As you may have heard, a little movie called Star Wars: The Force Awakens had its red carpet premiere Monday night (some art house thing, I think I’ve heard), which means that the first reactions have finally started surfacing online. And so far, the response has been… good. Very, very good. And being that the majority of fans won’t get to see the newest installment in the Star Wars franchise until this weekend, for the most part, people are even keeping their wits about them and not dropping spoilers left and right. (In other words, you won’t find any here.)
Here’s what everyone is saying so far, if you’re not already hyped enough as it is:
JJ did it. #StarWarsForceAwakens

I honestly can't imagine anyone being disappointed by #TheForceAwakens. Disney delivered the Star Wars film we've been waiting 30+ years for

Not going to say much till I see it again but rest assured THE FORCE AWAKENS is the best STAR WARS since 1983…maybe 1980.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens spoke to my every emotion. Most of them good, a few not, but overall it was an amazing, overwhelming experience

Among its many wonderful qualities, STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS passes the Bechdel test.
