You guys who responded made me feel like I was 8 again. :)

Not a fan of anything really since the first three. And not much of an Ewok fan either.

LOVED Star Wars and saw it like 8 times. 8 years old and was stunned and enamored.

Can’t wait to see this one!

It's worth it. Mrs WBill dragged me to it over the weekend.

I had heard it stunk. Wasn't all that interested in attending. But, since my lovely wife wanted to go....

I actually enjoyed it. Good flick. People on the thread are right, beginning was a little slow, and it got better and better. Meshed nicely with the entire story, and not in the ham-handed way that George Lucas does it.

Depending on how long it's been since you've seen the original Star Wars (A New Hope) or if you can quote the movie line for line, that might be worth watching as a refresher. There's a million tie-backs (tie-forwards? tie-ins?) to the original Star Wars. Watching them was as much fun as the movie itself.

I was shocked how good it was. I don’t think there was one bad scene In the whole movie, the third best SW movie (IMHO). And not a hint of PC, just great action!
