    1. not that I especially liked it but it seemed like a sensible continuation.
    2. yes.
    3. yes.
    4. yes.
    5. no. in addition to being reused (again!) it was just poorly presented top to bottom.
    6. more Phasma. more of Rey's history. more ship types.
    7. yes. good cliffhanger.
    8. Rey's intro on Jakku up to the First Order attack.
    9. Starkiller's superweapon. lifting everything to do with straight out would've been an improvement
    10. good voice. CG could've been better. i had actually hoped he was a Naga type creature.
    11. worthy.
    12. she's great.
    13. maybe slightly. mostly seemed plausible enough.
    14. First Order is fine. Resistance still feeling like a ragtag band of motley freedom fighters was a headscratcher.
    15. not that much but it was nice to honor Star Wars' history of space monsters
    16. Han's death
    17. yes.
    18. better.
    19. no.
    20. BB-8. if droids don't count, Rey.

    1. Yup, I prefer it this way. Han and Leia both seem to have independent spirits. Never thought they were a good match.
    2. Yup
    3. Yup
    4. Sure did
    5. Indifferent, it wasn't part of the central story being told. Wouldn't complain about something a bit more inventive though.
    6. Rey wielding a lightsaber. I prefer to keep my expectations to a minimum.
    7. Yup. Don't want to cram everything into one movie.
    8. Rey igniting Luke/Anakin's saber.
    9. Any scenes with Leia. I thought her dialogue was cheesy tbh.
    10. Nope.
    11. The raw ferocity was great. I like the duels to have that weight. No frolicking about.
    12. Meh
    13. Nope, TFA is a soft-reboot, I'm totally okay with the rules of space magic being adjusted. I don't invest heavily in the whole - gotta send em off to Jedi school to get trained
    14. Yup, just a backdrop for the character introductions.
    15. I didn't have a problem with it, better than senate hearings at any rate.
    16. uuuh, I kept up with spoilers
    17. Yes. Good not great.
    18. Far better
    19. Nope.
    20. Rey

    1. Are you ok with Leia and Han not being together after ROTJ ?
    Didn't bother me- I'm not not okay with it, I suppose? Not surprised by it, either.

    2. Were you ok with Han's death in this one ?
    It's sad to see him go, but a necessary sacrifice.

    3. Did you feel Kylo Ren was well developed villain ?
    Yes.

    4. Did you like the characters of Rey & Finn as the hero leads in this one ?
    Sure did!

    5. Were you okay with Starkiller Base aka Death Star 3.0 ?
    I mean... would I have preferred something else? I don't have any better ideas. But we've seen it a lot now.

    6. What do you want to see more of in Episode 8 ?
    Kylo and Rey. Prolly mostly Kylo. :p

    7. Were you cool with Luke being in it for 20 seconds ?
    20 seconds was enough to end it on a good note!

    8. What was your favorite moment in TFA ?
    Mmmm.... the duel..."I'm not finished with you yet!" (although I don't like outcome).

    9. What was your least favorite moment in TFA ?
    Not...really...anything. Maybe part of the duel with Kylo and Rey. It's cuz I'm a grudgey lil' person tho.

    10. Did you think Snoke was terrible ?
    No. Not enough to really develop an opinion.

    11. Did you feel the lightsaber battle was as good as the other previous movies ?
    I enjoyed it as much.

    12. How did you feel about the Maz character ?
    I react positively to her.

    13. Was Rey too powerful?
    Yes. I think the execution just didn't settle with me.

    14. Were you ok with the same elements of Rebels vs. Empire being used in this one (First Order vs. Resistance) ?
    Didn't bother me.

    15. Did you enjoy the Rathtor monster scene ?
    Sure, not really much to it.

    16. What was the most surprising moment for you in TFA ?
    I knew it was coming-- but still; Han. My imagination didn't do it nearly as much justice as seeing it.

