Film Review by Bowe Bergdahl.
"Star Wars: The Force Awakens," which was just released on DVD and BluRay this week, is a refreshing return for Star Wars fans to George Lucas' beloved saga a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. It has everything Star Wars fans love: action, adventure, romance, all set against a great galactic battle of good versus evil.
Among the many outstanding performances, I really want to single out John Boyega for the character of Finn, a disillusioned stormtrooper who just decides one day to walk off post and becomes the hero of the movie. I can't think of any character who has ever spoken more to who I am, except of course Jason Bourne.
I'm sure Finn was told plenty of times to stay where he was, but as a freethinking individual he just had to follow his conscience. A really important lesson of the film is we could all stand to be a little more like Finn: questioning what we've been told all our lives, or at the least in the year since we entered basic training.
