Han Solo: Chewie, we’re home.

The Force Awakens

The long awaited sequel arrives and my son chants out the story line displayed as the credits roll up the screen into infinity, but he is unable to keep up as they become smaller and smaller – sucked into a greater, outer space. No matter.

Then the camera view drops, holding blank space and some glittering stars, a delicate soundtrack sets the mood for the next adventure as planet with a large destroyer class space ship roll into view – it is as if time has stood still.

What follows, is a visual treat with the homage to the old cast, including Hans Solo and Chewbacca which works well with the new team of Rey and Finn – but, I really enjoyed the references, visual and voice which link and pays reverence to a great movie legacy.

We both loved this latest incarnation – a magnificent 7th !
