Rey and Kylo Ben

The spaceless interactions with Ben through the Force makes Rey believe that Ben still have some humanity qualities hidden inside. Ben even finds satisfactory reasons to explain for the act of killing his father Han Solo as well as his betraying Master Luke and devastating the Jedi Academy, thereby gaining her sympathy.

Despite Luke's warnings and discouragement, Rey tries to meet Ben only to realize that Ben's ambition and dark intentions cannot be touched and changed: Ben kills Snoke to take the position as the First Order's Supreme Leader and determines to completely terminate the Resistance force.

Luke Skywalker and Kylo Ben

Luke is both Ben's teacher and uncle (Luke is the brother of Leia who is Ben's brother - Ben's mother), he is also a close friend of Han Solo - Ben's father. Luke dedicated himself into training Ben but he was too slow to realize that the dark side of the Force is gradually taking over Ben.

Luke used to use the Force and felt that Ben would become a disaster of the galaxy. It was his hesitation in killing Ben that led to the collapse of the Jedi Academy and the slaughters of his disciples. Since then, he no longer cared about life, lived in seclusion and wanted to see himself as the last Jedi.

It was Han Solo's death and the request of his sister Leia that made him return for the last time to confront Ben, giving the few survivors of the Resistance a chance to escape.

As he prepares to fight Ben, Luke says that he is not the last Jedi, maybe he is in  reference to Rey, or maybe there are some other Jedis that have not yet been introduced in the Star Wars world. If linking to "The Mandalorian", is it possible that Baby Yoda Grogu is among the last Jedies besides Rey?

The hard journey to find Luke Skywalker

More than 30 years after the destruction of the Second Death Star, Luke Skywalker, the supposedly last surviving Jedi knight, went missing. The First Order has emerged from the ashes of the Galactic Empire, and is looking to destroy the New Republic. The Resistance, a Republic-backed fighting force, under the leadership of General Leia Organa, tries to search every corner of the galaxy for Luke - who is beleived to cast the twist to battle between the two sides.

In a village on the planet Jakku, a Resistance pilot named Poe Dameron meets an old man to get a map showing Luke's location. The stormtroopers under the command of Kylo Ren land soonly and destroys the village before capturing Poe alive. His droid, BB-8, escapes with the map hidden in its memory cabinet.

The main storyline of "The Force Awakens" is a race between the First Order and the Resistance to obtain the piece of the map (actually a USB containing data) about Luke's position in the galaxy.

Rey

Being a girl picking up scrap to earn a living, Rey stumbles upon droid BB-8 and then Finn (known as the betrayal stormtrooper FN-2187) and is dragged into the current war scene. They rob a ship parked nearby to flee the planet when the Stormtroopers hunt them down, without knowing that ship is the legendary Millennium Falcon, and thus later meet Han Solo and Chewbacca.

On the planet Takodana, Rey finds a cellar and comes across the lightsaber of Anakin Skywalker. She quickly senses mysterious hallucinations, but refuses to accept it at Maz's suggestion.

In the ensuing developments, Kylo Ren's continuous chasing of Rey forces her to use the the saber and unleash the gifted power, actually the Force, hidden within her.

Han Solo and his son Kylo Ren

Ren is the son of Han Solo and Leia, originally named Ben Solo, and was once one of Luke's Jedi disciples. He is succumbed to the dark side of the Force, initiated by the First Order supreme leader, Snoke, and helps the villian destroy Luke's Jedi Academy. This is the reason why Luke decided to go into seclusion.

In the movie, Han tries to advise Ren to return to the light side but is killed by Ren on Snoke's command.

The Millennium Falcon spaceship

After Han Solo's death, Rey seems to become the new owner of this spaceship. At the end of  "The Force Awakens", she and Chewbacca fly the spaceship to the planet where Luke is reclining, following the instructions of the completed map.
