Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2015)

The prequel sucked! Then Disney bought the rights from George Lucas for $4 billion. The third trilogy involves the original actors and is a sequel to the 1977-83 stories. Of course, it is more than 30 years later, and everybody is old. The Force Awakens is close to the 1977 film. Harrison Ford returning gave it credibility. The audience applauded. The interracial thing between Rey and Finn would not have cut it in 1977. Modern audiences seem to desire that kind of thing. Han Solo will not be back, and neither will Finn unless he is somehow magically restored. I thought the film had good energy and lots of humor. I am glad I saw it.
