Okay I took another stab at it with the 4-9-8 max of 27 characters:

EPISODE VII
THE FORCE AWAKENS

The galaxy is in crisis.
Luke Skywalker, striving
to restore the legendary
Jedi Order, has vanished.

Imperial agents of the evil
FIRST ORDER, emboldened by
Luke’s absence, have risen
from a hidden sinister base
to proclaim that anyone who
seeks the Jedi’s return
shall be destroyed. The
frail New Republic, urging
peace, has failed to act.

Fearing war, members of the
New Republic Senate have
secretly organized a covert
RESISTANCE, and have sent
their most daring pilot to
Jakku, to find any clue of
Luke’s whereabouts amongst
the darkening stars…

EDIT: Must have been looking for too long cause the last two lines were messed up, now we are all good 😃
