Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Star Wars: The Force Awakens successfully kicked the sequel trilogy off, grossing $2.07 million worldwide, and it contains some of the best moments of Star Wars - and some of the worst decisions. When Star Wars returned to the big screen in 2015, the pressure was intense. Disney had paid $4 billion to acquire Lucasfilm, which meant Star Wars needed to return in a big way.
A Fast-Paced, Character-Driven Adventure The Force Awakens maintains the energy that the original trilogy had when first introducing us to the Star Wars galaxy. Many accused the prequels of being emotionless, and The Force Awakens brought emotion to its forefront, using it to motivate the journey of characters like Rey, Finn, and Kylo Ren. It just feels more in-line with the original trilogy, and feels like one of the most heart-stopping and incredibly memorable adventures in Star Wars.
A Vessel For Imagination And Discovery But one of Rey's biggest strengths as a character is how she really wants to find her place in the galaxy. It's core to her character more than it ever was with Luke or even Anakin. Rey exists in a pre-established Star Wars galaxy where the events of the original trilogy have already happened. Heroes exist, and she knows about them just like we do; we get to follow her as she discovers this new story, making her an incredibly effective protagonist.
6 The Force Awakens Has Great Action Scenes & Battles Best Star Wars Movie Close Opening with a bang with the First Order village raid on Jakku, The Force Awakens has some really wonderful action sequences. They have a distinctly modern sense of speed and dynamism with modern VFX at their disposal. And most of all, they're all very emotionally grounded, with characters we care about in these raw, intense conflicts, whether they be in starfighters or with lightsabers.

Here we choose the very best of the three movies. The Trio Is Never Together Again While the story clearly just could not have functioned with Luke and Han meeting at any point, it's still very sad that The Force Awakens couldn't bring the trio back together again. It would've been so triumphant to see them on screen at the same time, but the Star Wars sequel trilogy's somewhat painful story prevented this. What hurts most is that now, with Carrie Fisher having passed away, it can truly never happen.
