With the goal of the First Order being extremists trying to prevent the Jedi Order’s return, having the New Republic appear competent, and explaining that the Resistance is secret but somewhat supported, AND that the New Republic is using the Resistance to secretly fight their war without approval of the Senate… here’s the best I can think of:

THE FORCE AWAKENS

Luke Skywalker has vanished.
Emboldened by his absence,
the sinister FIRST ORDER,
an extremist remnant of the
fallen Empire, has proclaimed

restore the ancient ways of
the Jedi shall be destroyed.

Leaders of the NEW REPUBLIC,
striving to maintain the fragile
peace throughout the galaxy, have

with organizing a covert RESISTANCE
to combat this emerging threat.

Leia has sent her most
daring pilots across the galaxy,
vowing to find the last Jedi and
preserve peace and justice
amongst the darkening stars…