    17. Did you enjoy John Williams score ?
    I still enjoy it immensely!

    18. Did you like TFA better , equal or worst than the prequels ?
    Better.

    19. If you could erase this movie and let Lucas do his seventh episode - would you risk it ?
    EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

    20. Who was your favorite new character ?
    Kylo. All. The. Way.:kylo::kylosaber:

    1. Are you ok with Leia and Han not being together after ROTJ ?
    - Yes, makes perfect sense for their characters.
    2. Were you ok with Han's death in this one ?
    - Yes, shot wonderfully and again made sense for the characters involved.
    3. Did you feel Kylo Ren was well developed villain ?
    - Yes, one of the standout roles for me and a very very well developed one.
    4. Did you like the characters of Rey & Finn as the hero leads in this one ?
    - Yes, both are very likeable and well acted.
    5. Were you okay with Starkiller Base aka Death Star 3.0 ?
    - NO! Basically the only thing from the movie which I look at negatively, I wasn't alright with Death Star 2 and I'm not ok with number 3. I would of been completely fine if they simply broke the "gun" thing and not destroyed the entire planet.
    6. What do you want to see more of in Episode 8 ?
    - STORY! Now that we have developed characters theres no excuse for not having an original story.
    7. Were you cool with Luke being in it for 20 seconds ?
    - Yes, as I'm sure he'll have a bigger part in Episode 8.
    8. What was your favorite moment in TFA ?
    - Rey/Finn vs Kylo. Very emotional and well written duel, no over the top choreography. Simply a pure fight.
    9. What was your least favorite moment in TFA ?
    - The Rathtar scenes.
    10. Did you think Snoke was terrible ?
    - Nope.
    11. Did you feel the lightsaber battle was as good as the other previous movies ?
    - One of the best for me.
    12. How did you feel about the Maz character ?
    - Definitely need to know more about her, her background etc. But she was pretty good overall.
    13. Was Rey too powerful ?
    - NO! I'm pretty sick of this argument to be honest.
    14. Were you ok with the same elements of Rebels vs. Empire being used in this one (First Order vs. Resistance) ?
    - Indifferent.
    15. Did you enjoy the Rathtor monster scene ?
    - No. It was bearable for the first few minutes and then it went a bit too long and meaningless.
    16. What was the most surprising moment for you in TFA ?
    - I went in spoiler free so definitely Kylo being Han/Leia's kid, as I thought Rey would be.
    17. Did you enjoy John Williams score ?
    - It was OK. Reys theme being the standout.
    18. Did you like TFA better , equal or worst than the prequels ?
    - Much much much much much much much much much much better.
    19. If you could erase this movie and let Lucas do his seventh episode - would you risk it ?
    - No chance in hell.
    20. Who was your favorite new character ?​
    - Gotta say either Kylo or Poe.

    No, not if he's a LOTR character.

    No, but it was certainly better than Vader/Obi-Wan in ANH.

    1. Are you ok with Leia and Han not being together after ROTJ ?
    Yes, this happens to even the strongest relationships. It felt real.

    2. Were you ok with Han's death in this one ?
    Yes, because Harrison didn't phone it in, really played to his strengths as a great actor, and comitted to the role. When it came to it, I was ready.

    3. Did you feel Kylo Ren was well developed villain ?
    Probably the best since the Emperor and Vader.

    4. Did you like the characters of Rey & Finn as the hero leads in this one ?
    Most certainly. Their chemistry was great, the humor was fantastic, and their martial skills are convincing.

    5. Were you okay with Starkiller Base aka Death Star 3.0 ?
    Only real lame part of the movie

    6. What do you want to see more of in Episode 8 ?
    Luke.

    7. Were you cool with Luke being in it for 20 seconds ?
    Yes. His performance and appearance were the epitome of "What is understood, need not be discussed". It was powerful, and I did feel his presence in the background of the whole movie.

    8. What was your favorite moment in TFA ?
    The duel.

    9. What was your least favorite moment in TFA ?
    .Hux saying fire really awkwardly. lol.

    10. Did you think Snoke was terrible ?
    No, Andy Serkis was great.

    11. Did you feel the lightsaber battle was as good as the other previous movies ?
    I feel it's second only to ESB. THE BRUTALITY

    12. How did you feel about the Maz character ?
    "I like that wookie." She reminds me a lot of this older woman I know, who comes to my band's shows. So I like her. She's kind of.....over it a little bit, tired of all these kids asking for things but still sweet.

