I can finally add my two bits:
Things I love:
- The X-Wing shot.
Thinks I like:
- The Falcon shot. I don't understand the person or people who are saying it feels weightless. I almost felt like I was falling with the thing when it plunged downwards.
- The snowy forest.
- The Chrome Troopers and all the designs that look familiar, but updated.
Things that I neither liked nor disliked:
- The Tatooine shots.
- The lightsabre. I didn't think it was too bad. I'm hoping this isn't going to be another Sith vs. Jedi movie, though.
Things I disliked:
- The rolling droid. It felt goofy, but no more than the mouse droids in ANH, I guess.
- The possibility that we're going to be seeing Sith again.
Overall, it doesn't have me jumping up and down, or hugely disappointed. I'm adopting a wait and see attitude.
This is the first movie I have ever actively awaited in my life, or watched the trailers for as soon as they came out, so watching things progress and waiting is fun in itself.
