My review of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
Saw The Force Awakens on Saturday afternoon. I don't think I need to say that you should enter at your own risk because I am giving it all away beneath the cut.
It was very enjoyable. Great action (I had to hold my sister's hand sometimes when I was too nervous). There was comic relief and some throwbacks that made me smile.
( There's been an awakening. Have you felt it? )

I really missed R2 and Threepio. I do love BB-8 but he can't replace our original droid duo.
I missed them bickering like an old married couple. I don't mind BB8 becoming their new bestie, though.
Ben Solo/Kylo Ren - That struggle he feels with the light side and his obsession with Vader
I did like how Kylo wasn't a Vader rip off. We saw he's still struggling. It's not like Vader who was totally on the dark side, very immersed in it after years of being dark.
(On the other hand - if Rey really is Luke's daughter like I REALLY HOPE SHE IS - great match. She looks like a great mix of Leia and Padmé. I could easily believe she is Skywalker.)
Don't forget she looks like Shmi too
Han and Leia. I am so sad that they separated. (Did they marry or just have a child together? Was Leia going by General Organa after they separated?) I enjoyed their scenes but my heart also ached too ( ... )

Ha! You're not the first person to say that.

I'm trying to do the math in my head. This is 30 years after RotJ. Rey must be in her early 20's, but it looks like in that flashback she is about 6 or 7? So I am thinking Han and Leia have been separated and Luke has been in hiding for about half of the 30 years.
