Star Wars the Force Awakens (1)

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Why we’re looking forward to it: As our list is making clear, 2015 is packed with guaranteed money-makers, and arguably the most eagerly awaited cash cow of them all is Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Everyone and anyone who knows anything about the film seem to be saying all the right things – C-3P0 star Anthony Daniels was recently quoted as saying that it might be better than the hallowed The Empire Strikes Back – and the hype will only get louder as more details are released.

With Star Trek, J.J. Abrams has already shown he’s able to revive a dormant franchise. With a cast that’s a wonderful mix of veteran experience and up-and-comers, here’s hoping he’s managed to do it again. May the force be with it.
