Movie Review: 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'

I’m not going to write a real Star Wars: The Force Awakens review. Everyone else already has, with the amount of money it’s already made you’ve probably already seen it multiple times, and I have far too many feelings to adequately put into words. So, I’ll keep this brief.

That's Right, There's More 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Footage, Including A Familiar Face

By the time December 18 rolls around, it feels like we’ll have seen all of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, though it’s being revealed one shot at a time. Yet another TV spot has hit the airwaves, and this one features some fun moments, but also quick glimpses of a new character and another familiar face from the original trilogy.

This is starting to get a little ridiculous.

And the flood, a very welcome one mind you, continues with this latest extended TV spot.

Movie fans, and really even non-movie fans, around the world are all kinds of amped up about the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It’s to the point where we’re pouring over every frame of the most recent trailer, examining any toy or coloring book we can get our hands on, and reading into every last image trying to glean any possible nugget of information.

Tons Of 'Star Wars' News From D23, Including The First Look At The 'Rogue One' Cast

Disney’s D23 Expo is currently going on right now, and while I have almost zero interest in being there in person (crowds stress me the hell out), this year is interesting solely because of Star Wars (I don’t care about being the first to see new Marvel stuff, not even at all). We’ve already heard that there won’t be any new footage from The ForceAwakens, but there are a ton of other things going on in that far, far away galaxy, and Disney and Lucasfilm unveiled some new info about the future of the franchise, and there’s a few badass nuggets to be sure.

But don’t worry if that quick snipped of new footage the other day left you starving for more, because this morning arrived with a bunch of new photos to peruse.

Well, it looks an awful lot like this awesome new video that mashes them together. You may be surprised by just how well the two fit with one another.

Watch The 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Reel From Comic-Con

As guarded as I’ve been about new StarWars (the Special Editions are problematic, and I know there are defenders out there, but the prequels are fucking garbage), I can’t help but get giddy about Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Director J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm are saying all the things I want to hear, and, more importantly, they’re doing all of the right things. Take this behind the scenes video they debuted at San Diego Comic-Con last night.

The Full Slate Of 'Star Wars' Films Revealed

Yesterday’s big announcement that Phil Lord and ChrisMiller, the duo behind The Lego Movie and 21 JumpStreet, are making a movie about a young Han Solo movie is enough to keep Star Wars fans busy for a while, but that’s not all we’re going to get. With San Diego Comic-Con this week, and Lucasfilm’s presence, we knew more was on the way, and now some has leaked out ahead of schedule, namely an image showing the entire upcoming Star Wars slate.
