==================================WARNING: STAR WARS THE FORCE AWAKENS SPOILERS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED HOPEFULLY THIS WON'T BE SHOWN ON WIKI ACTIVITY==================================

Just got out of Star Wars. It was pretty great. Acting was good, visuals were great, lots of action, and funny sometimes. The overall story kind of took the same paces A New Hope did but I wasn't really bothered. I'm liking this new version of lightsaber fights where people are actually being hurt. Seems more realistic. Back in the old days (even the prequels) the duels were just "tap swords until someone dies". Now people are actually stabbing each other, cutting, playing dirty and whatnot. I like it.

My only gripes that I can think of off the top of my head are:

A) The last scene. They could have easily left it out and kept Skywalker's whereabouts a complete mystery until the next film. R2 randomly coming to life with the other pieces at the end and finding him immediately was a little unnecessary. Just leave it with Rei and Chewie taking off and that's it. Save some story for the next two movies.

B) Seeing Han and Chewie was cool and all, but they also brought back literally every main character as well. Leia, Luke, R2, 3PO, and even Vader sort of with the helmet. It kind of made it seem like they were relying too much on the old cast for nostalgia sake.
