There's a reason why The Force Awakens has already proven to be the most anticipated movie of all time. Three names; Luke, Han, and Leia.
These three characters were the central figures of the original trilogy and are now returning.
The original trilogy was so successful partly due to the fact that audiences wanted to see where these characters were with each installment. At the end of the original Star Wars, we saw them triumph over evil.
In The Empire Strikes Back, we saw them at their worst as they struggled against terrible outcomes foreseen by Yoda and Luke on Dagobah and by the end we're left with one of our heroes frozen, almost lifeless, after declaring that he knew about Leia's love for him.
And in Return of the Jedi, audiences came back to see how this family would prevail in the end and were thrilled to learn that the "other" that Yoda shockingly referred to in The Empire Strikes Back was in fact Luke's sister, Leia.
