Me too! That would’ve been perfection. At least siblings! That was my only disappointment of the movie.
My wife and daughter are convinced he was lying to Rey in order to hide their relation: a revelation being saved for the final installment of the trilogy.
I’m pretty sure he’s right though. She seemed to confirm it with her reaction. I think the producers wanted to remind the audience that you don’t have to be of Skywalker decent to control the force. My thought is confirmed by the last moments of the film.

The best cinema reaction I've ever been a part of was Braveheart. The whole theater stood in a standing ovation at the end. It was amazing.

Thanks for the spoiler tags gents. I probably won't get out to see the new SW movie until next week.

Yes! That was so epic! I really wanted them to be siblings at that point. Going into the movie, I told my family that my theory is they’re both Han and Leia’s kids. So when they banded together, I presumed I was right (since Kylo seemingly decided to help her, and he knows who her parents are). I was like, “This is epic on so many levels!”
I really wanted him to join her and the rebellion at that point (not that I have any idea where the plot could go from there).
But then, when he asked her to rule the galaxy with him, I seriously wanted her to take his hand! I was like, “Holy crap! If Rey turns (just as Kylo said he’d foreseen), the rebels don’t stand a chance! Luke and Leia will have to bring them down!”

Just got home.......

Solid 8/10.
What a great fun adventure....nice to have something to enjoy at this moment in history. It was not mired down in darkness or took itself to seriously..... great night out with the family.

My cinema was applauding at the end...and some real genuine laughs and gasps ......

The neck beards will hate it of course....its become fashionable to hate on Star Wars again... (like the late 80's early 90's).

The only parts I didn't like....

Spoiler:

The BB-8 rescue on the ATST
The Horse Race.

Both were obviously for the kids....so its acceptable.

These Scenes kept it away from the 9/10

I watched it tonight and I really enjoyed it also. It was not what i was expecting and i think that is what made it great (IMO). i have seen every single Star Wars film on the weekend of release since 77 and this one very suprisingly probably had my favorite scene.

Spoiler:

When Admiral Holdo used the ship as at lightspeed bullet. Very cool, Badass end for someone who seemed weak, beautifully shot and left me stunned. I agree i could have done without the "Vegas" scenes and some of the BB-8 scenes.

I will go watch it again over the next couple of days

Not really sure where to begin with this movie.
I definitely have mixed feelings. There were an equal number of scenes that I thought were outstanding compared to those that I think were stupid.
Overall, I did enjoy the ride and my rating could possibly change with repeat viewing. For now it's a 7/10.

For the sake of comparison, here is how I rank the other episodes:

A New Hope = 9.5/10
Empire Strikes Back = 9.5/10
Rogue One = 9/10
Force Awakens = 8.5/10
Return of the Jedi = 8/10
Revenge of the Sith = 6.5/10
Attack of the Clones = 5/10
The Phantom Menace = Pee yousa/10

Oh my goodness, yes! Phenomenal scene! I actually caught myself holding my breath during the silence. Literally took my breath away. My jaw hit the floor in astonishment as the hair on my arms stood up.
Good call on that being the best scene! For me, it was the biggest surprise other than Yoda, whom I mentioned to my wife milliseconds before he appeared. That, shocked me. I said, “Rey is leaving Luke before she finishes her training so she can fight Kylo Ren. It’s just like when Luke left his training to fight Darth Vader, during Empire Strikes Back even though Yoda advised against it.” Instantly, Yoda was on screen, and my wife and I looked at each other with our jaws dropped.

My ranking would be close to the same as yours but i would rank TLJ over force awakens.

Not intending to start a debate, but I give Empire Strikes Back a 10/10. It barely edges out A New Hope in my top ten favorites of all time.

I agree with that. One of my all time favorite movies!

Of course, I’m also “That Guy” who likes The Phantom Menace a little more than Attack of The Clones. Somehow, for me, Episode 2 is at the bottom of that list even though I’m one of the only people I know who actually likes it... er... parts of it.

Agreed.

Here's the problem I have with that...

Spoiler:

The mission to destroy the tracking device on the mother ship just felt really lame. Finn and Rose deduced that the First Order must be tracking them during light speed. What are the chances that these two would figure this out. Then they explained their plan on how they're going to resolve it to Dameron who easily bought into their non-proven idea. The way to disable it is to board the mothership undetected, but in order to bypass all the First Order sensors they would need a code cracker. How will they find one? With the help of Maz. Oh yeah, she also happens to be in the middle of fighting for her own life as she's explaining it to them. LOL! The code cracker is on a Vegas-like setting where we see a lot of rich folks gambling their money away, money that came from the First Order for weapons (another face-palm worthy moment in the story). Instead, they end up in jail before they could get to the code cracker they were looking for. But wait...there is also a code cracker inside the same cell with them! What are the chances?!

Alas, they were all able to break free and get away on horseback, successfully outrunning law enforcement on their much superior technology driven spacecraft. Thankfully, BB-8 followed the complete stranger, the code cracker (instead of the two people he came there with) and hotwired a get-away ship. Let me insert another one here...

That entire sequence appeared to be thrown together at the last minute. As if the writers threw it in there because they felt the need to have more elements to this movie. All it really did was deviate away from the main plot and took up too much time. Similar to the pod races in Episode I.

It felt extremely, ahemmm... forced.

Glad to see someone else who appreciated the darker tone of Rogue One. For me, that movie was much needed in this franchise.
I love the story. Great writing, acting, and what they did with Vader was awesome!

For me the FA fulfilled a lot of nostalgic feelings. After 30+ years, seeing Leia, Han, Chewie, Luke, R2, 3PO, and the Falcon again for the first time was emotional.

Absolutely! I would also give ESB a 10/10 (along with ANH), but I have convinced myself that 10/10 implies a perfect movie where there are no faults and there is no such movie, in my opinion.

So basically, my 9.5/10 rating is the highest rating I will ever give any movie.

There was a lot of nostalgic feelings with FA with me also. When the falcon was 1st shown on screen out of the corner of my eye i saw my girlfriend look at me with a big smile on her face because she knew how excited i was to see that ship on screen again.
If they did not have the Mega Death Star in FA awakens it would move up over TlJ but i was a little disappointed that they did not do something different.
