Today I am going to talk about the new film Star Wars VII: The force Awakens.
Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, marketed simply as Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is the first film of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. The film is directed by J.J. Abrams; written by Lawrence Kasdan, Abrams and Michael Arndt; and produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Bad Robot Productions.
Despite initially claiming that the Star Wars story ended in Star Wars: Episode VIReturn of the Jedi, and spending years refuting speculation that there would be another film, George Lucas began work on the story of Episode VII in 2011 in order to increase the value of Lucasfilm Ltd. before he sold it to The Walt Disney Company, although Disney would later elect to not use Lucas's story. The acquisition was finalized on October 30, 2012, and Disney and Lucasfilm officially announced Episode VII the same day.
The Episode VII story features the forces of the First Order, a remnant of the fallenGalactic Empire, aligned against the Resistance, sprung from the Rebel Allianceand supported by the New Republic.[13] The story material will not be based on Star Wars Legends, formerly known as the Expanded Universe, rather, it will be an original story set after Return of the Jedi. The film stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill,Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker reprising their original roles. The original actors are joined by a host of new actors including Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac, amongst many others. The film will be presented in RealD 3D and IMAX 3D where available.[14] It will be able to be streamed on Netflix in Canada in 2016.
