JJ Abrams succeeded: Got meet the expectations of millions of fans worldwide restoring their faith and hope in one of the most popular stories and poignant film, while she threw a new light to future generations and, of course, several confused they did not know the saga. Star Wars: Episode VII-force Awakening (Star Wars: The Force Awakens; EU-2015) recovers the essence of Episode IV: it is funny, touching and humorous; It has the power to transport us to a distant galaxy where good and evil are struggling for control of the universe and whose genesis is brewing in the bosom of a family.
And here's the important thing, being a family drama whose story has implications for social and political context, in her heart the eternal battle between free will and predestination arises between the inheritance of our fathers and our ability to break those family traditions to forge a better future.
Episode VII is much the same story told to us in Episode IV, but with different characters and different contexts.
In this installment, the Empire has been destroyed; however, his remains were brought together into a murderous organization known as The First Order, in whose ranks plays a gentleman of the dark side of the force known as Ren Kylo (Adam Driver)
In opposition we have a girl named King (Daisy Ridley), lonely teenager living on a desert planet as pepenadora scrap, waiting for their parents to return someday.
It is also a rebel Stormtroopper, rebels and decides to forge their own destiny, called End (John Boyega); a pilot called Dameron resistance Poe (Oscar Isaac), a new sympathetic, loyal and Luchón BB8 android named, and a couple of old acquaintances: Han Solo (Harrison Ford), the generala Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher), Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) 3PO (Anthony Daniels) and R2D2.
The bottom line is that Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) is lost and everyone is looking for, as is still the hope of the rebellion to destroy the remnants of the Empire.
The script, which is run by Lawrence Kasdan, JJ Abrams and Michael Arndt, is a gem: capture the original essence of the series and masterly meets with the steps in the path of the hero of Joseph Campbell, author who inspired George Lucas to create the story.
The characters, both old and new, maintain a degree of complexity that makes them fascinating, but at the same time we face under a veil of exquisite simplicity.
Episode VII is much the same story as the previous tape, but led to a new generation; for many -for lack of vision-this is a marketing gimmick to keep the money. Under this veil, a basic principle underlying Joseph Campbell had warned: the man has told the same story again and again, with the same hero but with different mask.
J. J. Abrams connected with the essence of Campbell and Star Wars, and gives us a spectacular work that will help the commission of the series for many years. Is there a need to make money? Yes, of course, but also of transcendence through narrative art of the twentieth century.
