Let me first say that i'm very likely one of the biggest Star Wars fan on this side.. Since I saw the original trilogy as kid.. I have used much time thinking on future movies.. and played most of the star wars games, and read most comic.. and just waited and hoped that Lucas would make more

Then the prequels was anunced.. I saw all three at the premiere.. and even though there was a litle iritations whit the first (Jaja and the big fish eaten by bigger fish.. eaten by bigger fish) I liked Phantom Menace from first moment.. in the next to (Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith) I was even more blown away.

And then I saw Force awakens.. And I was.. to put it nice.. Very disappointed.. The movie startet a place I did not expect.. The galaxy was under the dark force controll.. and I got no bagground story, as to why that hapend.. also things like "The Resistance".. why not call them "The Alliance".. And offcourse Rey.. that somehow is almost stronger than a man that not only is Leias kid.. but also got training in both the light and dark side of the force.. There was more that for me didnt ad up.. Other things that proberly ad to the negative felling.. was that I saw it in 3d.. and me and my brother had some beers before.

Then last night I saw it again (3 times) and not in 3d.. And I liked it much more.. most of the things I had seen as plot holes.. was or could be explained.. and also becourse I somehow had accepted the story.. I think it is a perfect setup for the next movie.. And i changed from not like it.. to totally ok and JJ did a good job.

Others that have had that.. "thats actually a good movie" moment.. when they saw it second time..?

OK, it's fair to question ability with the force for a noob vs someone who's been trained in both the light and dark. But to suggest a woman can't be inherently stronger in the force than a man because of her gender is simply ridiculous. Is there evidence in the SW-verse that the force is typically greater in males than females? Seems to me like the wider SW-verse suggests there's no gender difference. And of course a noob can be stronger in the force than a trained Jedi/Sith they just lack the discipline / skill to weild it. We don't know Rey's parentage so merely because Kylo is the son of Leia and grandson of Vader does not make is impossible for Rey to be inherently stronger in the force. There's speculation that she's Luke's daughter (I don't believe it myself), which would mean that she inherited force powers from the stronger of Vader's children, hence she should be stronger in the force than Kylo.

That said, I found TFA to be a let down, simply being a re-skin of a New Hope. I am hoping for much better things in ep 8. I didn't much like any of the New Trilogy, however I did enjoy the Clone Wars TV series. I am a serious Ahsoka Tano fanboy, and not just because she's hot.
