The Dark Side is Strong in Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley has revealed that iconic director Steven Spielberg has seen the new Star Wars film, The Force Awakens, three times.

The San Diego native also said that taking on the role of the villainous Kylo Ren brought on its challenges.

Glimpses of the film have trickled out since the first teaser trailer was unveiled in November 2014.

Star Wars fans are eagerly awaiting the day of December 18th, when The Force Awakens will be set free at movie theaters across the country, but what about on Christmas Day?

The trailer released on the Facebook page of the franchise has already taken social media by storm with fans gearing up for the upcoming movie. With new official Star Wars Christmas ornaments, that’s how. Epic battle scenes abound and the cryptic voice of the Supreme Leader Smoke, voiced by Andy Serkis, talking to Ren can be heard.

The original trilogy films were all rated PG (PG-13 did not exist at the time) and the first two films of George Lucas’ prequel trilogy were rated similarly.

When you look at Star Wars and Empire, they are very different lightsaber battles, but for me they felt more powerful because they were not quite as slick [as the prequels].

Perhaps the most important bit in the trailer is the inclusion of more Han Solo and Chewbacca.

According to the MPAA’s rating of the new movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the movie contains “sci-fi action violence”, which the Hollywood Reporter’s Graeme McMillan referred to as “entirely appropriate” in a recent report.

The clip also shows Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) commanding his fellow X-wing pilots to “give it everything you got” to fight back the Dark Side.
