Yeah after thinking about it over today it has some issues, but overall I still very much enjoyed it. I will be going to see it again next week in 2d, and I will probably go watch it third time also.

I was a bit disappointed to be honest. I thought they called it in on the main story lines and it came across as derivative. Return of the Return of the Jedi anyone?
I think it does lay a good foundation for further development in future films though.

Yeah, there were a few bits that were pandering to the old timers. "See, we remember how it used to be!" That's just signature JJ Abrams.
I was just glad that:
It didn't feel rushed, like they were trying to cram too much into two hours, and
The villain wasn't a throwaway.

There's definitely some lame aspects to the story too (edit: and really, what doesn't mostly suck with the writing these days) but I won't get into that yet.

Star Wars came out when I was 10. Blown away. Then Empire came out when I was 13. Star Wars kept getting better. But everything since has been downhill, until this movie.
What I wanted from this movie was to leave the theater feeling like I had seen a real Star Wars movie again. One that kicked *** with 10yo me and current me. This movie succeeded in doing that. My kids (currently 10 and 11) got to see a new Star Wars that was worthy of being seen.

And it wasn't chock full of CGI bullshit!
