While some fans believe that the original franchise is much more greater than this new one, others predict that the release of the Star Wars: The Force Awaken is going to break records. Fans are already excited to see Han Solo who is played by Harrison Ford who also appeared in the original franchise alongside Princess Leia played by Carrie Fisher and Luke Skywalker Mark Hamill who by the way haven't appeared in any trailer they've released so far.
The new film also features fresh faces like Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver and John Boyega also starring Oscar Isaac who is also portraying Apocalypse in the upcoming movie X-men: Apocalypse. Set years after Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, the story focuses on four main characters. Star Wars' data bank describes these characters; Rey (Ridley) a resilient survivor, a scavenger toughened by a lifetime of dealing with the cutthroats of the harsh desert world of Jakku, Finn (Boyega) a trained warrior desperate to escape his past, Finn is plunged into adventure as his conscience drives him down a heroic, but dangerous, path and Kylo Ren (Driver) a dark warrior strong with the Force, Kylo Ren commands First Order missions with a temper as fiery as his unconventional lightsaber.
