Abrams doesn’t pile on the mayhem, and, for the most part, the pace remains fast without being overly frantic. Abrams, with Michael Arndt and the “Star Wars” veteran Lawrence Kasdan, “The Force Awakens” takes off with a battle and closes on a meaningful moment of quiet. Among the strongest creations of Team Abrams, Kylo Ren is a kind of baby Darth Vader who throws tantrums in inky-black robes while wearing a leather-and-metal head appliance that looks like a domination mask by way of the grille of a 1952 Chevy. Ford, she has become more of a supporting player in a crowded room that also includes Adam Driver, who brings intensity and flowing physical grace to Kylo Ren. Leia is now a resistance general and played with a muted twinkle and tasteful up-do by Ms. That Finn saves Rey and she saves him in turn isn’t a new dynamic Princess Leia, created in the wake of second-wave feminism, was always a thoroughly liberated woman, whether shooting a laser gun or working a metal bikini.
