Since Disney's acquisition of LucasFilm, the folks who took over the brainchild of the Star Wars saga finally revived the legendary franchise in new and exciting ways but nothing is more so than the long awaited installment of the cult classic franchise. Yes, The Force Awakens is the long-awaited installment that ushers in the new generation of Star Wars heroes and villains while retaining the classic taste that has been around since A New Hope.

Aside from legends returning in the film such as Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Carrie Fisher as Leia, and Harrison Ford as Han Solo, this film introduces new faces that will surely become a favorite among Jedis and Padawans alike. This film introduces two new protagonists such as a young woman named Rey, played by Daisy Ridley, and a former Stormtrooper named Finn, played by John Boyega, as they set off on a war between the First Order and the Resistance.

In terms of storytelling, well since this is now under Disney's terms following their takeover of LucasFilm, the magic is well suitable enough to bring any moviegoers at any age various emotions. A hint of joy, sadness, fear, anger, and disgust, the perfect recipes that most Disney films used, especially on Marvel films, really poured in to bring the latest Star Wars films more livelier than the other films were.
