Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)


Walt Disney
Directed by J.J. Abrams
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(theatrical showing)

A restless young girl on a desert planet is thrust into an intergalactic war when a defecting soldier crash lands near her home. Also joining them is an anthropomorphic robot who carries a map leading to the location of the mythical Luke Skywalker. First, they must stop the Nazi-inspired "First Order" from destroying planets with their new, larger Death Star. They get help from old friends Han Solo and Chewbacca. J.J. Abrams walks a fine line between nostalgia and a flat-out remake of the original Star Wars films. Genders are switched and family connections have changed, but we've seen all of this before.
