They got pretty much everything right on this one. The mood and the tone were there, there were tons of action, lots of humour, bad lines here and there.
After watching, I am pretty sure Rey is definitely from the Skywalker bloodline. She was pretty much what Luke was in A New Hope.
I didn't expect Han Solo to be the Obi-Wan Kenobi of this film, though. Really didn't expected that.
His demise, on the other hand, was expected. Ford is old and he always wished Solo would die an spectacular death in Star Wars. He got what he wanted.
See Solo, that is what happens when you don't just shot and let the other guy take action.
And he was wrong about the whiny brat kid of his. There wasn't too much Darth Vader on him. He has way too much whiny Anakin Skywalker in him instead.
Loved it. Can't wait to see it again.
