The reviews are in: “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” recaptures the magic

The film is much better than the last Star Wars movie, just not quite as magical as many hoped.

“It sort of mirrors what I felt on the set because the atmosphere was so exciting, so loving, so full of fun…it didn’t matter what job anyone was doing, everybody felt good to be there”, he said.
