The poll needs a "meh" option. First showing in the theater was great. Lots of similarities to Ep. 4, but that's not really such a terrible thing. But the re-watching value just doesn't seem to be all that high for me. I think in some ways that's due to the amount of time spent introducing the new cast. Meanwhile, I think they missed out for the most part on the opportunity to introduce them through interaction with the old cast. Other than Han/Chewie, there's hardly any. And Han, well...
Spoiler for people who haven't seen it:
Han takes a lightsaber to the colon from his kid, Darth Emo at the end.

I'm hopeful for Rogue One and Episode 8. R1 should be an untold story within the existing canon, and Ep 8 should be done with the exposition setting up the new canon and able to get on with actually telling the story. Besides, the second movie's always the best in a trilogy, right?
