I know!
its very very new hopey. But it many ways gets most things right that the prequels got wrong.
I can't even begin to get over this mistake. So I watched the scene from Empire again. I mean...it's POSSIBLE the saber landed next to Vader and didn't fall down the shaft. In that case, It's POSSIBLE he picked it up and took it with him and it's POSSIBLE over the course of time it changed hands and ended up locked away somewhere.Edit - Uncharitable points:
*So that was Luke's light sabre that previously belonged to Annakin? When and how was that recovered from Cloud City?
This might've been one of the laziest bits of screen writing I've ever seen. BUT, in a movie full of lazy writing, I just couldn't care by the time it happened. There was a LOT of convenience at work here. Han finding them out about in the galaxy like that in the first place? Jeeeeeez.*R2D2 perked up out of nowhere, save for plot convenience.
I don't understand how the thing blew up in the first place. Weren't they on a planet at one point? then suddenly they were fighting a space station...I clearly missed something. Plus, I thought they were going to just disable it, not blow it up...*After all the criticism of a second Death Star in RotJ, they think a third is a good idea? Dispatched of just as easily?
BOOM!It won't have many of the weaknesses. It will likely not have any of its peaks, either.
It's almost funny how much I was afraid of this movie not being anything like the other films, and then my major complaint was that it was TOO much like the other films. Everyone's already saying it, but it's basically note for note A New Hope with some BRILLIANT new additions that get a little lost in the shuffle. Some really great cinematography here, decent direction, I like the new characters pretty well. I think the idea of a broken sith lord is fun, but they've made him far too simple a character so far, so I'm looking for more."Give the people what they want" was the name of the game, apparently. A real shame, because the new characters are all great and deserved something better than going through the same situations as their forbearers.
That fight hurt my Star Wars loving soul. I wanted to love it, but it was so beyond belief.Not really sure howAnd the result is that it makes the main villain a lot less threatening.someone who never touched a lightsaber before is able to easily defeat someone with considerable dark side powers.

I thought, I really thought, it was going to be a completely different movie from the others, in look, in feel, in style.I'll probably end up liking it a lot more than Laz, but honestly yeah... did we expect anything else from this? Anticipating it being exceedingly self-referential, ever since the first trailer really.
I prefer the spoilers, this is not great artam i the only one who want spoilers before watching it or am I going insane?
all early reviews from friends who waited 3 hours to see it last night range from "good! i had fun. solid B+" to "one of the best movies i've ever seen."
i'm waiting until after Christmas.
and will not look at this thread until then.
the score was good
My reaction ranges from yes to FUCK YES.
It's a gorgeous movie with great new characters and the promise of Luke and Rey kicking ass all over the galaxy. I'm very happy.
I look forward to the tubing planet Laz introduces in Episode X.
