discussion thread
I was planning to make a discussion thread which, like the GoT thread, starts with the word "spoiler-fest." Hopefully, that will suffice as a warning to all who did not see Star Wars: It's a thread where those who saw may speak freely.

One tip: make sure you don't reveal a major spoiler in the first few words of your post. A mouse hover reveals text, the first 100 characters (or some other number since I never bothered to count).


EDIT - And based on the above post, I think I'll go ahead and make that thread now.

I will agree that there's definitely story & villain issues. That's why I'd give it a 7.5/10.

With Kylo Ren as villain though (w/o offering any spoilers) I temper my criticism for 2 reasons:

1) Kylo Ren is following THE most iconic villain of all time. A villain who was fully formed at introduction.

2) In accordance with #1, we have in Kylo Ren a villain in progress. I'll give him time to become worthy of true dark side villainy.

Okay, so two things for those of you who don't want the movie completely ruined:

#1 - Do NOT open my Spoiler-Fest thread! (My intro post is spoiler-free; assume post #2 will not be.)

#2 - Do NOT Google search ANY Star Wars VII character names! (Seriously, I just Googled one—I won't say who—and if I hadn't seen the movie yesterday, I'd be really PO'd.)
