Spoiler Free Impressions after sleeping on it: There is a LOT of fan service in the movie. There are a number of surprises and also some head scratchers and eye rollers tbh. I was afraid that it would all be about Rey’s parentage and it absolutely was all about that. It doesn’t undo what Rian said about them in TLJ but it also kind of does, if that makes sense. When that moment is revealed, I kinda just rolled me eyes and bit and thought, really? But in the same vein, JJ makes it work, and makes it believable. So I’m not too disappointed that it went that way. To JJ’s credit, he backs up and builds upon things that happened in TLJ in some cool ways. This movie is a lot. It doesn’t let up, very frenetic pace I felt throughout. I’ll have to see if the pace feels the same on repeat viewing. I kept thinking back to the scene in TFA where Rey and Finn are running away from the Jakku marketplace, find the falcon and such. 80% of the pacing of this movie felt like that scene. There are some genuinely creepy parts. Kids will get scared by some scenes. I had to put my phone and watch in a locked bag so I don’t even know how long it way. Well over 2 hours I think but not as long as TLJ I don’t think. The scenes where they use old Leia footage almost work. It’s like 80% of the way there. Honestly, for what they had I’m surprised it worked that well. Still just a little awkward though and you can see through the cracks. She is in there way more than I thought. Not dream sequences. Leia is an integral part of the movie for 75% of it. There are many, many good moments and scenes in this movie. I think all the actors did great in their roles, especially Adam Driver. 7/10 - some glaring narrative problems and Uber fans will probably hate it. Some on Reddit already do. If you’ve read leaks they are 100% true apparently. I didn’t read any ahead of time. A satisfying but by no means perfect conclusion to this saga. Will definitely see it again this weekend. Hope you all enjoy it.

I think this will end up in the 70’s on RT. I enjoyed it but there are some problems with it narratively and some major leaps to explain stuff. Also, I got to be on the “red” carpet in my executioner trooper, got a photo with JJ Abrams and shake his hand, I exchanged pleasantries with Josh Gad as we both entered the men’s room, Merry and Pippin were 3 rows behind me, as was Snap Wexley. I was within 5 ft of Spielberg at one point, was in the Dolby theater two rows back so got to see the presentation pre-show up close and personal. What an incredible experience!

Huzzah for giving! -
You are correct. I believe they were called “grabbity gloves” in some of the leaked info.

My trek to 5500 has been fine so far. I don't expect to actually get to Legend rank but got to Fabled on reset going 8-5. If hitting fabled for Recluse/Luna's/Mountaintop is your goal there has never been an easier time to do it. I'm completely average in PvP and got there easy. I played a few more matches yesterday and am ~2600 now. If you are ever curious about what glory your opponents are at, look yourself up on guardian.gg You can see your old matches and check the profiles of your opponents. I've been matched with 5500 legend players and 0 glory kinderguardians. Bungie announced this morning that they made some skill adjustments so hopefully there will be less variables now.

I never played the original either. Excited to try this, as is my 9 year old. I've never seen him more excited for a game.
