Feeling the Force like never before
23 December 2015
The Star Wars franchise returns, with the beginning of an all-new trilogy. I have to admit, after the lukewarm reception the prequel trilogy got, I was worried that this movie wouldn't be up to snuff. But boy, was I wrong.

"The Force Awakens" hit all the right buttons. It really lived up to the original series, with action, suspense, drama, and emotion. The new generation of heroes were all so dynamic and relatable; Finn, the stormtrooper with a heart, Poe Dameron, the daring pilot, BB-8, the new droid on the block, and Rey, the gutsy scavenger. But our new villains had a draw to them too, like the wicked Kylo Ren, and the enigmatic Supreme Leader Snoke.

Of course, the old guard's still got it; Han and Chewy are as awesome as they were in the old days.

The climactic final battles were as epic as anything the previous trilogies had, and the next episode promises to be even better.

To put it simply, Star Wars is back on top where it belongs. May the Force always be with them...
