Disappointed about the lack of Captain Phasma in the movie. Although that scene where Chewbacca tackled her to the ground and made her disable the shield gave me a good laugh.

Film was good, hope they don't kill off luke in any of the following sequels
Ahhhh I see now, I guess maybe cause they only went with the one offspring in this version (so far that is) they must have felt that particular name would hold the most meaning out of them all.Quote:

Regardless it still had its own unique parts and themes, and I definitely found the cinema experience thoroughly entertaining (was quite cool in 3D if I do say so myself), the characters were relatable and the story was told very well in my opinion (I'm intrigued and I want to know more about a lot of things, particularly Rey and Kylo), effects and cinematography were great although the score wasn't as memorable in my mind (other then when the old themes came out to shine), all up I came a way with a huge smile on my face and I can't wait to watch it again with my kids, not to mention I'm also left hanging to see what happens next, that indicates it was a positive experience for me so yeah, as far as I'm concerned well done Abrams on a successful reboot, now lets see how you go from here cause the next one will be make or break in my eyes and I don't think you will be able to hide in the comfort of repetition again, the next one definitely has to stand out on its own (story wise that is)
I loved it. Tired so can't say more for now. BB-8 and Rey were surprisingly awesome.
Yeah I dug it. Being an older fan I get the whole poetry thing happening with this and it didn't bother me one bit. Great flick
Lots of laughs along the way....really having a good time......then something bad bad bad bad happens. Nausea followed by increased tearfulness followed by shakiness and then denial
Holy crap. I felt bad all day today 😢
I'm processing all of it
Enjoyed it thoroughly and saw ALL the ANH story copies and then some of the ROTJ story copies BUT
Solo dead at the hands of his son is excellent and Kylo Ren not being a fully fledged Dark Side user with uber strength in the force and weaknesses that Rey and Finn exploited I liked a lot.
Definitely more interesting than the prequels.
Definitely enjoyed it. Woke up the next morning struggling to believe Hans fate. I had a bad feeling about that. Basically everything I thought about the movie has already been said.
I've been having with people, threatening spoilers then telling them that Kylo Ren is Jar Jar Bink's son :D
