We liked Star Wars -- a lot! It brought back the first trilogy, with Harrison Ford as Hans Solo, Chewbacca, Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, R2D2, 3CP0. Great special effects and 3D. Pretty good, if very hokey, plot. (how did Rey know how to find Luke Skywalker?)

I enjoyed it. Frankly the motivation I had for watching this movie had nothing to do with the plot and more to do with the fact that because of the graphics, it was something I wanted to see on the big screen. Also, I forgot how much I love Chewie.

Also, that's one of those things that Star Wars always glossed over... arrive at a new planet, and know exactly where to go? How did Luke find Yoda?
I loved the movie!

I thought it was funny that George Lucas, after selling his franchise for $4B, and selling countless re-releases, toys, hundreds of Expanded-Universe books and comics, TV shows, costumes, more toys, and more re-releases...
... complains that the new one was too commercial.
