Star Wars 7 coming in 2015
Method of Madness:
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
(Just got back from it myself, holy shit, that was so good)

Loved the characters (old and especially new), and the story was mostly good (hit the right nostalgia notes, but felt a bit off in places), but my biggest problem was the scale. Something didn't feel right...
SPOILERS!
(click to show/hide)The whole Starkiller-base-can-destroy-planets-from-very-far-away thing. I already knew about it from some spoilers and rumors, but I assumed it would be some kind of hyperspace weapon. Instead, it fires a laser, which travels through ordinary space, somehow crosses through the system where Maz Kanata's planet is (are they in the same system? Probably not, but it sure felt like it), and destroys another planet--wait, was that Coruscant? A planet with a population of ONE TRILLION? And now it's just gone? Or was it a different planet? Not only was that unclear, but it didn't have much weight to it. Less than the destruction of Alderaan, even. At least that got a reaction from Leia when it happened. This felt flat, and with the sense of scale and distance handwaved away--almost the same problem happening with NuTrek's warp-speed transporter technology. I just hope they don't build a second base for Episode IX...

Non-spoiler thoughts: As an entertainment experience, 10/10, no question. Hardly a dull second the entire film. Effects were great, pacing was great, the score was amazing (obviously), and I almost audibly sequeled during the first few seconds. J.J. Abrams did more than just not screw it up, he brought the series back to Prequel-levels of quality and polish.
As an artistic/storytelling experience, more like a 7.5, maybe an 8. The performances were, for the most part, great. I do have some minor quips about plot, but I can't go into them because of spoilers and I don't want to cause anyone to die from geek overexposure by mentioning the expanded universe.
The point though, is that is an absolute must see, and I am filled with nerd-excitement right now.

This is all I have to say for now.
IT WAS GOOD!!! IT WAS FREAKING GOOD!!! LORD ALMIGHTY IT WAS FREAKING GOOD!!!
