Star Wars The Force Awakens review: Will make you yearn for the next one

Star Wars: The Force Awakens will definitely turn you into a fan, if you aren't one already. This JJ Abrams' directed Episode VIII has us from the moment the iconic reverse scroll appears and John Williams' rousing theme booms. Hyper referential and full of in-jokes, Abrams takes the best features of the original trilogy and gives us a loving mash-up. As it ends, you are already waiting for its sequel and some answers because of the way Abrams has etched the characters in your memory. Wit, relatable action, and power-packed performances make this one completely unmissable. In short, it's your Christmas gift.
