The Rise of the First Order Era of Star Wars Explained in Under a Minute | Star Wars Explained

Report from the Holocron of Xela. Description: The Rise of the First Order era begins twenty eight years after the Battle of Yavin, and takes us through to the Battle of Exegol seven years later. Although the New Republic survives the Imperial Remnant, they still struggle to remain united and free of corruption. The spirit of Emperor Palpatine lives on in a clone body. From a hidden Sith world in the Unknown Regions he orchestrates the rise of the First Order from the ashes of his Empire. Leia learns of the danger and creates a resistance prepared to fight while the New Republic turns a blind eye. But her son, Ben Solo, falls to the dark side after a huge misunderstanding with Luke Skywalker. He takes up the name Kylo Ren and joins the First Order. With a new superweapon they destroy the New Republic senate and take control of the galaxy for one year. Leia’s Resistance fights back with the help of Palpatine’s granddaughter, Rey, who learns to become a Jedi under both Luke and Leia. She and the Resistance help inspire the rest of the galaxy to stand against oppression and the dark side, defeating Darth Sidious, his forces, and the Sith Order once and for all. This part of the timeline is, of course, mostly made up of the sequel trilogy films and the animated series Star Wars Resistance. #starwars
