A game changer for the series....

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2016)

When star wars first came out in 1977, no one knew it would become the cash cow it would become today, with billions spent on tickets and merchandise. Flash forward 38 years later, and with Disney now controlling George Lucas' empire, Star Wars is once again a big thing. Thanks in part to the success of the force awakens, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief as this movie is the best of the star wars sequels. Lots of great effects, drama, and stirring music and surround sound make this a must see. The passing of Han Solo at the hands of Kylo Ren, his son, was the biggest reveal since Darth Vader was Luke's father. Add to that a cliffhanger ending featuring an old Luke Skywalker showing Rey the ways of the force, and the anticipation for Episode VIII is coming. Thankfully I saw in in 2D since 3D was converted although i missed seeing it in IMAX (the home media release doesn't have the intro in imax; hopefully the bluray 3d release will have it).
