There has been
30 years since the defeat of Darth Vader and the Empire. Poe Dameron is a pilot and he’s in
possession of a BB-8 droid containing a map showing the location of Luke
Skywalker. The First Order takes
Poe prisoner, the BB-8 is missing and all the people in this village are killed. Rey is a scavenger from the planet Jakku,
she sells scrap that she takes from crashed ships. This is how she is able to buy food for herself. She finds the BB-8 and she could sell it
for much more than she usually receives for her finds. She decides to keep the BB-8 and she
teams with a rogue stormtrooper, FN-287 renamed Finn. He landed on Jakku with Poe but Poe may have died after they crashed.
The First Order attacks them but they manage to escape by stealing the
former ship of Han Solo. Finn is surprised that Rey is able to fly the Millennium
Falcon.
I liked that the past
of the three original Star Wars films is connected to the present and the old
team is back. Ford, Chewbacca,
R2-D2, C-3PO, Hamill and Fisher plus the Falcon. I was surprised about the actor playing the new lord of the
dark side, Kylo Ren. The foe this time is
the First Order instead of the Empire and the Death Star. 4* (I really liked this movie)
