Star Wars: The Force Awakens Pitch Meeting — Revisited

As the franchise’s big screen future remains in flux, the latest episode of Screen Rant‘s own Pitch Meeting series is looking back at its Star Wars: The Force Awakens video. The seventh installment in the Lucasfilm franchise picked up 30 years after Return of the Jedi, focusing on a new group of characters along with returning icons Han Solo, Chewbacca and Princess Leia as they fight to bring down the Galactic Empire’s successor, the First Order. Scoring rave reviews from critics and grossing over $2 billion at the box office, The Force Awakens kicked off a new trilogy of movies that garnered divisive responses from critics and audiences alike, but were all box office hits.
