Cards & Book Reveal the Entire Plot: Star Wars The Last Jedi

Star Wars secrecy is legendary, and director Rian Johnson has assured us that there won't be any spoilers for The Last Jedi among the toys released.

Rian Johnson posted "Nah, unless seeing what characters & ships look like count, we were careful to make sure the toys & toy marketing don't spoil anything."

Topps has released a checklist that basically serves as a summary of the film's entire plot.
Also a "Look & Find" Star Wars book published by Disney debuted, which provided some information on how the film will open.

(Warning: spoilers for Star Wars: The Last Jedi to follow)  

Here's the quote from the book...cue the opening music...




EPISODE VIII
  
THE LAST JEDI 

"Starkiller Base is vanquished, but Kylo Ren has escaped.
Thanks to Rey and her friends, BB-8 brought Luke Skywalker’s
coordinates back to the Resistance. 
On their behalf, Rey travels to the planet Ahch-To, 
hoping to enlist Luke’s help.  
While Rey persuades the last Jedi to join the Resistance...
Poe and BB-8 are taking part in a space battle over D'Qar"

Luke Is The Last Jedi
The last Jedi is Master Luke Skywalker himself, as has been long-speculated by many.

We've heard many times that The Last Jedi will pick up right where The Force Awakens Left off, showing us Rey's very first conversation with Luke Skywalker.
And now, we may know what this scene will cut to.

The Last Jedi cards reads as follows:

 
X-Wing fighter under-sea wreckage on Ahch-to.



    91 'Rey's Solitude'


    92 'General Leia Organa'


    93 'Rey and her Lightsaber'


    94 'On Crait'


    95 'Rushing to Attack'



    96 'Finn's Recovery'


    97 'Poe Responds'
What Poe Is Up To As The Movie Starts
Poe and BB-8 are taking part in a space battle over D'Qar, the location of the Resistance base.

Here's a quote taken directly from the book...

Meanwhile, Poe is busy doing some persuading of his own.
He and BB-8 are making runs through the First Order’s latest assault fleet to clear the way for the Resistance bomber squadron, headed by ace pilot Paige.

"BB-8 will keep the coordinates straight.
You look out for these First Order ships…"


Since the book only covers information from The Last Jedi's early scenes, we now know that this battle will occur very early on - possibly inside the first ten minutes.


    98 'The Fury of Kylo Ren'


    99 'Shards of the Past'
Kylo reflects on what he's done.


    100 'Luke's Grim Perspective'
    101 'Ski Speeder Assault'


    102 'Walkers Incoming'


    103 'The Resistance'



    104 'The Resistance X-wing'
    105 'The Resistance A-wing'


    106 'The Battle Commences'
    107 'Frigates Under Fire'




    108 'The Resistance Vs The First Order'


    109 'The Millennium Falcon Flees'


    110 'Heroes United'

It looks like the film will focus around two major battles.
One presumably ends in the First Order's defeat, hence 'The Fury of Kylo Ren' – perhaps this is the rumoured battle between Rey/Luke and Kylo/The Knights of Ren.

Things might not turn out so well for the Resistance,
though, based on a card titled 'The Millennium Falcon Flees'...
