I'm not going to NOT say spoilerish stuff, so if you're in here, shame on you... but just incase.

Just got home... Diane went with me. The kids won't be home from college till the weekend and Josh I figure would rather see it with them than alone with me haha.
Very good. Some questions in my mind though, and some "meh" moments (I won't lie, it has moments that are just devoid of reason, or at least at this point they are... could be answered shortly, like in 2 years).
I'm with Hemish on Phasma... She, basically, is Boba Fett would be my analogy... Hell, he even shoots. So yeah, that was really odd.
The humor was a LITTLE much at times, but when Han was in it, it was always good. Finn's definitely got some future with the humor though. Nothing is PT level humor though, it's all far better.
I'm perplexed on how Finn knew how to use a lightsaber. I'm also perplexed on his future/role...
Poe's as well. He's like Wedge if Wedge had a ****load more to do than in the original 3 films.
Diane and I had actual debate on Rey's heritage since they spill the beans so early on Renn's heritage.
Overall I really enjoyed it, and I really will look forward to seeing it again. Probably Saturday barring physical probs.
I saw in 2D... 3D Saturday, and I've had some neurological problems since early Summer, and I've had a bad go of it just this last couple weeks, so 3D is kind of scaring me. I made it through 2D fine but a bad headache at the end.
The pace was fast and felt like it was wanting to get a LOT in. Like I'm feeling as though there's a good deal more that is cut from this film. I also felt like they were trying hard to give a lot of OT nods throughout which is fine, but don't try TOO hard, and I'd be ok seeing less of that in the next film.
I had a blast though, lots of fun, and am anxious to watch again.
Hugs to Jeff. He'll need them, I'm sure.
