    Seriously? Spoiler tag people come on. This is a review thread, I am sure there are plenty of other, perhaps spoiler tag, threads you can discuss what Luke is up to.

    I have NEVER seen so many major publications get hit with notices of breaching NCA for posting early. They are getting taken down right away but since some of the early posted reviews are up on twitter I wonder if Disney is going to crack down on who gets future Media Invitations.

    This right here. We can still have hope for Episode VIII (and I do have hope).

    There will be NO SPOILERS in this thread until Friday the 18th. This is a review thread, not a spoiler thread, thanks. ;)

    Thank you Trevor. Not sure why it's so hard for some people to use the spoiler tag.

    Now let's get back to people overreacting over fake reviews...

    I already know the range of emotion I will be in come midnight. Read a couple reviews. If its good I'll be over the moon and then if I see a bad one I'll come crashing down and over reacting to super negative land and then right back up over reacting to super positive when I see another good. Haha. Right now I'm way too pumped for this movie. I can't wait to see it.

    EXACTLY! Trevor should off topic posts on this thread start to be removed so we can clear it up so it's just full of No Spoiler Reviews? Or leave it as is for now. I don't want things to get lost in the shuffle.

    A few positive dropped early that I saw, one from Times UK giving 5 stars and the boston globe gave it 4 out 5 I believe. Both removed now. Official embargo ends at 12:01 AM PST.

    Just got home from seeing it. Work for the mouse, so that's how. Believe or not, it's fine and your call. Won't confirm or deny anything. But know that I read all the "spoilers" and remained optimistic for one reason: the way a movie is shown on screen is far different than it is described in a freaking message board post.

    The movie is a hell of a lot of fun. Laughs. Real shocking moments. Visually stunning. Such an improved script off of the prequels and what people disliked about them. I understand why some will dislike it, but I think a lot will do it out of being cynical. It made me happy again and I cannot wait for A) my second viewing with fans on Thursday and B) Episode VIII.

    My biggest key here, folks: it's part one of three. Go in to enjoy it, knowing there will be two more... don't go in searching for answers. If things you want to see don't happen or aren't answered when Star Wars 9 comes out, then you can be sad.

    WARNING: Tons of Disney employees saw it tonight and even more will tomorrow -- so warning, be careful on social media for spoilers.

    FYI, nothing we might not know, but there is a Rey spoiler at the end. If you've managed to somehow know nothing avoid the video, but those people probably aren't in this thread, haha.

    Based off everything i've heard so far - people seem a little more impressed with TFA than they were with Return of the Jedi back in the 80s. Its hits all the beats while taking us where we wouldn't expect at times.. but a couple of not-so-good things (i'm guessing the plot more than anything) prevent it from being great. So it sounds like it'll be "good enough" for almost everyone. Better than decent, the best Star Wars since the 80s.

    Again this is just my summation of all the things i've heard, not my actual opinion as i'm yet to see it.

    Do me a favor though everyone. Enjoy the feeling of excitement that you have right now waiting to see the movie. The feeling of anticipation and wonder.

    After seeing the movie today, that feeling of anticipation has gone down somewhat. I am now excited to get my video up and to see what everyone else thinks of the film. I am also VERY excited to see the movie again on Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

    But that initial anticipation, that feel is fantastic and I know ALOT of you have been feeling this for a looong time building up to you seeing the movie. It's only a few days (or a few hours away) for some. Love every second of it! We don't get this feeling too often and it feels really good.

    That being said... about 3 hours and 10 minutes to go until Embargo lifts!
