Rey was freaking awesome. Big fan of her now lol
She acted perfectly, and a really interesting character even before she realized about the force and all. Plus she was quite beautiful lol.
VERY Much surprised by Kylo Ren, in a good way. All of the emotional struggle did show off, and the guy acted quite well. Finally a sith who portrayed all the doubts he was supposed to have quite realistically and well.
Han Solo and Chewie, nothing to say it. Ford aced it, like he always did.
Finn was quite cool too.
Honestly... i was really expecting a really bad film.... i didnt like any of the trailers... but... seriously...
SERIOUSLY. Its better than Return of the Jedi, to say nothing of The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.... (doesnt reaches 3,4,5 in my opinion though).
Best parts: All from Rey... specially the interrogation scene with Kylo. But the battle scenes did feel more realistic and "dirty" than what we got before, so that was a good thing too.
Lame parts: Another super weapon, really?
Finn managing to wound Kylo in the duel... Rey beating him was awesome but believable since he was basically an apprentice as well... and had all the doubts and fears... and kinda a coward maybe... While Rey knew to fight normally too, like she showed back in the junkyard in Jakku.
But Finn wounding Kylo in the shoulder was kinda a push.
The stormtroopers new helmet. Looks bad IMO. (been saying it since i saw it in the trailers)
ANd ah.. thats it.
Most surprising though was seing Yound Odda from the Last Kingdom tv series from BBC being one of the gang leaders coming after Han Solo, lol. (the one with the accent)
