The loveable R2-D2 has been a fan favorite since his first screen appearance in 1977’s “Episode IV: A New Hope.” “I grew up with them,” says Marco Grob (@marcogrob), who photographed the droid. “You get almost star-struck when you meet R2-D2. It’s incredible when you see it getting unwrapped. It was certainly one for the books. Something I’ll never forget.”

J.J. Abrams is directing Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He recalls first seeing Star Wars at the Avco Center theater in Los Angeles, Calif. at age 11. “It was a confluence of greatness, all these levels of things working spectacularly together,” he says. “And it had incredible heart. There was a sweetness to the story that gave the film this palpable sense of hope.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s the kind of impression he hopes his new fillm will make, which, if the box office is any indication, most certainly will.

Mark Hamill plays Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which is out in U.S. cinemas today. In an interview with TIME, Hamill admits he was surprised when he was called back to a galaxy far, far away. “Remember the torch-bearing angry villagers that stormed the castle in Frankenstein? I had images of that, substitute light sabers for torches,” he says. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing, he concluded. “I had no choice whatsoever. And I love it.“

In Star Wars: The Force Awakens, former Princess Leia, actress Carrie Fisher, returns to the screen as “General.” Previously known for her revealing metal bikini, the 59-year-old actress says she was told to lose weight to play the character she originally portrayed 38 years ago. “They don’t want to hire all of me – only about three-quarters!” Fisher told Good Housekeeping U.K. “Nothing changes, it’s an appearance-driven thing. I’m in a business where the only thing that matters is weight and appearance.”

Out in U.S. cinemas today, Harrison Ford is reprising his role in the latest Star Wars sequel as the beloved Han Solo. For Ford, the original Star Wars movies changed the way we make fiction onscreen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“When that giant spaceship flew over your head, and it was preceded by that kind of old-fashioned title crawl,” says Ford. “And then the rumbling sound of that spaceship, you were in the movie for approximately 30 seconds before you knew you were in for something that you had not seen before and that was gut-level engaging.”

2015 gave us the ever picture of Pluto, made by @NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft. The high-resolution color image was taken more than nine years after the two cameras that shot it left Earth in the fastest spacecraft ever launched into space. “This is really the completion of a 50-year quest to explore all of the planets in our solar system,” says photographer Alan Stern (@alanstern). “NASA began under President Kennedy and finished under President Obama. I believe that 100 years from now, this image will be an icon from the year 2015.”

The still image from the video provided police evidence, traveled from social media to front pages and even made the cover of TIME. Never before has the camera been as ubiquitous
