Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens - Spoilercast #60

 

Join Chris, Drew & Mark as they analyze & review (with FULL SPOILERS) Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, the 2015 new trilogy starter, and revival of, the biggest property of all time! No more George Lucas, instead this is a Disney film directed by JJ Abrams and starring Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher with a special appearance by Mark Hamill!

It's finally time to analyze, in a MEGA breakdown, the opening chapter of Disney's new space opera trilogy! So many things have changed in front of and behind the camera - and we're covering it all!

In the 7th entry of our Star Wars retrospective series we dissect this uber-blockbuster's insane budget, visuals, an incredible ensemble cast, big saga reveals, a never-before-seen Stormtrooper perspective, new mythical mysteries within the saga as well as our next generation of heroes & villains.

This is an absurdly fun film review that sees us debating this entry and the series' big questions, intense moments, epic X-Wing & Lightsabre action, Disney's plan moving forward and discussing/theorizing what we're looking forward to with 2017's Episode VIII: The Last Jedi.

We begin our 3rd Star Wars movie trilogy with intergalactic families, the copycat First Order, the definition of nostalgia and the search for Luke Skywalker.

Wait - what does this movie's title actually mean?

You are very welcome to join us on our in-depth series journey en route to Rogue One and The Last Jedi.
