It seems quite relatable

5 Stars, It seems quite relatable THE FORCE AWAKENS (STAR WARS: NOVELIZATIONS, #7) By Alan Dean Foster For some reason, these last three Star Wars movies and books appeal to me more than any others in the series. I was delighted to find that this book is almost word for word exactly the same as the movie. They seem quite relatable to me, even though I'm a woman in my 50s. The Force Awakens brings in new players to the Star Wars franchise, Rey, an orphan girl from the planet Jakku; FN-2187 renamed Finn, a former Stormtrooper who has defected; Poe Dameron, the best pilot in the Resistance, and his beloved droid, BB8. We revisit several of our old friends, Han Solo, and Princess Leia Organa, a General in the Resistance; our favorite Wookie, Chewbacca, Chewie as he's known, and the original droids R2D2 and C3PO make an appearance. I like to watch the Star Wars 7, 8, and 9 movies at least once a month. I decided to purchase the book versions, to give my poor husband a break from watching the films all the time. He's said he doesn't mind, but I know he must tire of them. I thought it was hilarious how the names of the droids were sounded out, showing that a computer probably played a part in the writing of the books. Artoo (R2D2), Seethreepio (C3PO), Beebee-eight (BB8). I am happy to have found and that I was able to purchase the Star Wars 7, 8, and 9 books.
