    I just saw it as well and have to say I really enjoyed it.<br><br>
    Storyline felt tighter than the prequels and it felt more character based with all the advantages of modern technology to make it look great.<br><br>
    I will be looking forward to the next installment.

    I liked the Rey character and it's nice to see a female filling that role.

    It def has the feel of the original trilogy, something Lucas couldn't do with eps 1 - 3.<br>
    Great cast helped this time too. I'm guessing life will never be the same again for the 2 new leads.

    Yep, they could just retire to the events scene for the rest of their lives.<br><br>
    As you say, life changing roles certainly

    I wish I knew how to do the spoiler thing on here so for those who haven't seen it I'll keep it brief but I was a bit disappointed with the villains save for the 'Emperor' type baddie.

    <p>the little image to the left of the Font drop down, is in alpha, so find spoiler and away you go, if you need to type it, as follows:</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>[spoiler]tell us your bullshit here[/spoiler ]</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>just don't have the space after the word spoiler in the second set</p>

    [spoiler] could see the death of Han Solo coming, maybe Ford felt he was too old for the rest of the series? [/spoiler]

    <p>[spoiler] has always wanted to kill off Han. I think Han was put in carbonite in Empire in case Ford didn't come back. TBH I thought they didn't mine his death enough emotionally (although if they focused more on it people would complain getting their heart strings pulled) and it was weird that Leia didn't go straight to Chewie when they arrived back.

    Better than A Phantom Menace is the best I can say about that.<br><br>
    Poo.<br><br>
    Interesting that something with the initials J J has fucked up a Star Wars film once again.

    No we just have different tastes. Incredibly enough that happens sometimes Nepia. My 10 year old was severely pissed off with the film and I don't blame him.<br><br>
    [spoiler] Han farking Solo is killed by his fucking son who happens to be Kylo Ren. And the supposed badass Kylo Renn is actually a weird-looking loser who gets his arse kicked by a girl who just found out she has Jedi powers. Oh yeah, wtf was that Snork guy? They nicked that from GOTG.<br><br>
    Love the original plot too. Secret plans hidden in droid. Teenager on desert planet with unknown past makes contact with said droid. And the secret awesome weapon that can wipe out planets. Where have I seen that before? Guys on ground taking out shields. Pilots fly through trench to blow it up. Nothing recycled there. All fresh and original.<br><br>
    The acting was very good. Liked Ray, Finn and especially Po. Plenty of potential there. Effects and costumes top notch. But plot was shit, Ren was shit, and Han Solo getting wacked was shit. But if you enjoyed it then congratulations. [/spoiler]

    <p>[spoiler] I'm pretty sure that the plot was 100% deliberate and I was fine with it - the series started with a film cobbled together from other movies and serials.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Better a recycled plot done well than one that is incomprehensible (Phantom Menace) .... IMHO. [/spoiler]</p>
