Star Wars IX: Fleet of the Free?

With the Resistance annihilated I wonder how JJ can continue the story? It wouldn’t be Star Wars if the movie didn’t have to result in a final space battle.

But with the resistance out of the picture, who will fight the First Order?

The main theme of this movie could be that the remaining rebels are visiting different planets to assemble a last emergency fleet composed of “national” ships: Chewbacca could go to Kashyyyk to convince his people to go to arms. If they didn’t join now, they would be taken down one by one later. One rebel team could go back to Jabba’s palace on Tattoine or even to Nal Hutta to convince Rotta, son of Jabba, to bring in all of the other Hutts and their ships. One could go to Dac/Mon Calamari, maybe more Bothans feel the need to die and so on…

Some teams succeed and they assemble one last fleet of resistance: The remaining hope for freedom in the galaxy. Meanwhile Rey reads the old Jedi scrolls to prepare for her final confrontation with the new emperor…
