In 2012, Disney bought Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion and revived the Star Wars franchise, announcing the new movie (and trilogy) shortly afterwards. Star Wars: Episode VII will be known as The Force Awakens.

Episode VII will be set 30 years after the end of Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Since Episode VI was released in 1983, this next film factors in the age of actors such as Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Luke Skywalker.

New adversaries

Whereas previous films pitted the Galactic Empire against the Rebel Alliance, both groups were in shambles after the Battle of Endor. They’ve both reorganized as the First Order and Resistance, respectively.

Only four characters have featured in all six previous movies and R2-D2 is one of them. The little droid will be back in action again, though it’s not sure what his role will be. Kenny Baker, the human actor boxed up in R2 for all six Star Wars films, will be hopping back in as pilot of the little droid. C3PO is also coming back, though even less is known about his role.

Harrison Ford, playing Han Solo, was injured in June when a hydraulic door on the Millennium Falcon crashed on his ankle. The injury sent him to the hospital and postponed filming for two weeks. (The director was also injured while trying to pry the door off.)
