Three and a half months ago, there was an awakening. Long-time fans came out of the woodworks to re-connect with heroes of their childhood. At the same time, a new generation embraced the light with a side of much-needed girl power, or they favored the dark side because the villain had a cool costume. Theories were thrown out left and right regarding who was related to whom and what really happened during the time between this episode and the last of the Star Wars movies.
Star Wars Movies — Experience Star Wars: The Force Awakens Again
Well, rev up your inner (or WAY out there) geek again because the force of episode seven is available to own starting today, April 1, 2016! Star Wars: The Force Awakens is now out on Digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere. The Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD can be purchased on April 5.
The day after we received our review copy, some family was coming over for dinner. Star Wars: The Force Awakens was the perfect evening entertainment. All of us had a different perspective of the film from the get to. My mom and her husband already saw the movie twice in theaters. My sister and her husband only watched it once but their reaction was tied to their being kids when the first (of the original trilogy) was released. This was actually the first Star Wars movie EVER for Frans and Munchkin. It was so awesome to experience the movie with everyone. Plus, we had the subtitles on and could finally understand what everyone was saying! 🙂

There’s so much material that we haven’t been able to go through all of it yet. However, my personal favorite so far is “Crafting Creatures.” It’s fascinating to see how the non-human characters were created to be totally outlandish yet still relatable somehow. What mind-boggling imagination and talent!
