Critic reviews
By any measure a rousing, even restorative seventh chapter in the immortal space-opera saga established and now relinquished by George Lucas. Full review

Star Wars: The Force Awakens, J. J. Abrams’s long-awaited reboot of the franchise, is in many ways less sequel than remix, a loving mashup of familiar scenes, characters, themes, and dialogue. Full review

Our critic was never a Star Wars fan. This time he laughed, cried and cheered at a breathtaking sequel by JJ Abrams with genuine heart and soul. Full review
