"Great Follow-up To The Original Star Wars Trilogy!"

Rating: 8/10 (4 January 2016)

Harrison Ford, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac and Carrie Fisher star in J.J. Abrams' 2015 sci-fi sequel. This installment takes place 30 years after the events of "Return of the Jedi" where an evil organization called, "The New Order" attempts to take over the galaxy following in the Galactic Empire's footsteps. Soon, we meet rogue stormtrooper, Finn (Boyega) who wants to stop them and he finds help when uniting with scavenger, Rey (Ridley) on planet, Jakku. They try to get a map delivered by droid, BB-8 pinpointing the whereabouts of missing Jedi, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) to the Resistance formerly known as the Rebellion with help from pilot/smuggler, Han Solo (Ford). Fisher also returns as Leia Organa who is now general of the Resistance, Isaac plays Poe, BB-8's master and Driver plays Kylo Ren, the leader of The New Order. Peter Mayhew also returns as Han's hairy sidekick, Chewbacca along with Anthony Daniels as droid, C-3PO. This is a great follow-up to the original trilogy with a good cast, neat effects and excellent score by John Williams as usual. I also like the certain aspects that the film has from those films and it's nice to see Ford & Fisher reprise their roles. I won't say if Hamill reprises his role or not, but recommend the film anyway.
