In the first scene of the story, Rey lived in desert alone. She seemed to be poor and lonely. Also, she wished to see her family again. One day, Finn (FN-2187) decided to escape from Jakku. He also saved Poe and they could escape once. After that, Finn met Rey with BB-8. BB-8 was a key robot because it had crucial map. Because of having BB-8, they had been attacked. So they fought a lot.
They met Han Solo and they built good relationships. On the other hand, Ren, who was a son of Han Solo and Princess Leia tried to attack them again. Though he seemed to go back to their parents once, he killed his father in the end. Finn and Rey fought with Ren and Finn was seriously hurt by Ren. However, Rey won finally. They went back to their colleagues. At the last scene, Rey went to the place and there was an old man.
It was first time for me to watch Star Wars. Honestly, the story was complicated, but it was fun anyway. I cannot figure out the meaning of last scene, so I'd like to watch another series when I have time!
teacher's note: I am surprised at how many of the students in the class have not seen any of the Star Wars Saga as it has been extremely popular for a long time, and this is Episode VII. if you are one of these people, the last scene may be confusing. The "old man" is Luke Skywalker. In Episode VII (this one) we are told that he is the last Jedi. The Jedi is an order of knights who fight with the light saber and have very strong mental powers. They use their power to defend the Republic, now called the Resistance as the New Order, led by Snoke (Andy Serkis), has risen from the old Empire. They are the bad guys.
There is a lot of back story, so it would help to watch the previous six episodes as you like. They are very entertaining, and many people (myself included) find them inspiring as well. Thanks to everyone for posting.
