Saw the original film in 1977 aged 11.
Went to the cinema and saw it about 8 times, the only time i've multiple watched a film at the cinema.
Loved it (obviously) .
Wasn't so keen on the second one thought the third one was pretty good.
watching them again before the launch of the Episode One thing , i saw that they weren't actually very good after all so never went to see Jar Jar Binks and co.
Bearing in mind I dislike Star Trek, but adore Doctor Who, don't like most superhero movies except The Watchmen and a couple of recent Batmans and like good acting and plotting, should I bother with this new one ?
yes its real good

Yes @Tidgy's Dad . You absolutely should.

I saw it on Sunday!!!!!!!
My range of emotions throughout the movie- :D:):D:confused::eek::(:D:p:D:rolleyes::Do_O:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::(:oops::):Dando_O
Because Luke needed to start dancing or something. That got awkward.
OH MY GOSH! Of course there are some problems with it, but there are problems with every movie! Who saw that death coming? BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE IT COMING. I honestly thought Kylo was going to ask Han to kill him, but whatever.
Who thinks Kylo looks like Snape? I wish he has left his helmet on until Rey asked him to take it off.
Whoa, stormtroopers have really good aim in this one! Finn is great, but I need to know how he survived that, since wasn't that his spine?? BB-8 is adorable, and I must figure out immediately how he rolls. Rey os great. Who thinks she's somehow a Skywalker, in a strange, contrived way?
Snoke is odd. Hux was great but I wished we saw more Phasma. I liked how Kylo slowly became less of a menacing presence and more of an angry teenager.
Can we talk about the fighting style? It's a lot more aggressive, but it really works. And everyone laughed at Kylo's hilt-sabers. Haha.
I walked out of the theater laughing, though, because of that scene. Why?! Luke's just out on planet Ireland and take freaking lightsaber GOSH.
It was great :D

Ok, I'm intrigued.
No idea what you're talking about of course, barring a couple of familiar names, but time for me to rewatch the first 3.
the I'll try the next set.
And watch this end of January

I have seen it twice now. It is a pretty satisfying movie. I like the casting and in particular like Rey. I also like that the main thrust of the movie isn't all computer generated images. They have left themselves a ton of directions to take the franchise in.

I thought that was great too. Maz's face was little odd, but who cares :) she was great.

I'm busy working on New Year's eve preparations and unpacking from recent travel, but as soon as time is on my side, I'm really eager to catch up on this thread and desperately want to discuss the movie!!! Awwww YEah!

STAR WARS. What did you think?
LERVED IT!!!! JJ Abrams knows Star Wars fans. This was exactly the right feel and look. Heck, they even destroyed a Death Star again---woops!---I mean Star Killer! I'm thinking he made this movie very particularly to comfort the real Star Wars fans. "Don't worry folks! No Jar Jar here!" I think he went out of his way to be similar to the originals to earn some fan trust. Mission accomplished! He gets it! I give him my nerd stamp of approval to branch out a bit in the movies to come! I'm already looking forward to them.

I actually have tons I want to discuss with you and other posters here. I just need to actually have a few quiet minutes:D

p.s. Loved Kylo Ren's VOICE so much when he's behind the mask, that the man could read me the WEATHER FORECAST and I'd HAPPILY JOIN THE DARK SIDE! I'd be right up front cheering as the awesome evil red-headed Admiral (-blanking on his name-) gives his "Hitleresque" domination speeches! :p "Woo hoo! Go Dark Side! ....Now, talk to me some more, Kylo...."

you guys can go ahead and discuss the movie if you want you just give a heads up if you're going to talk about spoilers, I will be seeing the movie in about two weeks or so.

I'm genuinely concerned we're already ruining it for you. I went into the movie completely ignorant and had no idea what people thought of it. I ignored every single review, stopped watching trailers for an entire year, stopped watching this thread once it was released, and went into the movie not knowing at all what to expect. I think walking into the theater completely naively was the way to go and I would suggest it to anyone else. I'm eager for you to see it too. I'd love to hear your perspective and any small things I may have missed. I've only seen it once and people that have seen it more than I have picked up on one or two fan moments I missed.
---
I'll post a big "Spoiler alert" warning whenever I talk about it from here on out. BUT- I will tell you that the scene where Chewie eats the big blue humanoid baby was really disturbing to me. I'm really surprised it didn't get a more adult rating for that scene alone.
