Thanks ;) Always worry a little more about those off-the-cuff live interviews.

Have seen it twice now, and am heading out for a third screening at 10am :)

I am loving many, many aspects of the new film. A little surprised that they followed through with that major death though. At first, I went in to it with so many emotions unconsciously primed, and the whole thing felt like it was over in an hour. The second time through, I had a little more breathing space to appreciate why many decisions about plot points were made as they were. I did ask myself, can I really love this with Han dying, and Luke barely being in it, but upon reflection, I think the answer is still "yes". I only wish it was't so long to wait to see where they go with the stories for Luke, Rey, and poor unconscious FInn!

Fantastic picture, going to see it for the 3rd time this morning. Still processing details (and 4 hours sleep).

Biggest disappointment: No one lost a hand; but we did lose a Han :rotfl:

Too soon?

LOVED:

-BB8's thumbs up

-Poe Dameron was funny & cool

-Kylo asking for his dad's "help"

-Daisy R.'s acting was so "real." Loved her expressive eyes.

-the humour

-trash compactor reference

-Han and Chewie running onto the Falcon

NEED TO THINK ABOUT:

-very limited Captain Phasma

-did I blink and miss Zuvio??

-the guy with the heavy Scottish accent

-never addressed the issue of Poe killing Finn's friend

-did I miss Hassk thug too??

-space octopus

IN GENERAL:

9/10 at the moment... I need to see it again, of course.

I think Harrison Ford got his wish, he said in interviews way back in ESB that Han should have died, now he has.

Undignified for Captain Phasma, thrown in the garbage shute :lol:
