I want to see the M Falcon put a whoopin on other ships. I want to see it hit speeds not other ship can touch.

I want to see a real jedi freakin kick ass on every bad guy, like not even come close to matching skills, using all kinds of jedi skills to beat opponents. I want to see warriors going at it. I'm tired of grown up movies being rated PG... if you are making a movie about good vs evil and it's involves war, sabers, guns, etc.. someone is going to die and it ain't going to be pretty.

Give Sunny (from Into the Badlands) a lightsaber. he would have finished off the Empire in a couple of weeks by himself. the fight with Vader would have been about 10 seconds and over with.

Should be interesting. I heard M Falcon got a catch can installed

Spoiler... The Falcon transforms into MegaTron and a Sharknado hits during the battle of X-wings and Ti-fighters. Just sayin, be ready for it.

1st record broken - Largest opening release day in history in every country available. The USA was $57MM alone, $72MM combined overseas for $130MM Global. About 100 other broken records, from largest IMAX revenue, largest unknown actor revenue to largest Disney revenue etc.

A real Jedi? This is what happens when Jedi meet Sith, and this is not even the rule of two Sith, so it's tame:

I agree. I saw it in IMAX 3D and it was fantastic. Will probably go again in the next couple of days.

Just went and saw it

It was so freaking good! JJ Abrams is such a genius when it comes to bringing these iconic names back and immediately making them house hold names again. Speaking of both the new Star Trek movies and Episode 7.

I was partially let down due to one particular thing the movie lacked. At least it did until the very end. If you've seen it you know what I'm talking about. Trying not to spoil it for anyone.

Other than that it was fantastic. Not as good as the original 3 but FAR better than the prequels they put out recently. It's setting up for 2 very good movies to follow.
