Star Wars the Force Awakens Movie Review

The long awaited sequel to a great franchise. The build up for this movie was tremendous. Everyone, not just Star Wars fans, but everyone was talking about the new Star Wars mov The first trailer to the new movie came out October 19, 2015, a whole 3 months before the actual movie came out.  According to Wikipedia.org, “the hype really started after Disney bought the rights to Lucas Films in October 2012.” There was a lot of suspense and waiting for this movie, but was it built up so much that people were disappointed about the movie? George Lucas himself said this about the movie in an interview from slashfilm.com, “I think the fans are going to love it. It’s very much the kind of movie they’ve been looking for.”

The hype for Star Wars was not too much. This movie is not disappointing. The box office estimates the Star Wars: The Force Awakens made 2.1 billion dollars. The publicity for this movie was really good in Disney’s favor. People who weren’t fans of Star Wars went to see this movie. Star Wars the Force Awakens was a great choice for Disney, and sets them up to make even more money off of the next one.
