The First Order is a fictional military movement and rump state[1] in the Star Wars franchise, introduced in the 2015 film The Force Awakens. It is formed following the fall of the Galactic Empire after the events of Return of the Jedi (1983). Secretly guided by the resurrected Emperor Palpatine, the First Order aims to destroy the New Republic and rule the galaxy as an autocratic military dictatorship.[3][4] Under the leadership of Supreme Leader Snoke and Kylo Ren, it is the main antagonistic faction of the sequel trilogy and is fought by the Resistance. Aside from the films, the First Order appears in various related Star Wars media.
