"I used to wonder
about that myself. Thought it was a bunch of mumbo jumbo. A
magical power
holding together good and evil, the dark side and
the light. Crazy thing is... it's true.
The Force, the Jedi. All
of it. It's all true." -
Han Solo
Why watch this? The
big moment, by a mile, was the return of Han and Chewy. So...
Damn... Awesome!
Plot Summary:
Three decades after the Galactic Empire's collapse, a new
tyrannical force known as the First Order seeks to dominate the
galaxy and eliminate the last remaining Jedi Master, Luke
Skywalker. A young scavenger named Rey, a rogue stormtrooper
named Finn, and a Resistance pilot named Poe Dameron find
themselves drawn into the conflict when they encounter a droid
carrying a vital piece of a map to Skywalker's whereabouts.
Dad's Preview:
Episode VII succeeds in setting up a new trilogy. We all knew at
the time that most of the original cast members were still alive
and kicking, and we're like "C'mon folks, let's do this!" Here we see all three. Luke, Han and Leia, together
again. Well, that is not quite what happened, but it was teased that it was
GOING to happen. The new kids (Rey, Finn, Poe) are compelling
enough. The rest of the trilogy was a disappointment, but this
effort gave
us a little new hope.
