About the film

Every generation has its own story

What it’s about

Three decades after the Galactic Empire's defeat, a successor called the First Order seeks control. Its Supreme Leader Snoke and his enforcer Kylo Ren lead this effort. A young woman named Rey and a former stormtrooper, Finn, cross paths with Han Solo, Chewbacca, and General Leia, heroes of the earlier war. Together they must confront the First Order, but it becomes clear that only a Jedi can stop Snoke and Kylo Ren.

What hooks you

J.J. Abrams directs a cast that includes Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher, reprising their iconic roles alongside newcomers Daisy Ridley and John Boyega. The film continues the beloved space opera saga with its signature blend of adventure and fantasy.

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who enjoy grand space adventures with a classic battle between good and evil, and for those who like stories where a new generation must rise to meet a familiar threat.

Trivia

All facts 10
  1. George Lucas said that the merger of Lucasfilm and Disney was a necessary measure in order to "hand Star Wars over to a new generation of filmmakers."
  2. Although this film was not announced (nor was the sale of Lucasfilm to Disney) until November 2012, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher stated that they had discussed their involvement in the seventh episode and subsequent Star Wars films with George Lucas back in the summer of 2012.
  3. This is the first film in the franchise to be distributed by Walt Disney Pictures.
  4. When choosing a director for the film, candidates considered included Matthew Vaughn, Steven Spielberg, Guillermo del Toro, Peter Jackson, Christopher Nolan, Ben Affleck, Joss Whedon, Brad Bird, Rian Johnson, and James Cameron. The choice fell on J.J. Abrams. It was subsequently announced that Johnson would write and direct the eighth installment of the saga, scheduled for release in 2017, and would also take part in creating the ninth installment two years later.
  5. After J.J. Abrams publicly declined to direct the new Star Wars film, Kathleen Kennedy visited his office. Their negotiations lasted more than a month. The main problem for Abrams was that this project is incredibly huge and has great cultural significance.
  6. Jonathan Rhys Meyers was considered for a role in this film.
