I was happy to have caught the episode last night. The "raining blows" line always cracks me up. 

I walked into TRU today and found a single B&W Frankenstein hanging on the pegs and after poking around I also found a single B&W Wolfman as well. Those were the only two they had, which was perfect because those were the only two I needed. These worked out a lot better for me than I initially expected. 

Also bought Leatherface for $10 off eBay.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but am I right to assume Coruscant was one of the Republic planets destroyed?

I think the MVS/Kanan theory is brilliant!

Anyone else have a small stroke before they realized Snoke was a hologram and not a giant?

That was pretty cool.  Well done special effects.

I'm kinda hoping that Snoke turns out to be the size of Yoda.

No, I think he really is THAT big. Holograms are typically the same size as people in the SW Universe, or smaller. We have never seen them bigger but I suppose it is possible. I think it would actually be cool if he was that big.

I get the First Order rising from the ashes of the Empire, but I don't quite grasp the differentiation between the Republic and the Resistance. Once the Republic was re-established, what is there really to resist? It seems as though the FO got chased out to the Outer Rim, which fits with the Aftermath storyline.

WTF was up with the lightsaber "calling" to Rey and the nutty visions she had? That was fascinating. I'm pretty sure they showed Kylo gutting Constable Zuvio in there, but I can't be sure. (Not like the guy popped up anywhere else)

I love that they are still finding weird new ways to use the Force. Stopping the blaster ray was a true Oh Snap moment, and the mind reading stuff was creepy. (Imagine if Darth Vader could have done that, no need to blow up Alderaan he would have known instantly where the Rebel hideout was from Leia)

If they had wanted to kill Phasma they would have just shot her. She will be back. I still cant believe she never took the helmet off.

The Guavians looked cool as hell. I kept wondering if the Asian guy was the dude from The Raid.

I liked the Parkman from Heroes and Miles from LOST cameos.

Terrific, not perfect, but then none of them really are. I'd love to know how much Mark Hamill got paid for those epic 30 seconds. 

I had more than a few questions but still need to let it sink in.

Daisy Ridley was effing amazing!

Wow...currently 98% positive on Rotten Tomatoes, universal critical acclaim?  Lets see if it passes the Fanboy test

The dork at Rebelscum seemed to like it.   

Its is entirely possible the movie is that good. I'm so happy these will be part of my kids' childhood experience and not those wretched prequels. At 8 and 10, they are at the perfect age, IMO.

“JJ did it,” comedian Patton Oswalt tweeted.

“It was epic, awesome and perfect,” added Rainn Wilson.

That's all I needed to know, if there was any doubt. 

At last! Worth the wait, unless they decide not to include the regular gold arm to swap out. That would be weak sauce.
