Thoroughly enjoyed this movie…more than the first two and would place this ahead of ROTJ…

I also watched TPM last night just to compare…well, no comparison. No emotional response, feeling bored, cringe worthy scenes etc

As to TROS, the big problem with the movie is the lightning quick edits that represent a need to cut the run time at the expense of fleshing out the scene. I hope there are a lots of deleted scenes in the BR release or even an extended edition (crosses fingers). The emotions I felt watching this were surprisingly strong and compare to watching ANH and ESB for the first time. Abrams does get SW in that respect and is likely the reason the audience score is so high as compared to TLJ (which I also liked).

I will be back with more thoughts later.
