Just saw it.

It Was AWESOME :)

OK, a bit overdone, the train robbery.

Han was very much the star. So he’s not a clone or CGI double of Harrison Ford circa 1977. Good enough for me.

How he got his name...

How he met Chewbacca...

Winning the Falcon from Lando...not when you expect...

BTW, Lando only gets the hots for the cute girl...and I kept seeing her as Danaerys Targaryen and imagining her in the state of nature :)

TWO surprise castings, both drew their own applause...one of them for the actor, the other for the actor/character...

SJW message? Meh... No more so than the message that made my double-great grandfather join a regiment of volunteer infantry upon a time...

“No one has made the Kessel Run in under 20 parsecs!” ... “Hold muh beer” (well, not quite...)

So THAT”S why the Falcon looked like a “piece of junk” to Luke so long ago (in our era)...

No vilification of religion, Americanism (I found the violent pro-liberty interlude very American on both counts!),poly-ticks or honkitude...

Anyway, it was the very first showing in my metro area. Yeah, sparsely attended, but yeah. most folks are at work, and if I wasn’t on a “four ten-hour day” schedule, I would be too!

...which leads me to believe that NOT ONE PERSON in this grumpy get-off-my-lawn thread had actually SEEN it before trashing it.

No yawns!!

I didn’t “trash it”, I just said insofar as I’m over 12-years-old, the entire genre doesn’t interest me at all.
