First off, yes. I'm glad somebody made a topic about this since I was half-tempted to do it myself.
As far as my take, I loved the movie and it felt like a return to form. To be honest, I was worried when I first heard J.J. Abrams was the director for this movie. I absolutely hated the Star Trek reboot movies. However, I am willing to admit he did a good job with Star Wars and I am actually looking forward to Episode 8, 9 and even those side movies Disney has in store. Without spoiling anything, I'll add my voice to the choir and say go see the movie.
If you don't want to be spoiled, don't open the spoiler tag.
[spoiler]My favorite scene had to be when Ben was having another one of his hissy fits while slashing apart the base and these two stormtroopers patrol down the hall, see the debris flying out of the hall and then turn right around and patrol elsewhere. I think this is the first time in a long time we have seen smart/competent stormtroopers.
I think we also need more of that ace rebel pilot, Poe, since he can try to fill the gap left by Han Solo as the smart mouthed character. As sad as it is to see Han go out like that, I think Harrison Ford did a great job reprising his old role. And I loved how Chewbacka went berserk after Han died. A part of me thinks the wookie should have thrown an even bigger fit and left a trail of bodies between the generator and the Millennium Falcon. I like to imagine that he did it off screen which is why the emo, darth vader wannabe didn't get any backup in his fight with the protagonists.[/spoiler]
