A much anticipated movie, rekindling the Star Wars saga. This 7th episode is in traditional Star Wars fashion and takes you to a galaxy you are familiar with. We see some of our old friends and lose one in particular. Three decades after the defeat of the Galactic Empire, a new threat arises. The First Order attempts to rule the galaxy and only a ragtag group of heroes can stop them, along with the help of the Resistance. I won’t put any spoilers in here because if you are a Star Wars fan, you want to see it large on the big screen, preferably 3D Imax. Although, I do think it would be just a good in 2D. If you are not a Star Wars/Science Fiction fan, you might not like it; if you are, then this erases that long period of time between episode 6 and this one. Nostalgic yet contemporary. The special effects are not over done, so that makes it better, to me, than some of the previous episodes. My only wish is that we see a reprise of Yoda in episode 8. I missed him here.
