Star Wars 7.
Well, I feel like it evoked what I felt when watching the originals quite a bit better than any of the prequels managed to.
The storyline was decent, I was a little worried about the "new" bad guys just coming across as pointless etc but they actually made it work.
I quite hated the "villain" and their motivations though...we'll see...he will make you hate him.
The new generation of characters, surprisingly, I didn't mind at all.
Found the girl a touch wooden not too much though, and the guys did pretty well.

Look all in all it's not like it was a 4 or 5, but it was maybe between 4 and 6 someplace for me. Which is more that expected.

JJA has done well. I'd give it 7.5/10.
Feels like to me, Star Wars is back.

For those that have seen it, read the invisible bit under here...spoilery

I think Kylo Ren was actually a rebellion plant into the new order.
Yeah, he's done terrible things...but that could just be becoming swayed towards the dark, or also to sell his cover to the higher ups.
He displayed the ability to "read minds" or extract information, so it's not all that far fetched that he may have been able to telepathically communicate as well.
I think that scene with Solo where he at first told him
"I know what I need to do but I don't know if I'm strong enough, will you help me?" was completely genuine.
I think he either spoke into Solos mind, or perhaps he just "knew" what he was asking him to do.
People in the new order did seem to have their doubts about him right?
So he had to do something "big", and not just the ordered killing of randoms, something that will say "yep, he's the guy".
There was not much surprise, definitely no anger in Solos last moments...I mean I know, it's his son...but still.
Yes, Kylo attacks the girl too...but he is a pretty conflicted individual, and is still trying to prove himself to the higher ups...that and he did have issues with Solo taking her under his wing, I dare say some of that rage would have been true. Not to mention, she "knew" he was scared. She was potentially a threat to his cover if this was the case.
Then what happened at the end?
"It's time to take his training to the next level".
Fits in quite well with what the rebellion would want him to do...right?
That's my theory anyways.
They've Snaped him.
