THE FORCE AWAKENS AND EXPOSES Journalist: Scorpinosis Nightfire To say that the new Star Wars Episode 7 has been a long time coming would a massive understatement. The original trilogy consisted of Episode 4: A New Hope, Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back and Episode 6: Return of The Jedi and covered 1977 to 1983. Why George Lucas started his space franchise with episode 4 was always odd to me till, as a fan, a dared to consider there would be more. However I had no idea how long I and the rest of the world would have to wait for those missing episodes of 1-3, the now infamous prequels. Fortunately, Star Wars enthusiasts get “The Force Awakens”, for CHRISTMAS – a decade after Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge Of The Sith (my personal fave of the prequels)!!!! Are fans excited, you bet your light sabers they are excited? From the moment news hit that there would finally be an episode 7 to give closure to the fates of the original cast, audiences worldwide were ecstatic. But as with anything as big as a Star Wars sequel there is some controversy. NU VIBEZ & ROLEPLAY GUIDE MAGAZINE 49
