In Episode VII, following the rebels’ victory against the Empire, the dark force has regained strength. The shady Kylo Ren emulates the infamous Darth Vader and terrorizes the galaxy with Snoke, the leader of the First Order. As general of the New Republic, Leia Organa tasks pilot Poe with finding her missing brother, Luke Skywalker. But Kylo Ren and Snoke are also behind him. The only hope for the New Republic lies in scrap collector Rey, renegade stormtrooper Finn, warhorse Han Solo and Chewbacca, who join the adventurous search for the missing Jedi Knight.
Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill starred in The Force Awakens. Director JJ Abrams implemented the film without the participation of “Star Wars” inventor George Lucas and was largely based on the plot of the first part from 1977. The success proved him right: “The Force Awakens” cracked the crack earlier than any other film One billion dollar mark at the box office. To date, the strip is the third most successful in film history.
