Here are some of the most important things that have been revealed:
movie
Written by JJ Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan – who co-wrote The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi – The awakening of force is the first installment of the franchise by Disney, since the company bought the franchise in 2012. Abrams, who directed the film, he has promised to bring fans Star Wars to the roots of history and return to the method of using actors in suits of aliens, with real scenarios and other “practical purposes” after a period of relying on computer-generated effects, used in the three previous films.
History
It develops about 30 years after Return of the Jedi , but little is known about the plot. Although at the end of Episode VI of the saga was a celebration that suggested the end of empire and conflict in the galaxy, new official history novels and two trailers franchise suggest that that did not happen.
Previews of history show masses of imperial soldiers in training fighters in X-Wings and even the legendary Millennium Falcon fighter and a sinister character (Kylo Ren) that carries a lightsaber, who fights against an apparent hero, Finn (the actor John Boyega).
We know there is an entity called the First Order could be a successor to the Empire in the times of The Return of the Jedi .
And there is something called the Resistance. It is not clear if this group is part of (a successor) of the New Republic, which the novel Star Wars: Aftermath , was formed after the disappearance of the Rebel Alliance.
As for where this story takes place, we know that a planet called Jakku plays a significant role. Glimpses of the desert can be seen in two new video trailers and 360 degrees created by Facebook.
According to the game creator Electronic Arts, behind Star Wars: Battlefront (to be released in the coming days) Jakku is a “remote and deserted planet” and the Instead of a key battle in which “the New Republic is facing strong imperial keys”. It was during this battle that you can see a crashed ship in one of the trailers for the film, according to EA.

The cast
It’s a mixture of old and new. Some old fans of Star Wars were thrilled when they saw Han Solo (Harrison Ford) tell your partner, “Chewie, we are at home” at the end of the second trailer for the film. Besides Solo, Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia returns and Mark Hamill is back in the role of Luke Skywalker. (Hamill recently tweeted that he will return for Episode VIII).
Among the new characters they are Finn and Rey, we have seen a lot in the previews of the film.
Oscar Isaac will be a pilot called Poe Dameron resistance. Gwendoline Christie, Game of Thrones , will play a character of the First Order, the Phasma, Domhnall Gleeson will captain the General Hux and Andy Serkis will Snoke, the Supreme Leader of the First Order. Adam Driver will Kylo Ren.
Little is known about the character of Lupita Nyong’o, Maz Kanata, another computer character, beyond the fact that it is a pirate and owns a castle generated. Warwick Davis, Max von Sydow and Simon Pegg also part of the cast.
The greatest mysteries
In the first trailer a voice is heard saying “there has been an awakening, do you feel?” Who or awakened the Force, and why?
The second teaser includes a passage from a scene in Return of the Jedi , which tells Luke that Leia are brother: “The Force is strong in this family. My father does. I have it. My sister has it. You have the power, too. ” What is the significance of this phrase in the context of the new movie? “.
Does Finn has a sense of the Force? A poster revealed last August by the actor who plays the character, through Instagram, John Boyega shows a blue lightsaber in the same dark forest where Kylo Ren shows her red sable.

What’s on King? A trailer shows Han Solo giving a lightsaber.
The second trailer, released in April, shows someone holding the case of semi-destroyed Darth Vader. What does this mean?
The official novel Star Wars: Aftermath includes a small plot involving a trio of characters who call themselves the Acolytes of the Hereafter, who buy a lightsaber is supposed He belonged to Vader. The characters tell the seller you want to destroy the sword “so he can return to his master in death.”
These details have prompted speculation about attempts to resuscitate Vader’s death or to obtain power. Then we have the mask Ren, which closely resembles that of Vader; Abrams as he told Entertainment Weekly (EW): “This was a tribute to Vader mask.
Another question is, who are exactly Finn and Rey? Does Finn is really an imperial soldier or was just pretending to be? And why we not know their names? Are they relatives of some characters from the first tape?
“Just say it is completely intentional that their names have not been released,” Abrams told EW. To add to the intrigue, King says in a trailer that is waiting for her family.
Where is Luke Skywalker and do not appear in the photos and trailers? So you see we have already seen your hand at some stage. This has led some to wonder which side has taken the son of Darth Vader .
