Going to see it in ten minutes.  Whoot!

Saw it this afternoon. Whereas it was well done, with some appropriately humourous lines and excellent effects; it felt like the script was a creative rewrite of Episoge IV.
Any time is a good time for pie.

Well I wasn't enthralled with TFA (unlike my ex, I feel no compulsion to go see it a second time), but I enjoyed it well enough.  I'd rank it about equal with A New Hope. 

Whatever its flaws -- and it has plenty IMO -- it does feel like a Star Wars movie.  Finally.  :)

I think there's something to what you're saying there, 40Cent.  In this case, however, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.

Episode 4 as revanched by the writer of Episode 5 (Lawrence Kasdan).
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Definitely agree with 40, it felt like a post-modern A New Hope. Which I dug :)

Great. I guess that means Boba Fett is due in the next movie then. I hope the Muppets stay in a galaxy far, far away.

Don't forget Leigh Brackett and George Lucas' contribution to ESB. 

Kasdan essentially just did a polish of what they put together. 
"These men do not want a happy ship. They are deeply sick and try to compensate by making me feel miserable. Last week was my birthday. Nobody even said "happy birthday" to me. Someday this tape will be played and then they'll feel sorry."  - Sgt. Pinback

Got a hot date this afternoon, with my wife, to go see this.... finally!  :D

I am still ducking spoilers on this.  Will not be seeing it until Monday!

Yeah I've still managed to avoid every spoiler so far, incredibly.  Will see it in five days.

BanzaiCat

We were going to see it today, but the morning kind of dragged on, so maybe we'll see it tomorrow. Hopefully before we leave next weekend.
