“The Force Awakens” is, chronologically, the seventh volume in the Star Wars series. The much-hyped film opened Friday across the country. For true fans of the series, this chapter does not disappoint. It offers original Star Wars nostalgia, great humor, action sequences worthy of the genre, a new adorable droid, some new heroes and villains, and some old favorites.

In this episode, Helen wasn’t allowed to go to the test site, probably because she is working on Little Boy and not on the gadget.
