The Force Awakens

IT WAS GREAT!

Just as fun and exciting as Episode IV which it references more than a few times. Though I really loved seeing old friends (especially Han Solo and Chewbacca - and even Admiral Ackbar and others!) the new characters are so likeable and interesting. I hope they explore their backstories in future films - and bring 'em on!

Right, I'm going back in the holidays to see it in 3D with imhilien. :-D

I finally saw the film yesterday, and it's enormous fun. Yes, Rey is great. There was only one wince-worthy moment in the film, when they used "parsec" as a unit of time rather than of distance. :)

Yes, but they had to. In the original film, the Millennium Falcon is famous for doing "the Kessel run in 12 parsecs" and they just referenced that. It might have made sense if they used wormholes rather than hyperspace and Han was boasting about his navigation, but nope.

However this amused me (http://www.darthsanddroids.net/comics/darths0767.jpg). There was a really good one I saw on Facebook but I can't find it; I should have "liked" it. There's this though (http://img.memecdn.com/the-falcon-made-the-kessel-run-in-12-parsecs_o_1415311.jpg).

I'm glad to see that it's not just me who's annoyed by it!
