Wow! Just wow! I was so excited to see "Star Wars" reprised on the big screen again and to see how the always awesome J.J. Abrams was going to pull this off. I am such a huge fan of George Lucas and the "Star Wars" phenomenon that I just wasn't sure if it would really have that "Star Wars" feel. As you all know, our entire society has been raised on "Star Wars" with the original being released in 1977, that is 38 years of "Star Wars" impacting society! This is the seventh episode in the franchise.
I really loved the fact that they brought back Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) in their original roles. It was so fun to see them back, even if it was for just a short time. They were all in perfect form!
I don't want to divulge the storyline here, this is definitely one that everybody just needs to see for themselves!
I will say that I really enjoyed the new characters that they introduced, the young Finn (John Boyega) and Rey (Daisy Ridley) were perfectly cast in their roles. The new cute little robot BB-8 was a heart stealer!! You couldn't help but fall in love with him. I really enjoyed this movie. I was broken-hearted in one scene and I certainly was not anticipating the outcome of it! I genuinely feel that J.J. Abrams has done himself proud in this episode!
For all of you who are already suffering and needing another "Star Wars" fix... hang in there,
"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" will be released on December 16th of this year.
Parents be advised: This movie is rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence. As all the other "Star Wars" movies before it, there is a lot of fighting and light saber violence. There are battle scenes between X-Wings and TIE Fighters that end up looking like fireworks. Also there are some new alien beasts which slither around and are very hungry. I think children ages 10 and older will be fine with this movie.
I am giving "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" four bags of popcorn.
