When Disney confirmed my seat at the press screening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I jumped for joy. I was 7 when the first Star Wars film came out in 1977 so I can say that the Star Wars saga has accompanied me throughout the best years of my life. It is an emotional return for many. The adventures of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Anakin / Darth Vader, Obi Wan Kenobi, Yoda and even the droids R2D2 and C3PO have been present in our lives for almost 40 years. It’s been a decade waiting for Star Wars: The Force Awakens and it’s finally here. Episode VII in the Star Wars Saga opens in cinemas in the UK and Ireland on Thursday 17 December, 2015.
Most cinemas are already sold out for the first few weeks, despite some like Odeon adding £2 surcharge on tickets. I recommend to check prices online before booking your tickets if you have more than one cinema to choose from.
