I loved it! Then the following day as I thought it over, I started to find the lack of originality a bit bothering and began to nit pick as many have done here. So, I saw it again a couple of days later and was delighted to find that none of that stuff bothered me in the slightest while I was watching it and I loved it just as much the second time.

The film is not perfect and shows us very little that we haven’t seen before, but I found it thoroughly entertaining none the less. I loved the new characters (Snoke being a possible exception, not sure about him yet) and am very excited about seeing the next chapter. I just hope for some slightly more courageous writing for episode 8.
