And while this book doesn't quite have the va-va-voom, the force of the source material, it serves to bring the story to the bookshelf, from where I am sure it will routinely lifted. It's only because this is such a well-loved franchise that such minor details matter. I'm sure it never named Ren's main ship, and you can leave the cinema unaware of the name of that huge boss of his, as well as the beast of burden when BB-8 is first fought over. We're in the world of the series much more, in fact, than we might be from just watching the film. But the real nitty-gritty of the drama is inescapable, and we're soon leaving Poe to his journey back to civilisation, and in full flight.Īnd we're fully in the story, just as we should be. They don't amount to much, all told, however – Imperial Stormtroopers shouldn't be all jock-ular after a training hologram that's borrowed from X-Men and Star Trek extra bits surrounding Rey with BB-8 don't add anything really. What you also get, however, are 'exclusive scenes', and I suppose you have to call them that, not having read the adult novel they certainly don't correspond with the DVD's dropped material. There's no real death and destruction, nor even the real reason Finn's helmet gets bloodied. It being a very PG telling of a PG story, you don’t get all the details that appear, however briefly, on screen. The narrative is fine, really getting in to the action and the character both, so you see, for example, Finn's personal rebellion just as much as you do the swooping dogfights and dramas elsewhere.
Yes, and it arrived in a package containing a brilliant pictorial version of the story, so it had a lot to do to make itself stand out. They had to wait months for a book telling the story their way. The Alan Dean Foster adaptation of the script was for adults – it was a lot longer and more wordy than they were used to. But when they got home there were no books suitable for the young readers to use to engage with what they'd just seen. The time machine was called The Force Awakens, the seventh film in the enduring series. Adults took their children along to see a proper time machine – one that would take the parents back to a future-seeming science fantasy action film, and would transport children to an ideal place where derring-do did, where spacecraft never bothered with taking fourteen parsecs to do the Kessel Run when they could do it in twelve, and where high-octane action was to be had. Summary: The novelisation for the junior reader finally arrives, and with it comes one more slice of the very kinetic pie called The Force Awakens.Ī long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… Actually, it was any place on this planet you care to mention.
