I decided to do my own take on Hal’s crawl:

Luke Skywalker has ignited a resurgence of hope across the
galaxy. To slow the flames of rebellion, the First Order has
scattered and isolated the brave.

As REY, sole heir to the Jedi, continues her training under
the ailing General Leia Organa, their fledgling Resistance
prepares for an inevitable uprising.

Meanwhile, Supreme Leader KYLO REN is haunted by the whispers
of a dark presence promising him enough power to crush his
opposition once and for all. . . .
