Director : JJ Abrams
Running Time : 139 mins
When a storm trooper (Boyega) decides that killing people isn’t the life for him, he finds himself teamed up with a scavenger named Rey (Ridley) and her recently adopted robot BB-8. Together they steal a spaceship – the Millennium Falcon – only to meet up with the famed original owner, Han Solo (Ford) and find themselves caught up in a mission with the resistance to destroy the newly built Starkiller Base, created by the newly formed First Order.
After hearing the rumours, I sat down to watch this and could definitely see why some people thought this was just a retelling of A New Hope. However, there is a lot more to the story than just being a rehash, and by having events repeat themselves throughout the movies we soon learn that, as with most things, people never learn from their past mistakes. On top of all the repetition we also have some new aspects to take in, such as the re-emergence of the force and the search for Luke Skywalker, and hopefully things will pickup plot wise in the next two movies which hopefully won’t just be unending spectacle.
