Another stab at the crawl, taking into consideration my 4/9/8 line numbering scheme and the recent feedback 😉 :

THE FORCE AWAKENS

The Empire has survived. Forged
by the Emperor’s first command,
his legions are secretly building a
fortress that devours entire stars.

Led by a ruthless warlord,
this zealous order and its
evil knights have caused the
last of the Jedi to disappear.
With the New Republic
fearing to declare open war,
one general leads a covert
Resistance to this deadly
threat.

Desperate for allies,
General Leia Organa
has sent her most daring
pilot on a mission to
find the long-lost Jedi,
her only hope in restoring
peace and justice to the
galaxy…

JEDIT: I’ve also gotten the capitalized names down from 7 in the original crawl to 5, which I think is the absolute minimum possible with this movie (I count Empire and Emperor as variations on 1). For comparison, ANH had 4 capitalized names.
