Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2015)

In a galaxy far, far away, Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and crew are back to defend the universe from a new threat known as the First Order. Directed by action-adventure maestro J.J. Abrams, the fast-paced seventh installment of the "Star Wars" series takes place 30 years after the Empire's defeat in "Return of the Jedi." Fresh-faced newcomers include scavenger Rey (Daisy Ridley), stormtrooper Finn (John Boyega) and a lovable new robo-kid on the block, BB-8. To the audience's delight, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher reprise their roles as Luke and Leia Skywalker. This latest chapter of the intergalactic space-age saga has already broken box office records.
