What an incredible ride.
Everything from the transitions and music to the sets costumes made this film feel like part of the original trilogy... or a continuation thereof... instead of a fan fiction like the prequels.
To those saying Ray in Ep 7 = Luke in Ep 4... Are you kidding? Have you SEEN episode IV? Ray is headstrong, confident, bad mother trucker. Luke was a kid growing into a man. Totally different. Yes, there were some common plot points (Desert planet, abandoned family, etc. etc. ) but the characters were totally different.
Its nice to see the damsel-in-distress and "only woman in the galaxy" tropes absolutely destroyed by this film.
Finn is a truly unique character. He "dresses for the job he wants" and plays a reluctant hero that isn't sure if he's ready for the big leagues.
There are lots of emotional moments in this film. If I had a complaint, it would be that there is TOO MUCH emotion. I left feeling like I had a lot to process.
Anyway, it was fantastic and I can't wait for the next one.
