Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

  Star Wars is a force to be reckoned with. Approximately thirty years after the "Return of the Jedi" Episode VI, and the defeat of the "Galactic Empire", comes a new threat of evil the "First Order". Also in addition to the new film, there are new characters. Lead by newcomers Daisy Ridley and John Boyega. There sense of an on-screen connection between them and it  is sensational. They give lots of emotion to their roles as Finn and Rey. 

Also, returning to the franchise are Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamil, and Harrison Ford, Respectively as roles: Princess Leia, now General of the Resistance, Luke Skywalker, and Han Solo. And also returning to the film are CP-3O, R2-D2, and Chewbacca.

What makes the film exciting is that it's got lots of action, fun, excitement, and occasional humor. Directed and Written by JJ Abrams, he does a fantastic job at his take on the visual effects, cinematography, sets.

Renowned and Award-Winning Composer John Williams scored the film. He has scored all movies in the franchise. Some of his original work is in the film. He is in my opinion, the number one thing that makes these types of movies special. He has created a theme that everyone knows and loves. And will continue to enjoy his Star Wars scores as the Star Wars legacy lives on. He made for this film an original piece of work that fits perfectly for the movie. Sets the tone for it. 

The costumes and special effects are awesome. Original Stormtrooper outfits are in this new film. And many new costumes in the film as well, to understand the personalities of each character. The special effects are beautifully defined and very colorful. 

Star Wars is a force to be reckoned with. The global phenomenon for over 30 years continues to shatter the globe. It's influential on millions. From toys, apparel and pre-sale records, Star Wars will live on in history.
