I absolutely loved it! It had minor flaws, but it was trying to do so much. I thought it had a near perfect balance of nostalgia and newness. Had it been released within 5 years of ROTJ they could have spent less time on the nostalgia, but I don't care. JJ Abrams did a beautiful job. A nod to the old and stamping this as his own but with total respect to the franchise.
Maybe once the 12 year old in me clams down I'll be more critical, but my first reaction is the one i'm going with, it was so good my eyes watered up a few times.
