Saw The Force Awakens Today

And it was AWESOME!!!!!!!



And if anyone (cough - George Lucas - cough) had any doubts about Han shooting first, rest assured, a man who'd casually throw an enemy into the mouth of a rampaging monster (what where those things called??? Raznors, Ravenors?) wouldn't have hesitated to shoot Greedo first.

And likely spoilers in the comments, so be warned.

I saw it Friday morning opening weekend. The IMAX show was full and we opted for the real 3D show which was 95% empty. My DH who normally hates 3D really liked the 3D effects. From the opening star background it had me. Sure it's a deja ju of the 77 original (how many times did I see that in the theatre) which was both comforting and annoying. Enjoyed the in jokes and references to the original. Did just watch a nod to Phil Tippet who did stop motion characters of the chess set, designing Jabba the hut , found it on Geeks of Doom. Little disappointed by father/son but it is a nod to original series. Will probably see it again fairly soon.

So who looks good in orange: rebel alliance pilots! But now they wear red.

I did get hit hard with a sense of deja vu as the opening sequence started.

What I loved were all the call backs to the original - Finn activating the game board on the Millennium Falcon, Rey pulling out the small automated training ball that Ben used with Luke, Han FINALLY giving Chewie's cross-bow a try.

It was terrific and I can't wait to see it again.
