Not only does 'The Force Awakens' live up to expectations, it surpasses them – giving fans what is clearly the best 'Star Wars' movie since 1980's 'The Empire Strikes Back'. Well, I've said it before and I'll say it again: J.J. There was going to be a tangible feel to the new Star Wars film. This wouldn't be a movie that just had actors standing in front of a lot of green screens (although, again, such use is not totally absent here). made it known that not only would most of the actors from the original trilogy be returning to the roles that made them famous, but he also planned to return to the look of those original films as well: using CGI when he needed to (and rest assured, there's still plenty in 'The Force Awakens'), but also using as many practical effects as he could.
Those sighs turned to gasps of joy when J.J. Abrams would be helming the newest Star Wars movie. Most of us breathed a big sigh of relief when Lucasfilm's new president, Kathleen Kennedy, announced director J.J. What would Lucasfilm's newest owners do to the beloved franchise? Would they restore it to the glory days of the 70s and 80s, or would the new movies be more like the three prequels – films that have managed to alienate fans over the years, in large part due to their over-reliance on digital effects, their questionable storylines ("the taxation of trade routes" – how exciting!), and their borderline acting. When George Lucas sold Lucasfilm to Disney back in 2012, there was a shout of both amazement and worry when the Mouse House announced they would be making a whole new batch of 'Star Wars' movies, starting with this one – Chapter VII in the series. So much of this could have gone horribly wrong.
