There has been an awakening. Have you felt it? That's the reins being loosened on the ultra top-secret Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as the movie finally screened before audiences prior to its release on December 18th.
After years of anticipation, The Force Awakens does bring balance to the Star Wars franchise; with the largely ill-received prequels still leaving a bitter blotch on some fans' memories, this is a movie meant to recapture the magic of what made George Lucas's original trilogy so special. Much of the film echoes Star Wars adventures of the past, most notably A New Hope, but it's the new elements of The Force Awakens that are its strength.
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy took the stage before the Force Awakens world premiere in Los Angeles on December 14th, and told three theaters' worth of audience members that Star Wars has always been about chance encounters. She used it to describe the chance encounters that brought her, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and J.J. Abrams together over the years, but that also is an excellent summary of the way the characters collide in The Force Awakens.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the movie it was promised to be, with great new characters, a respect for the original trilogy and a strong understanding of what makes this franchise click with fans. The new additions to the Star Wars universe work best, though there is some over-reliance on tying things to and making nods to the classic Star Wars ...
I know biased fanboys of the painfully average, outdated original trilogy will cluelessly cry about this, but yes, The Force Awakens is the most well made film of the Star Wars saga. This film has all the goodness of the original movies, characters who are easily likable, incredible effects, John Williams' rousing musical score and a great time ...