    13. Was Rey too powerful ?
    Not really.

    14. Were you ok with the same elements of Rebels vs. Empire being used in this one (First Order vs. Resistance) ?
    Yes.

    15. Did you enjoy the Rathtor monster scene ?
    I enjoyed Han's part in it, but it was just average.

    16. What was the most surprising moment for you in TFA ?
    Kylo's tantrums, and when he sliced Finn up the back. He was so unstable.

    17. Did you enjoy John Williams score ?
    Yes, I feel it's weaker than most of them, but I did love the new bits.

    18. Did you like TFA better , equal or worst than the prequels ?
    Better, but only slightly so than Revenge of the Sith. Better than ROTJ for me though as well.

    19. If you could erase this movie and let Lucas do his seventh episode - would you risk it ?
    Not.....not really..

    20. Who was your favorite new character ?
    Finn. It's become Finn.

    1. Yes.
    2. God yes.
    3. Best villain in star wars since Vader. So yes.
    4. Yes.
    5. No.
    6. More new ships, not just old ones, would love to see some dark side training.
    7. Yes. He wasn't needed and would be a distraction.
    8. Hans Death Scene, beautifully made and Adam Driver sold it.
    9. The Rathars, boring scene all together.
    10. I didn't get enough of him to form an opinion, i would have liked something less "emperor palpatine".
    11. Better than most, top 3 (ESB and ROTJ as well)
    12. She was fine. Not blown away.
    13. No, i still don't believe what she accomplished was that much more than anything done by Luke or Anakin in their first movies. Either way i like that the force is mysterious once again and not quantifiable through midichlorians + training = x
    14. I wouldn't have minded more originality in the plot it doesn't bother that much me as i don't see the plot being important in this movie, it's all about the characters.
    15. No.
    16. Kylo Ren being drawn towards the light, felt fresh and new.
    17. Probably the least memorable of the all 7 movies scores.
    18. Better.
    19. No, definately no.
    20. Kylo Ren

    1. Are you ok with Leia and Han not being together after ROTJ ?

    Yes.

    2. Were you ok with Han's death in this one ?

    Narratively, yes. Emotionally? I'm triturated.

    3. Did you feel Kylo Ren was well developed villain ?

    Yes, the best in the saga.

    4. Did you like the characters of Rey & Finn as the hero leads in this one ?

    Yes.

    5. Were you okay with Starkiller Base aka Death Star 3.0 ?

    No. It was reductive rather than reflective.

    6. What do you want to see more of in Episode 8 ?

    Luke Skywalker. Lightsabers. Knights of Ren.

    7. Were you cool with Luke being in it for 20 seconds ?

    Yes.

    8. What was your favorite moment in TFA ?

    Tie Fighter escape.

    9. What was your least favorite moment in TFA ?

    Rathtar chase.

    10. Did you think Snoke was terrible ?

    I thought he was poorly designed. The vocal performance, however, I did enjoy.

    11. Did you feel the lightsaber battle was as good as the other previous movies ?

    Second only to Empire.

    12. How did you feel about the Maz character ?

    She should have been a puppet.

    13. Was Rey too powerful ?

    Arguably, yes. She could perhaps have drawn with Kylo Ren, leaving Chewie in the Falcon to send Kylo, wounded and fatigued, scuttling back into the woods to avoid another blaster scorch.

    14. Were you ok with the same elements of Rebels vs. Empire being used in this one (First Order vs. Resistance) ?

    Yes.

    15. Did you enjoy the Rathtor monster scene ?

    No.

    16. What was the most surprising moment for you in TFA ?

    Ewan's cameo. (As a corollary, Daniel Craig's cameo, which I did manage to spot, was also amusing.)

    17. Did you enjoy John Williams score ?

    I found it serviceable.

    18. Did you like TFA better , equal or worst than the prequels ?

    I thought it was cinematically superior to the prequel trilogy.

    19. If you could erase this movie and let Lucas do his seventh episode - would you risk it ?

    No. I'd rather his treatments leak to the internet in a decade or two.

    20. Who was your favorite new character ?

    Poe Dameron. With the passing of his first gag I knew we, the fans, would be all right.
