[QUOTE="Eridanis, post: 7689253, member: 275"] tl;dr: Good movie, stands proudly with the original trilogy. I have a lot of the reactions others have. This is an interesting hybrid of a reboot and a new story. Didn't bother me, though, as a lot of the tiresome tropes were thankfully missing (hallelujah for the lack of severed limbs). Saw Han's death coming a mile off, but it was done well. It's what a father would do, and he died trying to save his son; no regrets. There was real struggle in Ren's face. I don't think that act is irredeemable; Anakin killed dozens of Jedi, including children, and was redeemed 20 years later. But now that Rey has done with him for now, he has reason to be wearing that mask after the scar she gave him! BB-8 was a lot better than I thought he'd be. In fact, I'm on board with Finn and Rey and Po and the other new characters we met; well written, well acted/CGI'd, and people I want to spend more time with. That I did NOT expect. When I saw Squidward (or whatever his name was) on the screen, my first thought was "Gollum is a Sith Lord!" And then I watched the credits and saw I wasn't wrong. I guess the Ring wasn't destroyed after all. Overall, this is the movie Disney wanted and needed. They needed a fresh start to set the next decade-plus of yearly movie releases on a solid storytelling and fanbase-supported footing, and I think they did it. JJ Abrams was born to direct this movie, and I think he can call it quits now. I just wish he hadn't tried to work out these Star Wars urges on Star Trek last decade; very similar energy in both films. I had very low expectations going in to the movie, but now I'm ready to see what else is in store. In other words, spend money. That's also something I didn't expect. [/QUOTE]
