Watched it today, it was a good movie. It entertained me, I had fun with it. Did it wow me? Nope. Still enjoyed it and I want to see the rest though. It’s definitely better than the prequels, and I don’t hate the prequels as much as most over SW-fans seem to.
The good scenes hit me good enough. Sadly I was spoiled on who Kylo Ren is because some fucktard posted an image on another site I visit with Kylo Ren wearing Queen Amidala’s headdress titled "When he chooses to be more into his grandma" or some shit like that, and I immediately knew that he’s Han and Leia’s kid. Thanks asshole. At least the initial reveal is low key enough that I didn’t feel like it took away a big moment. Because the scene on this bridge is the big moment I didn’t wan’t to have spoiled.
Didn’t knew the rest though, and I liked all of it. Especially that Finn wasn’t the focus, got knocked out and Rey got the sword and kicked ass with it. It’s pretty obvious that she’s Luke’s daughter or a clone or some shit like that, there’s no way she isn’t a Skywalker. The clues are too obvious.
I enjoyed Kylo Ren, he was badass and imperfect enough to be liked, and they don’t kill him of, he will continue to appear and be stronger in the next movies. The scenes where he destroys stuff around him are really precious for some reason, I liked those a lot. Especially the second one where the two Stormtroopers are like “Not dealing with this shit” and turn around immediately. That was really funny.
Captain Phasma was a complete joke though, that’s the only thing I hate about this movie. Jesus Christ, they get a great actress and she doesn't even appear without the helmet? WTF?! The Riot Stormtrooper is cooler than her! What the fuck Disney?
The only thing about the plot I didn’t like was what my father pointed out: What happens in this film is too similar to the classic trilogy. Farm kid gets picked off a desert planet, road trip with a smuggler, giant evil space weapon, they destroy it with one pilot flying close up to shoot it, lightsaber duel during the end. Of course it’s not exactly the same and I don’t really hate the fact it borrows so much from the classic formula, but it is rather similar. The background is obviously different with Snoke and stuff, and I am interested to see how this develops.
And as a fan of the EU, I can’t help but think that some decisions are downright copied and pasted. Kylo Ren – Darth Caedus anyone? Thank god though that Rey doesn’t appear to be his twin sister, that would’ve been awful. Also, they named him Ben. That’s cool with me because I feared Han would shout “Anakin!” at him. But still… Ben Skywalker comes to mind. But that’s more speculation on my part than anything, the EU is now legends and this is something different.
However, if Finn is Lando Calrissian’s son I will shoot myself. Please, please don’t.

Yeah I kinda want to pick up the Black Series Kylo Ren with the Starkiller base now, especially after the SHF had the freakin visor of the helmet textured. That’s definitely not how it looks in the movie.
