My dad has all six movie posters framed in the basement/mancave. Sitting down there watching the game tonight it dawned on me that it would be probably the best christmas gift to get the seventh poster. Just got it off amazon, but had to pay a little extra for it to get here on time

The movie was incredible. I assume there are a few people who would have rather just been put in a theater and shown the empire strikes back, but this, believe it or not, is supposed to be a different film entirely. Every inch of it was 1000x better than anything in the prequels, and as much as i love the original movies, the new trilogy has potential to be better.

Yes, that's right, new things can in fact be better than the originals.

Im with you. I loved it!

It was a fantastic origin story for the new generation of characters, and a perfect tribute to the old ones that paved the way.

I cant wait for Episode VIII!

I get really annoyed at Abrams screen flares. One of the biggest detractors of the Star Trek movies. I'm happy to report that I've watched Star Wars twice now and didn't notice them once. So they might be in there but they dont stand out or detract from the visuals. Not like Star Trek where a static shot on the bridge is loaded with screen flares for no reason

Also, Kylo Ren is awesome

I didnt notice a single lens flare

That being said, their impact is incredibly overstated

That Miss Universe debacle is one of the most cringe-worthy things I've seen. Feel bad for both of the women.
