REVIEW FORCE AWAKENS MOVIE

Of the returning characters, the most we spend time with is Han Solo and Chewbacca. This character is everything George Lucas had to have been hoping Anakin would have been in the prequels, but JJ Abrams actually executes it. Kylo Ren brings about one of the most unique characters and a great performance from Adam Driver. Oscar Isaac is a cinematic treasure and enrichens every bit of the screentime he has and hopefully he gets more in the next film. His path is one of a defector from The First Order, something of the likes we’ve never seen in a Star Wars film either goody guy or bad guy (Aside from the obvious Anakin Skywalker).

Joining her on the journey is Jon Boyega who gets to shine in a big movie as the comedic Finn. Every time I see it I get a butterflies in my stomach.

Watching her journey in this film is incredibly gripping and what a big moment when she summons and grabs the lightsaber. She’s a badass in every sense of the word. Daisy Ridley as Rey is a star making breakout performance. Leading us into the next generation is a rich lot of characters that have surprised the folks at Lucasfilm and become insanely popular. In the end, when it came to bringing out Star Wars again to a whole new generation and one that maybe had been adrift for many long years, it appears to be the right move. In a way, its how Star Wars always has been and probably will be.

Some of the harsher critics of The Force Awakens have had a hard time seeing past the similarities between the original trilogies “greatest hits” that are traveled through here, but even The Phantom Menace followed those footsteps. One of the most fascinating reads as a Star Wars fan is the Ring Theory, which unlike fan theories is one based on actual intentions of the filmmaker/creator and is fully researched without skewing evidence and admitting at times where things may be a stretch. Staying true to George Lucas’ thematic “song and rhyme” approach to the Star Wars saga, JJ Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan’s script takes us through what feels like familiar territory and plot beats but both fulfilling preconceived notions and changing them up some. We all dreamed of that kind of successful launch, but to see it happen firsthand was a lot of fun. For all intents and purposes, the film lived up to expectations, pleasing most critics and audiences while dominating the domestic and global box office, becoming the #1 film all time in the United States.

Together, the young duo joins forces with Han Solo to make sure the Resistance receives the intelligence concerning the whereabouts of Luke Skywalker, the last of the Jedi Knights.Ī short time ago, in a movie theater in our respective home towns we all gathered for one of the most exciting events in cinematic history the Star Wars sequel to 1983’s Return of the Jedi that brought back the trinity of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and Han Solo (Harrison Ford). When a defector named Finn crash-lands on a desert planet, he meets Rey, a tough scavenger whose droid contains a top-secret map. Thirty years after the defeat of the Galactic Empire, the galaxy faces a new threat from the evil Kylo Ren and the First Order. Secrets will be revealed through extensive footage, never-before-seen deleted scenes, and exclusive interviews with the actors and filmmakers.
