JJ Abrams

Excited by the prospect of a bad guy wielding a crucifix lightsaber? Thrilled about the idea of a new space adventure set 30 years on from Return of the Jedi? Overjoyed at the return in somewhat gnarlier form of Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill alongside a bunch of fresh-faced young ‘uns recruited as part of a long-term plan to carry the franchise on until the heat death of the universe?

Yes, it’s JJ Abrams‘ mega-hit first instalment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
