I think there may be a bit of a difference in ratings in the here and now - and a time in the future on when we get the dvds and watch them multiple times over the years. Should be interesting to see if anything in TFA is changed/edited for the dvd release too.
It may also change when considering how it’ll gel in with the other 2 films to come in this Sequel Trilogy…
As of now, as a standalone Star Wars film that I’ve seen twice I’d rate TFA a solid 8/10. It felt like a continuation of the Original Trilogy - and certainly felt more an actual Star Wars film than the Prequels did. The film wasn’t perfect - but neither was the OT.
Really enjoyed it 😃
