Oh are we ever. I loved this movie,Star Wars feels like Star Wars again. some may say that this is a rehash of A New Hope and there are some,but I don't think it's overdone. The new characters are all great and you care about them. Daisy Ridley was really great but the standout to me was Adam Driver,wow. He played Kylo Ren perfectly,he showed his evil side,his battle with the light side,his anger and his conflict. Driver really nailed it,especially in his scene with Han Solo. Best scene in the movie.
John Williams does it again with his music,what a beautiful score.
The movie had it's funny moments in all the right places and was dark when it needed to. I really loved Poe and Finn's friendship and hope to see more in episode 8 and more of Poe in general. He was underused. BB8 was very cute and funny,I want my own! It was not perfect however,I would have liked to see more Poe,see Luke,Leia and Han together again. More backstory on why Kylo has so much hate towards Han;I guess we'll probably get more backstory to that in the next episode but would have liked it in here,would have made the Han/Kylo scene all that more powerful.
Overall it was very enjoyable and one I will be seeing many times in the theatre.
May the Force be with you.
