Your idea was certainly interesting. I had something kind of different in mind though.
It's a few years before The Force Awakens. The New Republic still isn't taking the First Order threat super seriously save for those who went off to form the resistance. The First Order discovers Earth, a primitive world inhabited by what seems to be an extremely warlike race of humans after reconnaissance discovers multiple armed conflicts raging across the world. The First Order decides it wants Earth humans for its army and decides to subjugate the world. Earth's humans are too divided to put up effective planetwide resistance, although the First Order still faces stiff resistance individually from NATO, Russia and China. Russia even manages to shoot down a First Order Star Destroyer through the use of nuclear weapons. But in the end, the First Order subjugates Earth and starts conscripting Earth humans into the Stormtrooper corps, and discovering force-sensitive Earth humans who are taken to be trained by Kylo Ren. First Order propaganda tries to paint them as benevolent rulers who stabilized Earth, brought superior technology, and are here to protect against non-human aliens, but most humans on Earth don't totally buy into this.
There's two ways I could see this going: following a group of Stormtroopers recruited from Earth or the Earth force-sensitives who were taken to be trained by Kylo Ren. Alternatively, it could follow a resistance movement against the First Order on Earth.
