Just got out of the theater. Still trying to figure out exactly how I feel. Really loved it for the most part but it has some problems. That's probably just me way over analyzing it though. All the hype leading up didn't help things.

Wow.
Just left the theater. I mean, I'd assumed they'd probably do something like that, but to see it happen... Wow. |
Kinda feel like you just watched ANH with more special effects? (my feels after many whiskey and cokes :beer: )

Been this afternoon. Almost missed out due to me buying 11 tickets for a party of 13 whoops! Cinema took much pity on me.
Thank you Mr Abrams for having half a clue, you done good. |
I loved it. Seeing the old guys back almost made me cry.
Wish I could unsee chapter 1-3... |
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. |

Remember that Abrams is a huge Lucas fan, so this move is very much an homage to the original. I think the subsequent movies will depart further... at least I hope they will! |

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. |

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 ass 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! :rofl: |
I've never seen any Star Wars movies.
