BB-8 soon meets scavenger Rey (Daisy Ridley), stranded on the planet as an infant and still waiting for her parents to return for her.
But Poe’s mission is interrupted by First Order forces led by Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and Poe is taken prisoner - though not before he hides the necessary information inside his BB-8 unit, which duly escapes into the desert. Luke is, at first, the MacGuffin of this movie, the lure that gets everyone else moving. The story begins with Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), “General Organa’s most daring pilot”, sent to recover a clue to the whereabouts of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) on the desert planet of Jakku. By the end, it’s given us a reason to be excited about Star Wars’ future as well. From the biggest - dark versus light side, dogfights, mystical powers - to the smallest - mouse robots, turbo lasers, absurd alien Cantina music - this glories in reminding us what we all loved about this universe. Abrams’ wake-up call to this sleeping giant of a franchise. If you were to make a list of the essential ingredients of a Star Wars film, you would find almost all in J.J.
