Just saw it and thought it was great.
Somewhat surprised how many people seem upset that they didn't shoehorn in more lineages and unnecessary connections (IMO). I really liked the directions they went with the story, and loved that they enforced the idea that the Force is everywhere and within everyone, not in specific people or bloodlines. Also thought the lines about killing the past and the reignition of the rebellion were great focal points for the franchise instead of being obsessed with lineages and politics.
Frankly I wouldn't have liked it if Snoake was someone key from the past or that Rey was Luke's kid. Its where the prequels all fell apart by forcing cameos and fanservice then falling back on politics being the driving storylines.
This was what I wanted in a new Star Wars movie.
