Star Wars – The Force Awakens (12A)
George Lucas sold “Star Wars” to Disney in 2012 for $4.05 billion dollars, and “The Force Awakens” is the first of a new trilogy and new standalone films from the studio.
Abrams, who directed, wrote and co-produced the film, was talking on the red carpet and told fans it was an “incredible honour to be here with this remarkable reception”. I’ve been a fan since I was seven-years-old.
A second Star Wars-themed jet began service in November on ANA’s domestic routes, a Boeing 767 featuring both R2-D2 and BB-8, the droid introduced in the latest film.
AMC’s “Breaking Bad” spin-off “Better Call Saul”, Fox’s hip-hop family saga “Empire”, Netflix comedy “Master of None”, USA Network’s cyber hacker drama “Mr. Robot” and Lifetime’s “Unreal”, a fictional take on the behind-the-scenes antics of reality show “The Bachelor”, were the new shows making the list.
Backed up with the 18 ways The Force Awakens blew our expectations out of the water and also a few of the things we DIDN’T love about the movie.
Sadly (despite one really pivotal scene that will not be spoiled here) what The Force Awakens really lacks compared to even The Phantom Menace – which had the sensational stand-out Darth Maul lightsaber battle – is one truly iconic set-piece.
But this is the first time we’ve seen the cast of “The Force Awakens”, including Harrison Ford, collectively show off their singing talents. “Especially Rey”, referring to newcomer Daisy Ridley.
