Star Wars Ep. VII: The Force Awakens instal

The First Order is this political and military junta that came into power after the Battle of Endor, inspired by the principles of the Galactic Empire and hell-bent on controlling the galaxy. The bad guys in Force Awakens? Those guys are called the First Order. A lot of stuff happened, but what you need to know is that The Empire – the all-powerful, fascist galactic government – was brought to its knees at the Battle of Endor by these adorable, fuzzy little creatures called Ewoks, who were armed only with slingshots.įorce Awakens takes place 30 years after this battle, which was a pretty big deal, so you should probably definitely know about it.

The Force Awakens takes place after Return of the Jedi, which came out in 1983. This is perhaps my favorite Star Wars fact. There was also this super-annoying character named Jar Jar Binks.

Jackson played Mace Windu, and there was this really cool villain named Darth Maul. The Star Wars franchise was rebooted once before in the late ’90s and early 2000s with three movies not a whole lot of people liked. You don’t need to have seen any of the prequels. Here are 10 things you should know before you go watch Episode VII. This post is for those of you (us) that just enjoy a good lightsaber duel and the sporadic high-speed car chase through space. Some of you have an encyclopedic knowledge of the Fett bloodline and can tell Wookies apart by how their fur is braided.

Some of you have queued up and watched the other six Star Wars films in preparation for this momentous occasion.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theaters this weekend.
