Just got home from the midnight screening. I really enjoyed it throughout, no boring bullshit political crap like in episode 2. Loving some of the new characters especially.

I went in cosplay with a bunch of Rebel Legion and 501st members, had plenty of photos taken with complete strangers and will probably be on TV. Fuck me, what a ride.
