It’s finally here! After over a year of waiting, speculating, worrying if it will be good, hoping it will be awesome, The Force Awakens is finally upon us!
As I had stated in earlier posts about this film, I was very skeptical. Like many longtime Star Wars fans, I was let down spectacularly by the Prequel Trilogy, even though there actually were good points to those films.
