, "There has been an awakening... Have you felt it? A feeling of emptiness? Of darkness? One that has not been in our hearts since the days of the Galactic Empire? I certainly have. I have felt, what I believe to be an awakening in the force."

Luke is then shown saying that "Narration" to the Jedi Council.

Snoke, a Selkath Jedi Master tells Luke that there has always been darkness in the Force. Even more so after the creation of the Empire. Leia (who is now a Jedi Master as well) agrees. Reminding him that some systems and citizens of the Republic do still support and yearn for the Empire.

Luke defends his position by stating he this truly felt different, as if in recent time a beast has awoken and is could be a threat to the peace the Jedi and the rebellion had fought so hard to take back. Jedi Master Maz Kanata states she agrees with master Luke. That the council would be wise to heed his predictions, as he was the one who single handedly defeated Darth Vader and Darth Sidious respectively, freeing the Galaxy many years ago.

Leia sides with Maz, stating it couldn't hurt to send some soldiers to investigate and stop any suspicious activity. Snoke and other members of the council still seem hesitant. Snoke reveals through dialogue that Leia is his master, and having great respect for her agreed to it anyway. Luke than tells them it's settled and he will contact Captain Han Solo to send ships to investigate.

It than shows inside a Rebel Base on Yavin IV where Han Solo (now a Captain in the Republic) is rounding up soldiers for an investigation mission. He runs into a pilot named Poe Dameron. Solo reads about him and sees he graduated at the top of his class. Poe acknowledges it and explains how excited he is to possibly be working with the legendary Han Solo, and even asked if he could fly the Millennium Falcon. Han brushes it off and tells Poe he can go on the mission, but that if he touches the Falcon, he would need to answer to Chewbacca, who's also there.

Poe, Han, Chewbacca and a few other Republic pilots get into their ships and take off into space. Han tells them that the Tattooine system since that is where Luke's vision said the "Force Awakened" (As Han called it). Later, it shows an altered version of an Imperial Star Destroyer (Much darker color now). On the ship in what appears to be a resting room of some type a man puts on a cape, belt and gloves (not revealing any of his flesh) from a first person perspective his gloved hands reach out a grab a helmet and secure it on, now showing Darth Kylo in third person. Kylo is walking down the hallway as Stormtroopers part from his path as he walks high, pure intimidation from him. He is monologuing how the Sith has been beaten down, humiliated and nearly wiped out by the arrogant Jedi, but that with him still preserving the traditions and goal of the Sith, the Jedi will fall again!

He finished walking, he is in the Command centre and is approached by General Hux (Domhnall Gleeson). He explains how their scanners have picked up
