I went to a midnight screening in Melb then again on the weekend with my dad, I loved it Like someone already mentioned, it had a more visceral feel to some of the action scenes which was really intense for star wars and i think worked really well. Initially i wasn't sure how to take Tarkin, it was probably distracting a bit in the first showing but then was better the 2nd time.

I really enjoyed it and will definitely be keen to watch it again with some mates.

I am very curious if they will release deleted scenes and talk about the changes, because there were quite a few differences to some of the previews.

I missed seeing Chopper but did catch the Ghost a few times from Rebels. Someone thought they saw a lasat like Zeb but I missed that as well.

I loved the detail in the ship explosions and collisions too, that was really cool.

Overall really enjoyed it and a worthy addition to the franchise!
