In 2015 - spoiler alert - it is not only white males who get to harness the power of the Force. Part of the power of “Star Wars” movies has been how they have invited generations of audiences to imagine themselves as heroic characters in the fantastical, detailed world George Lucas conceived nearly 40 years ago. The second sign arrives when a Stormtrooper removes his helmet to reveal the face of a black man, English actor John Boyega, whose character, Finn, emerges as a conflicted combatant central to the action.įULL COVERAGE: ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’
Rey’s sensible wardrobe is the first indicator of a change in the galaxy, and the movie keeps them coming like X-wings on the horizon. Rey is costumed as a woman might dress herself, for herself.
She wears no high-heeled shoes, no copper-plated bikini, no princess robes. The first sign that “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is different from the six “Star Wars” films that came before it arrives when Rey, the protagonist played by 23-year-old English actress Daisy Ridley, appears on-screen in a weather-beaten tunic, slouchy pants and a pair of rugged boots perfectly suited to a hardscrabble life of scavenging on her desert planet.
