In Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the story picks up 30 years after the events of the original film, Return of the Jedi. In Return of the Jedi, the Ewoks brought the Empire to its knees with their slingshots, but things are very different in The Force Awakens. Now, a new evil empire, The First Order, has taken their place.

Luke’s past
If you’ve seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens and are wondering about what Luke’s background was before the movies, you’re not alone. Most fans of the franchise have wondered this very same thing. However, a new thread on Twitter argues that Luke’s arc actually began many years before the events of The Force Awakens. The comics series Dark Empire by Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy focuses on this very topic.
In A New Hope, the film opens in a desert world called Jakku. The desert planet plays a pivotal role in The Force Awakens, and many of the scenes are based on concept art by Ralph McQuarrie. The film features an arch that was inspired by the concept art of the movie. One of the film’s most notable characters is the village elder Lor San Tekka (Max von Sydow). He is a member of the Jedi Order and possesses a map containing the location of Luke Skywalker’s hideout.
Jar Jar Binks’ character
The controversial theory that Jar-Jar Binks was originally designed to be the evil puppetmaster of the Sith is gaining popularity online. In this theory, the character of Jar-Jar Binks will appear in the upcoming Star Wars movie The Force Awakens. The film will mark the first new Star Wars movie since Disney acquired the franchise. The plot of this movie is still unclear, but it is expected to feature the sinister Supreme Leader Snoke.
During the prequels, Jar-Jar uses the Force frequently and has an extremely powerful fighting style modeled on the Zui Quan style of the Shaolin Monks. He performs several Force jumps, including a perfect 20-foot twisting somersault. In the first episode, Jar-Jar manages to take down a battle droid tank by himself, even while having his blaster tangled around his ankle.
FN-2187’s absence
FN-2187 was a human male stormtrooper who served under Kylo Ren and Captain Phasma. He was captured at a young age and sold into the First Order’s army. After the battle, FN-2187 refused to fire and watched as Kylo Ren killed the Resistance leader Lor San Tekka and took hostages. FN-2187 was one of the last survivors of the war.
The droid FN-2187’s name is unknown, but Poe names him Finn. After escaping the First Order’s attack, he meets Rey and BB-8. The two of them escape in the Millennium Falcon. Han Solo finds the Millennium Falcon and boards it, but the ship is attacked by gangs that are after Han Solo to settle a debt.
Luke’s relationship with Leia
While the previous two films focused on the relationship between Han Solo and Rey, Star Wars: The Force Awakens focused more on Luke’s relationship with Leia. In this film, the two characters share a romantic relationship. Although Leia initially did not acknowledge her feelings for Han, they eventually realized they had feelings for each other. Leia’s love for Han is further demonstrated when she rescues him from a carbonite ice world. The film ends with the pair reuniting in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens has many elements of the original movies. For example, the original trilogy features the original three Skywalker siblings. The films introduce new characters and remix the original Star Wars cast. Luke is an idealistic naive kid, Leia is a plucky princess, and Han is a swashbuckling space pirate. The film also adds a few twists that were previously unexplored.
FN-2187’s superweapon
Finn, also known as FN-2187, is a fictional freedom fighter and soldier who appears in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The character was created by J.J. Abrams and was based on George Lucas’ concepts. In the film, Finn is played by John Boyega. Here’s what you need to know about his superweapon.
FN-2187 is a Resurgent-class Star Destroyer and the pilot of the Y-Wing fighter. After he is shot down by the turrets of the Finalizer, he refuels the fighter and crashes it back onto Jakku. Finn, now dubbed “Finn,” begins searching for his missing friend. Assuming that he has lost his friend, he decides to look for civilization.
