1st Star Wars review: it was epic, awesome & perfect. The cast was stellar. JJ killed it!
— RainnWilson (@rainnwilson) December 15, 2015The Force Awakens is life. Finally, life, back in Star Wars. Warm characters that care for one another and make you care for them.

— Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) December 15, 2015Now, there had to be a couple of people not completely chugging the Kool-Aid ...
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS is a strong, promising kickoff. As a standalone, I'd rank it #3 in the series.
— Josh Lincoln Dickey (@JLDlite) December 15, 2015STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS... Sometimes fun, often fine. It had a lot to set up, and I suspect Ep 8 will be able to do more with less.
— Kyle Buchanan (@kylebuchanan) December 15, 2015Patton Oswalt, meanwhile, offered a few words of caution.
And stay off the 'net 'til Friday. 'Cause there's a bunch of #StarWarsForceAwakens shocks someone will spoil.
