    I have a 5 year old who loves star wars, even though he can’t really follow any stories. He just likes spaceships and lasers. Will this be too much for a little kid who’s really only seen the original 3? Too much as scary scenes or things like that?

    @mace1229 tough call. Maybe go see it yourself and make the decision.

    Saw it today. Good but certainly not great.

    Liked where the final scene was and the final shot.

    This weekend we rock Portland

    i would say no, it is rated PG-13 . Agree with McGruff in seeing it first then decide.

    Yeah, i think there are frightening parts for a 6 year old.  A bit of death.

    It’s not the violence that’ll do him in; it’s the boredom.

    Traveling this week for Christmas but already have tickets to see it again next Sunday. Looking forward to it and curious to see how it holds up on a second viewing.

  • I saw it yesterday and man I LOVED it!!!

    This was a fantastic movie.  One thing wasn't to my liking but that is minimal.

    When do we lift the "no Spoiler" tag and get to chat about this movie?

    Loved it loved it loved it.

    Hot damn loved it.

    I wasn't sure if people had a chance to watch it yet so didn't want to ruin anything.

    So if y'all are ready to chat man, I am all game for that!

    That Ben/Han scene killed me.  I was definitely a little misty eyed.

    Initially I thought it was Luke talking to Ben. Then I saw Han and was shocked.

    Almost every fan theory that I read about since the last one wound up on the screen. How fucking lazy do you have to be? They took the Game of Thrones approach and just let the fanboys write the story for them. 

    I liked that they at least kept the Ben and Rey connection from The Last Jedi

    But I was pretty damn bored just watching all the bad ideas I read on the Internet happen on the screen. 

    The kids liked it, though, and that’s really who these movies are for.

    Chewy should’ve stayed dead.

    No way Chewie should've died.

    I didn't read, worry about, nor stew in any fans' theories, so maybe that's why the movie was somewhat enjoyable to me?




    SPOILER BELOW
    And yes, kind of a cop-out having Chewy die, then conveniently have a grasy knoll transport who made it out.  Same as the Leia 'death' in TLJ.  Chewy's capture really wasnt necessary, no?

    I didn’t read anything so I was pleasantly surprised.
