Finally got around to seeing it today.

It had some problems...but I enjoyed it for the most part. It felt a lot more like the original trilogy, which appealed to me more, as the prequels felt pretty generic to me. The less CGI the better.

I liked most of the new characters, particularly Finn and Poe. I realized pretty early that Rey was going to be a complete Mary Sue...which kinda makes me worried for the next two movies. I really don't care for perfect characters who never screw up and get power-ups for no reason...so I really hope there is more to her character than what we've seen so far.

I suppose her character is my only big gripe, which isn't big enough to keep me from watching the next movie, and probably not enough to make me post about it anywhere other than this one post on a gaming forum.

So basically she is just like Anakin and Luke. 9 year old Anakin hops in a Naboo Fighter for his first time and takes out the Droid Control Station. Luke hops in an X-Wing with no experience and shoots an unguided shot into a small exhaust port at high speed with his eyes closed. The lead characters in Star Wars are always Mary Sues. 

 

Yeah, that was also ridiculous...though it seemed like Luke and Anakin held the newbie status for a while at least. Rey just seemed like she knew everything right away. I remember thinking while watching, "Man...does this girl ever screw up?" It seemed like Finn held that status more...which is probably why I liked his character more. It seemed like there's a lot more room for character growth on his part.

That being said, it might just be that Rey is just a different character than I was expecting...just also not one I can really connect with as a viewer.
