Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” says Christine Service, senior vice president and country manager of The Walt Disney Company Africa. “As the next instalment in the
Star Wars saga, the release of this film means that every generation will now have their own Star Wars story to experience.”
Fans across the globe have certainly embraced the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, with many holding their own celebratory fan events – South Africa included.
