Episode VII (spoilers)

[Anomalocaris]

So. Many. Plot. Holes.

Otherwise I'm a blind fanboi so I loved it anyway. Kind of like religious people or people who use Apple products.

It *felt* like the original trilogy, so that made me happy.

It didn't feel it had the heft of any of the original 3 movies.

Movies 4-6 felt like a teenager's sci fi fantasy written by an adult.    7 felt almost like a preteen sci fi fantasy written by a teenager.

As far as story goes, even episold 1-3 had a lot more heft.  The main thing that made this movie more watchable then episolds 1-3 is Daisy Ridley actually put on a strong performance even though her character lacked even the emotional depth of Luke Skywalker in episold 4.  

The Fin character, as a man trained from birth to be a regimented killer but who found his conscience, also had an enormous potential that was left virtually totally unexploited.  

I think unlike Natalie Portman, Daisy Ridley has the ability to carry the entire trilogy with her acting if only given just the barest passable script.  Also she does a far better primal snarl than Hayden Christiansen, adam driver, or Ian Mcdiarmid.   Which sets her up ideally for an struggle against an inner demon resulting from a harsh orphaned upbringing, pulling her to the dark side, not just lust for power (Kylo ren) or a inner indiscipline coupled with evil temptation from without (Luke and anakin).    Let's hope JJ Abrams and his Disney cronies won't ruin her career before it started, like Lucas almost did with Portman's.
