For any fan of the series initiated in 1977 by George Lucas, returning after so many years, is obviously going well beyond the simple release of yet another Hollywood blockbuster. Yet J.J. Abrams film is. Yes and no. Actually almost as much as the first.
The film historians will tell you that at the time of its release, Star Wars was a (mega) success surprise, except perhaps for its author who had struggled for the unfortunate 11 million to turn the adventures of Han, Luke and Leia. On the screen, all was not perfect. Starting with special effects, almost rudimentary in terms of technological prowess of today. Whatever.

The Awakening Force starts at the bottom levers. In space, a squad of Stormtroopers is about to land on the planet where Poe Jakku Dameron (Oscar Isaac), the best driver of the Alliance, was charged by Leia (Carrie Fisher) to recover from the hands of old Lor San Tekka (Max Von Sydow) a plan leading up to his brother, Luke Skywalker, disappeared for ages. Attacked by the troops of the First Order, Poe says the precious treasure to BB-8, his droid, before being captured by Kylo Ren.
