When it was released in 2015, Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens of JJ Abrams exploded the box office. By accumulating more than $ 2 billion in revenue (exactly $ 2.068 billion), the film also secured positive reviews with 93% positive reviews on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Then followed two disasters orchestrated by Rian johnson, who will have signed Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi as the franchise’s most unloved feature film. JJ Abrams will then come back to take over from Colin Trevorrow in Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker for a film that is too fast, full of fan-service and extremely poorly served by a wobbly script.
The plot of Star wars 7 was centered around the search for Luke skywalker, last hope of the Resistance, who went into exile on a secret island. These are the new characters in the franchise (Rey – Daisy Ridley; Poe – Oscar Isaac and Finn – John Boyega) helped by elders (Harrison Ford in Han Solo or Carrie Fisher in Leia) who are responsible for finding him, while avoiding falling on the Supreme Leader of the First Order: Snoke, and a new dark character: Kylo ren.
Star wars 7 ends on a massive cliffhanger: the meeting between Rey and Luke, when the latter arrives on her island. Mark Hamill then turns to Rey and takes off his hood as the young Jedi hands him her sword and… close.
For these few minutes on the screen, where he just took off his hood, the actor has touched $ 1 million, without the latter having to say the slightest word. Like what, removing hoods pays off. But at the level of his colleagues, it’s good Robert downey jr which made it even stronger. For fifteen minutes on the screen in the film Spider-Man: Homecoming, the actor touched the staggering salary of $ 10 million, or $ 33,000 per second on screen !
