    Saw it this afternoon, thoroughly enjoyed it. Good new characters blending with beloved old characters. The right amount of humor in the right places, decent action sequences. When does episode 8 come out?

    May 2017 according to Wikipedia

    It was very entertaining, but some of the plot points felt like it was a remake of episode 4 rather than a new chapter. Felt a lil too been there seen that more than once before.

    But overall it was great fun, Daisy is a great find. She was very good. Liked Oscar Isaac as well, he's a good actor.
  • What's the appropriate amount of time to wait before we can start discussing the actual movie and plot in this thread?

    I'd have to say give it until mid January. At least our local theatre is booked up until the new year. Seeing it Thursday was almost a double edged sword, there're only like 3 or 4 people I can talk about it with

    May also be worthwhile to start a new thread with SPOILER clearly indicated in the title. Make it easy for people to avoid until they've seen the movie. Once they have they will be thankful there is a place they can go to discuss.

    Give it until 2016 to discuss plot.

    Saw it this morning (yes - we had to go to a 10:30AM show to get tickets).
    Thought it was really good. The new characters are great. It is going to be interesting to see where they go with them.

    Now we have two SPOILER threads? Can we keep this one clean for another few days at least?

    hopefully the new director, dude that directed Looper, does just as good as Abrams.

    Yeah, JJ is still producing, but the pressure is on the new director. I did like Looper though

    Oh, I've seen it....

    Twice. :blush:

    I just don't want to be the first one to actually post a spoiler, especially since there's another perfectly good thread to do that in.
