THE STAR WARS EPISODE VII- 2015

Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, marketed simply as Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is the upcoming first film of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. The film is directed by J.J. Abrams; written by Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan; and produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Bad Robot Productions.

Some North American theaters will also offer special limited advance showings on the evening of December 17.

Despite initially claiming that the Star Wars story ended in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, and spending years refuting speculation that there would be another film, George Lucas began work on the story of Episode VII in 2011 in order to increase the value of Lucas film Ltd. before he sold it to The Walt Disney Company, although Disney would later elect to not use Lucas's story. The acquisition was finalized on October 30,2012, and Disney and Lucas film officially announced Episode VII the same day.

The Episode VII story will feature the forces of the First Order, an offshoot of the Galactic Empire, aligned against the Resistance, sprung from the Rebel Alliance.The story material will not be based on Star Wars Legends, formerly known as the Expanded Universe, rather, it will be an original story set after Return of the Jedi. The film stars Harrison Ford,Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker reprising their original roles. The original actors are joined by a host of new actors including Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac, amongst many others. The film will be presented in RealD 3D and IMAX 3D where available.[13] It will be able to be streamed on Netflix in Canada in 2016.
