So big is our recap of The Force Awakens that we need to split it into two parts! Here you can enjoy part 1 of our full recap!

We've done the prequels, we've done the originals, we've done the other ones. What's left? The sequels of course! It's time go get into the Disney part of the Skywalker Saga as we move into the 2015 blockbuster hit The Force Awakens. Why is Colin excited to finally talk about this movie since being ignored four years ago when we last did an episode on it? Is Kathleen Kennedy really to blame for any of the issues in the sequel trilogy? Did Colin & Ben dress up when they saw this for the first time? How excited were they to hear about the casting of our beloved original three? Does George Lucas eat at Applebee's? Is BB8 a cool droid or overrated? Why is the opening text crawl kind of redundant? Is Kylo Ren freezing the laser shot the most epic scene in all of the sequel trilogy? What do we think of his lightsaber? Why doesn't Rey just take food and sell BB8? How great is Finn, even though there are so many issues with his character? What is the deal with Poe's jacket? What could they have done to make Rey's brilliance in everything make sense from the very beginning? Is it great to have Han and Chewie back, even though their introduction scene is very pointless? Do we even remember the name of Maz's planet? Do we even care about Maz? Why do we just not care about the republic getting destroyed? How awesome is Hux? How is awesome Kylo Ren? Does this movie have a weaker storyline than The Last Jedi? What do we think of LUPITA NYONG'O? Are we feeling a bit flat over the battle sequences? Do we love the JJ Abrams honour role of past actors from past projects? What is the deal with C3PO's red arm? How amazing is it to have Daniel Craig in this movie? Why should Kiefer Sutherland be in this movie? Is Han Solo's death a little too obvious? How angry are we that Chewie doesn't hug Leia at the end? And do we still get so excited over the ending? Another interesting and excited episode to get you more into Star Wars!
