The Force Awakens is the best Star Wars movie since Return of the Jedi. It is the first movie in the franchise since Lucasfilms was bought by Disney. George Lucas had nothing to do with it which probably why it is so good. If you are wondering why, you must not have watch the prequel trilogy.
The film takes place about 30 years after the second Death Star was destroyed and the Emperor was defeated. The republic is being rebuilt, but there is a new group that wants the new republic to fail. Two unlikely Heroes are forced into events that will shape the future of a galaxy far far away.
The movie has a lot of similarities to the original Star Wars but it also has a bunch of new stuff. People are upset about the similarities but I don’t think it’s a big deal because it feels like a Star Wars movie much more then the last trilogy.
The whole movie is awesome. The new characters are great. The ones we love are great. The bad guy isn’t a cookie cutter bad guy and had lots of room to grow. The story is great. I didn’t want to leave the theater, I wanted to watch it again. And I want to know more! The sequel comes out in two years… I hope they are quick years.
