The other big victor from ‘Star Wars’? Harrison Ford

Fellow legacy actors Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher earned figures in the low seven-figure range, while padawans Ridley and Boyega earned between $100,000 and $300,000, according to the report. What makes them heroes?

Like Ken Burns’s “The Civil War”, “Star Wars” depicts an epic conflict. While it doesn’t reach the height of the originals, almost every aspect of this film is great from start to finish. Any new additions are few and far between, making the experience feel overly familiar. John Boyega is Finn, who brings humanity to his scenes, despite his character’s inhumane upbringing. After the biggest-ever Friday. Not only is Rey relatable, but she’s a well written and individualized character, able to stand apart from other characters. Ridley is fantastic as Rey, who is clearly the character the new trilogy is hitching its horses to.

They even used events like Comic-Con and Star Wars Celebration to further feed the frenzy.

How much does it cost to get Harrison Ford to slip back into those snug smuggler trousers to play Han Solo? The film is now playing in theaters.

Ford is easily the biggest name among the cast, and spent considerably more time on screen than Fisher and Hamill. Adam Driver gives an intimidating performance as the series’ new villain Kylo Ren, but he’s rather underdeveloped. Disney remained true to the brand through all of this, threading storylines that built upon each other and easily created even more content. But what’s most interesting here is that it seems that Disney subscribed to the “two-speed marketing” theory. While he has a foreboding presence in the first half of the film, that is somewhat lessened in the latter half. If Spider-Man 2 held onto that record for 11 years, think of how long it’s gonna take another film to surpass this total. The Force Awakens is a great film, and a brilliant Star Wars film, well worth watching. There is a lot to enjoy here whether it be the engaging fights or character interactions.

As heartbreaking as that moment was, it’s hard to find fault with Abrams’ justification here!

“A New Hope” may have echoes of past works, but “Galactic Civil War” has the actual work, rejiggered in a way that would instantly be familiar to anyone who has seen either (or both) of the original works. Numerous call backs are not subtle and can be somewhat distracting. There were only two, and while I know Star Wars is not built around these (and definitely shouldn’t become reliant on them) it would’ve been nice to see more battles, or for the final fight to have been longer/more choreographed. It’s not enough to derail one’s enjoyment of the film, but will certainly be a distraction for the hardcore fans. They break the line between new and old, and both add humour to the film, while being excellent actors as well. “Star Wars” had to settle for six competitive awards as well as a special one for sound editing.
