My take with some more specificity in a few places and less in some:

It is a time of despair.
Luke Skywalker, striving
to restore the legendary
Jedi Order, has vanished.

In his absence, the
evil FIRST ORDER has
risen from a hidden
base of the fallen
Empire to declare that
anyone seeking the
Jedi’s return shall
face obliteration.

Appalled by this decree,
the New Republic Senate
has secretly lent its
support to the mission
of a brave RESISTANCE
to find the last Jedi and
restore peace and justice
to the darkening stars…
