Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens



I saw Star Wars two weeks ago. WOW! It is amazing!!! I was blown away by the special affects. The story was gripping and endearing. The acting was just awesome. The VII episode blends in perfectly with all the other Star Wars.

 We can learn so much from the story and characters. All of us can relate to the emotions, struggles, and experiences (to some extent) of  the characters in the movie. Often we find ourselves all alone. Often we find ourselves doing things we don't want to do, acting a way that is not who we really are. We struggle with this internal turmoil but can't seem to find a way out. Often we try to run away but our past is close on our heels. Often we feel the struggle between the dark and the light. We feel both sides of the force in our lives. This movie is about teens finding who they really are. Finn has to decide if he is one who runs away or does he stand and fight tyranny. Kylo Ren desperately seeks to become a part of the dark side trying to complete his conversion. He fears he will never be as 'strong' as Darth Vader because he feels the pull of the light side. He knows that is who he is, but he rejects it.  Rey finds herself on a journey to find her identity in who she is, who her family is, what is her personal mission.

We all have this journey, search, discovery, struggle, and mission. We are all desperately searching to find who we really are. How do we find who we really are?
