It awakens in Rey, one of the main protagonists of the film. Luke's last attempt to restore the Jedi Order kinda got hit with a strong case of death. By this point, the power of the Force is rapidly becoming more mythical to the common galactic citizen (where it was already pretty "out there" during the era of the Clone Wars).
