Star Wars Episode VII -- SPOILERS INSIDE
WOW.
Holy fucking shit. I need to compose myself first and put together thoughtful posts... but first, need to sleep. I watched Episode I to VII in sequence at the theater from 1AM to 10PM today. Absolutely thrilled for how a new story is born out of an old one. |

Loved it also.
Spoilers Below: It did bother me how fast Rey was able to use her abilities. Like how did she know that she could influence ones mind? Also was pretty annoyed with Leia that instead of consoling Chewie after they got back she hugged Rey who's known Han for what, a few days? |

Eh I'm a fan (not a crazy fan just fan as in I like the other movies - mostly) and I thought it was OK. I'm super glad I didn't pay for it and didn't have to go at midnight (watched it at 7PM last night thanks to a work vendor premiere).
New versions of basically the same characters. Dunno, I was underwhelmed - it could have been much better IMO. At least the stormtroopers can aim better.

JJ Abrams still does not understand how large space is.
Deus Ex R2D2. Completely glossed over the blowing up of Hosnian Prime. Asides from those 3 things, I liked it. |

A fair assessment, and I imagine Episode 8 will spend more time on the issue, but my friend who I saw it with totally did not grasp that the New Republic capital was blown up, because they covered it with like one line.

Seems like the First Order is just one aspect of the remnants of the Empire that we have yet to see. I actually appreciated this part, it made the story more simple and not filled with dialogue bloatware like Episode II/III |

I watched the first showing today at 10am since my office is beside the movie theatre and had no major project deadlines for today LOL
As a big fan of star wars, overall, I enjoyed it! BUT it's not perfect. The movie had the feel and adventure of the original but I was a bit disappointed in the movie storyline. I feel like there was too much fan servicing and the story line for this movie is basically like the new hope! I guess Disney wanted to take the 'safe' route and hire JJ Abrams for the job. It really makes you wonder what direction/story ideas that Lucas had for the sequel...since Disney thought it was too 'bold' for the franchise. Loved the new characters and the overall set up of the trilogy. I liked the direction and development of Kylo Ren. He's clearly not a sith lord and is very inexperienced and young hence being more of a fanboy than even a sith apprentice since he was taken down by Rey (he was injured by Chewie and conflicted with killing Han). I have a feeling that Rey is Luke's daughter but it's not clear yet. Not much is known about Finn yet so I'm not totally convinced he's force sensitive. |
