Star Wars VII
The Force Awakens
Review By Rebekah Bobb
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, was released in December of 2015, 10 years after the release of The Revenge of the Sith. It takes place 30 years after the Return of the Jedi. It follows the story of Rey, a scavenger on Jakku who bumps into BB8 (a droid) and Finn who end up going on an epic adventure.
Ever since Disney bought Star Wars from Lucus Films, many wondered what Disney would do with this franchise. From the first shot of the film you can tell it embodies what Star Wars is all about. The quality in which this fim was made shows that there was thought into what story they wanted to tell.
There is a great balance between introducing the new characters and reintroducing the original cast from the first triology.
Throughout the entirity of this film it keeps you on your toes and guessing what happens next. There are some great classic moments in this movie and controversy that will not be mentioned in this review to keep it spoiler free :)
I highly reccommend seeing The Force Awakens and watching all of the behind the scenes featurettes to see everything that went into the creation of this movie. It sets up many questions that will hopefully be answered in the next two films of this trilogy!
