Saw it. Loved it. Pretty much everything. I agree its for the Star Wars fans that will paint figurines, or spend hours playing Battlefront.
I honestly wasn't expecting everyone to die until the first few started to go. I thought that was good. Gave a real vibe that people died to stop this thing, and did so knowingly and gladly. When we watch real war films, it affects us more because we know it happened. Very difficult to recreate that setting in a fantasy world IMO. Thought they nailed it. For me, might be my second favorite SW film if not for ANH being the first and therefore, best thing ever.
I didn't really mind the CGI Tarkin/Leia, but it left me wondering why not just recast them? Is it just because we CAN do this? I mean, they recast Solo and Lando, why not Leia and Tarkin? It was OK though.

Agreed. His best lines from the trailer weren't even in the movie. I hate it when that happens.
