I went a second time with the kids (after seeing it first just to make sure it would be ok for them) and I liked it much more the second time. There were so many things I picked up on the second time that I missed on the first. After seeing it once, I suspected it fell somewhere in between the original triology and the prequels, but after the second I feel the only thing keeping me from saying it is the best of all Star Wars films is nostalgia.

Saw it for the first time tonight. I felt there might have been too much nostalgia at times. At times the movie literally delves into a similar plot line to a previous film, but there was enough new twists added to make fun for everyone.

My only real complaint is I was able to correctly guess part of the ending about 30 minutes into the film. Maybe I've seen too many Star Wars films, and it became natural for me, but sometimes I wish they would do things that weren't too obvious.

On that note, I did enjoy that this was sort of a reboot with a twist, and that they left a lot of unanswered question for Star Wars VIII. Problem is, we'll have to wait through 2 years to get to it.

Good news is it's only 17 months until VIII, and a year until Rogue Squadron.

Saw the movie last night and it was amazing. Got hit right in the feels by that one scene. Wil go watch it again!

Rogue One, sincerest apologies.

Agree with the majority: I loved it! Saw it Saturday in Atlanta at the IMAX 3D. It was all I could hope for and more. Made me feel like a kid again. It's taken me a few days to process the spoiler, which I had a bad feeling would happen. It took watching ROTJ last night to get me thru the stages but it's resolved (wish I was joking but I think I was in shell shock) and I'm ready to see it again...tonight!

Yeah, I hated that I was able to guess the major spoiler during the movie, but I actually thought it was a good way to go about that.

Seen it twice now. Still enjoyed it the second time.

I'll shoot you a PM. I found a download and reg hack. It crashes a lot, but I have it running on Windows 10. (RS 3D)

As for the movie. Loved it. Can't wait to see it again, and will definitely be seeing Rogue One and Ep 8 in theaters.
