I saw the movie on December 28th. Some of you who saw it will understand how the ending creeped me out a bit and made me more sad than the storyline would have done by itself. It just took me by surprise. It was sad yet strangely hopeful.

I thought it was a great movie. I enjoyed that it wasn't cookie cutter open style ending, and now that the franchise is owned by Disney, this movie was surprisingly dark in nature. Not everyone lives happily ever after, and unlike every Star Wars movie ever made, this one has closure.

The movie was very Star Wars in feel, and even beyond the obvious there's connections made everywhere to the rest of the Star Wars universe.

Anyway, I highly recommend it. I'd like to see it again.

ps. The robot was funny without insulting our intelligence. Unlike in Episode II, when C3PO was getting dragged along and he said "Oh, this is a drag." I heard that and I knew it was time for George Lucas to F'n retire.
