Star Wars Episode 7 – The Force Awakens
Star Wars Episode 7 – The Force Awakens is set to be one of the largest theatrical releases of the year, and possibly beat Avatar as the highest grossing film of all time. The official trailer for the movie have already reached over 71.5 million views on Youtube alone. The Force Awakens has already broke the highest presale tickets for IMAX, crashing ticket websites for early tickets sales. You can take a gander at the Star Wars Episode 7 – The Force Awakens trailer below:
The film is set to be released Dec 18th (some theaters showing it late Dec 17th), and will feature some of the old cast (Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill all confirmed), as well a host of new cast members. J. J. Abrahams will be directing. He is the same man behind Lost, the Star Trek reboots and several of the Mission Impossible films.
Check out Movie Spoiler Alerts
With this being the 7th film in the series, a useful youtube channel I have found is Movie Spoiler Alerts. They have done 5 minute summaries of all the previous Star Wars Films (and other movies). Very useful as a quick refresher, or to catch up on the series if you’re going to see the new Star Wars, but haven’t seen the earlier films. (Full Disclosure: the vlogger is my son.)
These summaries are just get to the key plot points, introduce the important characters, and give you everything you need to know in under 5 minutes. So instead of rewatching all six 2-hour long films you can watch these short Youtube videos and get all the info you need to join in on the Star Wars madness Dec 18th. I’ll link the clips for the first 6 episodes below, and may the force be with you!
