By Jeff Baker (191) for Portland Oregonian (2,019) on 16 Dec 2015

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 16 Dec 2015

What Abrams has done is strip Star Wars down to its core components, rearranging the stuff people liked about the original trilogy and getting…

Review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

By David Edwards (979) for Daily Mirror (UK) (1,133) on 16 Dec 2015
