WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
After years of exile, Luke Skywalker (Hamill) has been found by young Force user Rey (Ridley), who seeks his help to harness her powers to fight the First Order, which continues to spread chaos throughout the galaxy thanks to Kylo Ren (Driver) and his fearsome tactics. Meanwhile, General Leia Organa (Fisher) leads the Resistance, which includes defected Stormtrooper Finn (Boyega) and ace pilot Poe Dameron (Isaac), in the continued battle for control over the galaxy…
IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
The revitalised Star Wars series continues right where The Force Awakens left off, and we’re in for a hell of a lot more galactic awesomeness, but also something rather bittersweet given that this is the final film to star series legend Carrie Fisher in her iconic role as Leia.
