Saw it yesterday. Was not looking forward to it as I've never really got the Star Wars thing other than watching the first one when I was 13. Hated the one that came out last year.
I saw it last night and thought it was head and shoulders better than The Force Awakens. I deliberately watched it in 2D because I was there when The New Hope came out in 77. It very much kept to that feel and I thought the story, in general, worked. Well acted, great effects and the CGI on Peter Cushing, Carrie Fisher and the two X wing pilots was pretty exceptional. In a year they will have nailed that completely. Only the lips gave it away at times.

The X Wing pilot scenes was actually unused footage from A New Hope. Very cleverly done I thought.
Both R1 and TFA are heads above the abysmal prequels. Although there is a tonne of CGI in both it is used correctly and when needed, unlike the green screen fest in Eps 1-3.
As a big fan of Star Wars I obviously respect George Lucas for the universe he created, but the fact that my favourite 3 SW films are the latest 2 plus Empire none of which were directed of written by Lucas proves that the decision for him to sell to Disney was a good one. Still cannot get my head around the fact that we'll have a new Star Wars film every year for a good while to come.
I think i suffered a bit from raised expectations. Dont get me wrong , i enjoyed it but not as much as Force Awakens. I just felt a bit underwhelmed at the end. I dont think it added much to the whole Star Wars universe. Ok it explained why the Death Star seemed easy peasy to blow up... The battle scenes where terrific though. I can never get bored of seeing Stormtroopers , TIE fighters , AT-AT walkers getting blown up. The look and feel of the film was good, gritty realism but still keeping the retro feel of the originals. It links up well to A New Hope. The Zatoichi character was good fun.. and Ben Mendelsohn's Krennic. Mendelsohn hams it up a treat. He's always quality. Looking forward to the Han Solo film coming out next year. Still gutted they killed him off. Now THAT was a scene.
saw it boxing day and just knew who would be in the final scene and even as a cgi character it left a tear in my eye knowing what was happening in the real world to her and sadly she past on the next day
the talk is that she completed her filming for the next one star wars 8 that's going be so hard to watch ,she was my first schoolboy crush
as for the film thought it was great loved the way vader went at it at the end ,and the droid was the best yet

Filming was finished for EP8 back in June. I was fortunate to attend the wrap party at the natural history museum.
