Secrets and twists galore in a galaxy far, far away...

Although everyone seems to have different opinions about Star Wars: The Force Awakens (after multiple viewings I€™m still very much in the €˜pro€™ camp, for the record), there€™s one thing you can€™t deny about it €“ it€™s got the public talking about Star Wars more than they have done in years.

Spoilers ahead for The Force Awakens.
