Star Wars: The Force Awakens saw the eagerly anticipated
reteaming of original Star Wars stars Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher,
and Mark Hamill, along with Anthony Daniels, the only actor to have
been in all seven Star Wars films, and Peter Mayhew. The returning
cast was joined by newcomer Daisy Ridley, who beat out fierce
competition to take the principal role of Rey; BAFTA Rising Star
Award winner John Boyega (Attack the Block, Imperial Dreams) as
reluctant stormtrooper Finn; Emmy® nominee Adam Driver (Lincoln,
“Girls”) as the villainous Kylo Ren, and Golden Globe® winner Oscar
Isaac (Inside Llewyn Davis, The Bourne Legacy) as Resistance pilot
Poe Dameron.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens was directed by J.J. Abrams and
written by Lawrence Kasdan & J.J. Abrams and Michael Arndt.
Lucasfilm President and eight-time Academy Award® nominee Kathleen
Kennedy and J.J. Abrams, along with his longtime producing partner
Bryan Burk, are the film’s producers. Having established a musical
legacy with his iconic scores for the previous six films in the
Star Wars saga, acclaimed composer John Williams returned to score
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, ultimately garnering his 50th Oscar®
nomination for his work.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens brought an estimated $248 million
in North America, and two sequels, Episode VIII and Episode IX, are
scheduled for release in 2017 and 2019.
