Act 1 - 7.2

Still a really good movie even after multiple viewings
Has its big and memorable moments that will stick with you while making the franchise fresh and exciting
Would recommend to any sci-fi film fan
Score is still incredible and is the emotional core of the film
Luke is gone and the First Order is now in control and in search of Luke
Leia is leading the Resistance and are also in search of Luke for his help
See the evil of the First Order killing everyone in the village and introduced to Poe, BB8, FN2187 or Finn and the glorious introduction of Kylo Ren a force user
Stopping the plasma shot is awesome
Finn realizes that what they are doing in wrong and helps Poe escape
We meet Rey living on her own on a desert planet as a junker and she meets BB8 and she is waiting for her family to return but has been waiting a very long time
The Resistance finds BB8's location and go after him
Finn helps Poe escape and bond quickly and crash land on Jakku where Rey and BB8 are to get the map that leads to Luke
Finn wakes up and there is no sign of Poe upon crashing and meets up with Rey and BB8
Learn storm troopers are trained from birth to follow commands
Young people know of Luke only as a myth in this present world
Rey shows she's very capable of doing things on her own
Rey, Finn and BB8 escape Jakku from the First Order on the Millennium Falcon which has been in a junk yard for years, escape scenes with all the crashes ships is cool
Subtext shows that Kylo knows something about Rey and who she really is
Han and Chewie board the ship and Rey is amazed to see that Han is real and his stories are true and enlist Hans help to get to the Resistance
Han with the music in background saying he knows look is great moment
Dumb scene with the clans attacking their ship with the dumb creatures, should have been cut but nice to see Han in action again
They all escape from the clans on the Falcon but now the First Order knows about them
Meet Supreme Leader Snoke in a cool hologram who is commanding Hux and Kylo
Snoke and Kylo are both force sensitive and it is revealed that Han is Kylo's father and was trained by Snoke
Map to Luke is incomplete and learn that Kylo turned against him as he was training new Jedi and disappeared after his failure
Awesome scene with the map and Han saying the Jedi are real
Harrison Ford is great in the film and is the best he's ever been as Han
Rey still holds on hope that her parents are coming back to her on Jakku
They stop at a location for Han and meet Maz and everyone knows their location now
Kylo talking to Darth Vader mask and call him grandfather letting us know that Leia is his mom showing why he has the force, good scene
Finn is scared and wants to run away with Rey but she wants to stay and help
Rey heats something calling to her and it's Luke's lightsaber and a series of visions that have a bunch of good info
Maz says whoever she is waiting for isn't coming back and she must move ahead and Rey doesn't want the saber as she is scared
Space Nazi scene is great and they fire on the last remains of the republic destroying 5 planets like a super Death Star, great scene visually
Maz gives the saber to Han and the First Order arrives as does the Resistance and see Poe is still alive
Kylo captures Rey and Leia and C3P0 arrive
Great scene with Han and Leia seeing each other and talking about Kylo
See R2D2 has been covered up and has been down since Luke went away
Han and Leia great scenes together and Leia still has hope for Kylo
Rey has the power to resist Kylos force abilities and turns them around on him and Snoke wants her
Rey using the force to escape is awesome as she is learning what she can do
Resistance comes up with a plan to blow up this larger Death Star
Han and Leia embrace is great
Han, Chewie and Finn arrive to stop the First Order and get Rey and take down the shields
Han sees Kylo on the catwalk and calls him by his birth name which is Ben, awesome scene
Set up next film with Kylo killing Snoke with what Han says that he is just using him, reason for Kylo to kill Snoke
Kylo kills Han and punches him off the catwalk in an awesome scene, Leia senses Hans death and Chewie shoots and injures Kylo
Kylo bearing his wound in the forest is great
Rey calling the saber is awesome with the music hitting
Lightsaber fight in the snowy forest is aesthetically great
Rey is winning the fight when they are separated by an earthquake signifying line between dark and light
Finn is badly injured and Chewie helps them get out
Leia and Rey hug after a resistance victory and see R2D2 power back on and had the rest of the map to Luke
Finn is healing and Chewie flys to Rey to go see Luke
Chewie and R2D2 stay behind as Rey climbs the island mountain to Luke
Perfect emotional ending with Rey extending the saber to Luke both with tears in their eyes, best scene in the film amazing when the theme hits
