Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015): Reviving the legendary franchise after a decade-long hiatus, Star Wars: The Force Awakens reintroduced audiences to a galaxy far, far away with a blend of nostalgia and new characters. Directed by J.J. Abrams, it follows Rey, Finn, and Poe as they join forces with Han Solo and Leia to combat the First Order. Grossing $2.07 billion worldwide, it became the highest-grossing film in the U.S. at the time. The film successfully bridged generations, honoring original trilogy elements while launching a new era. Its marketing campaign was among the most extensive in history, driving immense anticipation. Though criticized by some for mirroring A New Hope’s structure, it was widely praised for its pacing, performances—especially Daisy Ridley’s breakout role—and practical effects. The return of Harrison Ford’s Han Solo added emotional gravity. Its box office dominance signaled strong audience appetite for legacy sequels and revitalized Disney’s investment in the Star Wars universe, leading to multiple spin-offs and sequels despite later controversies.
