I'm somewhat surprised there's no Star Wars The Force Awakens thread. So, who's seen the new Star Wars?

I find it to be highly entertaining, although slightly disappointing at certain parts. The new characters, Finn, Rey, surprisingly even Poe, especially him come to think of it, are all around quite likeable. As for Kylo Ren, mixed feelings right there. I don't mind him as a character, his inner struggle however and connection to certain iconic characters are poorly done in my opinion making that infamous death scene a lot less emotional than it could have been.

Stormtroopers were a lot more capable this time around which is a refreshing thing to see, save for Captain Phasma. All that hype for 30 seconds of pure and utter disappointment, reminds me of Boba Fett to be honest. She should have fought Finn instead of TR-8R who was awesome by the way. My biggest gripe with The Force Awakens though, is that it feels all too familiar, I'm all for fan service but The Force Awakens retraces way too many steps A New Hope did.

It sounds like I'm overly critical of The Force Awakens, I'll say this though, this was one of the most pleasant experiences I had at cinema, I felt like a kid again, hell, I even got a Chewbacca toy with my drink, how awesome is that.
