THE FORCE AWAKENS ALAN DEAN FOSTER MOVIE

THE FORCE AWAKENS ALAN DEAN FOSTER MOVIE

Do yourself a favour, youвЂ™ve already seen the movie x times, treat yourself to a copy of the book too. I already knew that Alan Dean Foster was a master when it came to the movie tie-in novel (I still remember reading both the Aliens and the Krull tie-in) and this adaption of The Force Awakens confirms that the old magic is still there. Overall I canвЂ™t find any fault, this novelization is the ideal companion piece to its celluloid counterpart. I may be wrong, but I have some suspicions about the interconnectedness of these new films with the old and I suspect that the novelisations may offer some tantalising hints. There is actually a reasonably good chance that IвЂ™ll re-read this again before Rogue One hits our screens at the end of this year. Hell, may as well go the whole hog and embrace the entire multimedia experience! Those who enjoy musical accompaniment with reading wonвЂ™t be massively surprised that IвЂ™m going to select John WilliamвЂ™s stirring score for the movie as my choice for what your ears should be doing as you read. Hell, I want to go and see it again on screen right now*. It feels like he has managed that Herculean task on every damn page. In this case, Alan Dean Foster has made that lofty goal appear easy. Enhance the experience of the film by making the reader love that movie all the more. I suppose a movie novelisation ultimately has a single objective. Revisiting the ultimate space scoundrel and discovering how things have changed for him and the people that surround him is heart-breaking stuff. There are consequences to actions and people suffer as an outcome. Events donвЂ™t happen in a bubble, especially not when it comes to the rise and fall of galactic empires. The scenes in this book between these two characters read like the living embodiment of that revelation. When I wrote my review of Star Wars: Aftermath a couple of months ago I had a minor epiphany regarding how the original trilogy ended and what came afterwards. I love everything that is going on here but my single favourite thing, because I am a raging sentimentalist at heart, is the relationship between Han and Leia. Those little snippets of internal dialogue that help round out character motivation are so damned delightful. Essentially, that is the beauty of a book over a film you get that extra depth that I think is all but impossible to convey on screen. Put it this way, within a few pages BB-8 came across as even more adorable than he did on screen, Poe Dameron is just that little bit more dashing, Rey is that much more determined and there is far more insight into the differing internal struggles that exist within both Finn and Kylo Ren respectively. The novel does a perfect job of enhancing the existing story. Should you bother revisiting it again so soon? The answer to that question is an unequivocal YES. YouвЂ™ve seen the film and so already know the story. The key question that may have crossed your mind is if reading the novelisation is worth your time or not. DonвЂ™t say that I didnвЂ™t tell you in advance. A word of warning however, if you havenвЂ™t seen it then you should know there will be mild spoilers after the end of this paragraph. IвЂ™m working on the assumption that most, if not all of you, that are reading this have already seen The Force Awakens so IвЂ™m not going to dwell hugely on the story.

So return to that galaxy far, far away, and prepare yourself for what happens when the Force awakens. Yet the simple belief in good can still empower ordinary individuals to rise and meet the greatest challenges. Darth Vader may have been redeemed and the Emperor vanquished, but peace can be fleeting, and evil does not easily relent. Set years after Return of the Jedi, this stunning new action-packed adventure rockets us back into the world of Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2 ,and Luke Skywalker, while introducing a host of exciting new characters. And alongside the cinematic debut comes the thrilling novel adaptation by New York Times bestselling science fiction master Alan Dean Foster. Now the next adventures in this blockbuster saga are poised to captivate old and new fans alike-beginning with the highly anticipated Star Wars: The Force Awakens. More than thirty years ago, Star Wars burst onto the big screen and became a cultural phenomenon. Abrams, hitting theatres in December 2015.
