No official reviews are in yet (they won't be released, by Disney's permission, until tomorrow the 16th), but by everyone who has seen it and has posted, it's great. One film-maker/director, who was there for the screening, says that it's the best STAR WARS since the original 1977 film! That's saying a lot.

OK, this is going to make it a lot harder for me to sit around, waiting for it to come out on bluray .... [Frown]

Looks better than the prequels but I will wait until the Christmas holidays are over as some assholes are bound to bring their small children to screenings.

Will we find out Han Solo dies in the reviews? He will always make cameo like appearances like Alec Guinness in later movies.

There is apparently some big revelation in the very last shot of the film. A kind of cliffhanger. I think it sounds good and much more in the style of the originals. Practical effects and real extras not CGI extras and hopefully none of those gooey backgrounds of the prequels.

Hehe,mike I'm the same,so many people can't seem to control there kids and I hate cinemas now because of all the braindeads with mobiles,poxy phone screens lighting the place up.
I will wait till new year one afternoon when it's quite. Will it be better than a new hope and empire strikes back? Obviously the special effects will be,or should be nearly 40 years on, excluding the CGI, I,my not a fan of those at all although they do have a place in movies when used lightly.

Tom

It not just kids. I went to see cinema awhile back and these four pensioners at the back seem to have brought sweeties sandwiches and a thermos flask of tea with them. During the film they had to question each other as to what was happening!

As you say a nice quiet afternoon in the new year will be fine for Star Wars.

Well this was worth the wait l am pleased to say.
The only down side was the half hour of cinema advertising before the movie.
I am now looking forward to seeing it again but in IMAX 70mm in a couple of weeks time.

A half hour of commercials?! Bloody hell! I'll wait for the Blu-ray!!!

The force is certainly strong with this one. Nearly every review I have been reading of this gives it very high marks and state that it is the best STAR WARS movie since the original trilogy, (some are even saying that it's on a par with the original film!)
