It will feature some heartstrings-pulling character changes, practical effects, Star Wars noises, and JW music.

There is next to no chance that this will be anything less than a good, fun film. But the idea that the above combination might produce something as good as the original trilogy is laughable (although I'm sure there will be the usual overexcited "Guys Lightning Bolt Force Awakens is the best one in the whole set yeah I said it" hyperbole in the first few months after release).

You're about to get a solid, fun, rewatchable film called Star Wars. Why that wouldn't be enough for someone...why they would have to talk themselves into The Division Bell being not a good Pink Floyd record, but the best Pink Floyd record...I will never know.

If you don't want to know, just don't click on the thread. Just don't. It's that easy! Just don't.

Spoiler: show

it does follow template to a large degree, but its better..anyone who saw me say ANH has the bones of a good film, but it could be done so much better? this is that..but much much better than id hoped...its totally its own beast..As Stip was saying, the impact/feel it factor in the battles is incredible..it looks stunning overall..this showing was in 3D and that really worked on shots of the star destroyers/big stuff but didnt come into it apart fom that...gonna fess up to crying both happy and sad about 9 or 10 times during it...the reveals are done SO well...there's one shot of Han in the Falcon i nearly jumped up and cheered the acting is great across the board..i have one huge problem but ill hold off making my mind up about that until i see it again thursday..the part they filmed here in Ireland is SOOO obviously Ireland, but thatll just be me notices that..In the end? its got that Star Wars feel all the way through:) the shots and direction even down as far as extras & stormtroopers..you could be right back in the originals and that all adds to it.. im not gonna rank it yet but man, its fuckin up there:) bring tissues..im not being a big girl..youre gonna cry too

You weren’t a huge fan. I read like thirty pages of posts last night. We’d mostly a really positive reaction to it here. Apart from lv

That made no sense.
