There has been an Awakening in the Force, have you felt it? If not, were on Earth have you been. TV Spots, merchandising and promos for Star Wars: The Force Awakens have taken over every form of the enterainment industry. Every day for the past two weeks, and undoubtedly for the next two weeks familiar anthems, sound effects and iconic imagery have been bombarding audiences worldwide, be it on the internet, TV, radio or even down the shops.

With the film completed and, presumably, with all of the cast and crew having seen the final product the praise for the movie is starting to flow. Lately returning star Harrison Ford voiced his approval of the movie, and now while speaking to Rolling Stone the president of Lucasfilm Kathleen Kennedy has added her praise to what is arguably Abrams biggest directorial project to date...

“I’ve never seen him yell at anybody or lose his cool. [Abrams] is a fountain of ideas, nonstop. In fact, it usually exhausts everybody else around him. He’s endlessly curious, and he wants to try things, and then you finally have to say, ‘All right, we’re running out of time, you have to make a decision!'”

“Nine times out of 10, J.J. was dead-on with it. “You know, it doesn’t feel right in your mouth, and you try a couple of other things, and then you say, ‘You know what? You’re right.’ And ‘Chewie, we’re home’ is manifestly better than ‘We’re home, Chewie,’ or a couple of the other options that I tried.”
