Star Wars: The Force Awakens Opens Tomorrow!
As someone who deeply loves the “Star Wars” saga (they are my favorite cinematic offerings), tonight feels like Christmas Eve as “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” premieres tomorrow (December 17, 2015) with early shows followed by a full wide release on Friday December 18, 2015. I don’t have to tell you that this will be an exciting release. Not only are we about to see the rebirth of the beloved franchise for presumably many years to come, but we are also seeing a genuine cinematic event. There aren’t many films that are a cultural phenomenon, but a new “Star Wars” film is just that. From the iconic characters to the fully realized universe, the “Star Wars” saga captures our collective imagination and provides a seemingly endless supply of joy and entertainment to people of all ages. Whether or not “The Force Awakens” will be as revered as the original trilogy remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure, I and many, many others will be gleefully going to the theaters to be transported to a galaxy far, far away once again.

The story revolves around identical twins (Pete and Andy) who are complete opposites. Pete is a goody two-shoes who plans to become a Preacher while Andy is a lost rebellious greaser screw-up.
