Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens
FILM 8.45PM, C4, ALL 4
After convoluted prequels by George Lucas, the originator of the Star Wars universe hands over the reins to JJ Abrams, who responds in spectacular fashion. Daisy Ridley’s gritty scavenger and John Boyega’s Stormtrooper on the run team up to find a crusty Harrison Ford and attempt to destroy the new Darth Vader, Adam Driver’s conflicted Kylo Ren. Big, bold and holding the original trilogy close to its heart, this is glorious entertainment. ★★★★★ NP
