The Force Awakens leans heavily into shades of Star Wars past and isn't shy about that in the least. 'Star Wars' premiere: Droids, wookiees and Han Solo Gone is the clunky dialogue of the prequels - instead, it’s replaced by some seriously clever writing that often leads to nice little moments, many with Han and Finn. The aging Solo has much more gravitas but still has a way with one-liners, courtesy of Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan’s script.
While Abrams uses many of the legacy players sparingly, and thankfully never lets them overshadow the newcomers, he gives Ford time to shine and really do something neat with a man who has reverted to his smuggler days. Just as good is Driver, who’s a different and more petulant take on the Vader villain template but finds a way to be even more menacing when he takes off his dented mask. Audiences will miss him when he’s not around. Isaac is fantastic as flyboy Poe, who has a swagger reminiscent of Ford from the original films. They wind up in the Millennium Falcon and run into its old owner Han Solo, beginning a sequence where secrets come alive and the kids get a sense of how epic their battle for survival really is. The dynamic between her and Finn is something new for Star Wars, with her bright-eyed heroism complementing Boyega’s roguish wit.
(By the end of the movie, pretty much everybody is going to want a Rey action figure, guaranteed.)īox office awaits show of 'Star Wars' force
Ridley brings a lot of pathos to Rey while also giving her a strong sense of naivete at first, which plays into her being the Luke of this new trilogy.
