And that's why I will watch it. As long as J.J. doesn't put a bunch of that lens flare crap in it.

What Alex said. For me, this is the first enjoyable Star Wars movie since Empire, but once the rush was over, any number of things started to bother me. Still, I look forward to the next one.

Any bets on whether the General's threat to send in a clone army was the last reference we'll have to clone armies? I hope so.

I'm with you, RStar, in not tracking the jillions of things you're supposed to keep track of. And yeah, quit it with the lens flare.

Looking forward to seeing the new movie. Hoping we can get there soon.

Yeah, I don't want to have to work that hard when watching a movie!

Saw the movie last night- wow! Sometimes they seem to have forgotten the laws of physics, but whatever. And Abrams was able to make a movie without that stupid lens flare or rotating-"camera" nonsense!!!

Didn't feel like a whole movie's worth of action, it was basically one battle, and it was kind of a redoing of the "New Hope" one, but hopefully the next one will be more storyline and this was the setup for it.

Predictably, I really liked Rey. I liked that she didn't have to have a romance storyline, and that she kicked some butt. All on her own.

I'm touch-and-go on Fin. Eh, maybe. He's believable, so that's good.

I really was glad Chewbacca was back. They seem to have made him easier to understand.

Leia seems to have lost a bit of the "steel" she had when she was younger. There was one line that demanded a command tone, and it wasn't quite there. She gave the order, but it didn't quite sound like she meant it.

Not surprised at the Han Solo storyline. Harrison Ford was *on his game* in this movie as an actor. He was fantastic.

So true. I keep having to remind myself that the Star Wars Saga is science fantasy, not science fiction.

It was something I noticed, but it didn't bother me too much. I'm used to fiction doing odd things.

If ignoring physics bothers you*, then very very very little of Star Wars should be to your liking.

Yes, because as physics goes- Newton’s Third Law of Motion states, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” This would mean Yoda would be squashed when he lifted the X-wing fighter out of the swamp. But it's easy to dismiss this because the force is something that is not from this world and doesn't need to follow physics as we know it.

I've never thought of the Force as a fulcrum.
