Watched this last night. It's entertaining as a stand alone movie.
However, I cannot seem to get into these new disney episodes in the context of the Star Wars universe. But that's just me, I guess.
For me, Star Wars is Ep 4, 5 and 6 (which has a certain level of nostalgia for me, more than any thang).
I guess the fanboys and those new to the SW universe will drool at their seats.
I'm not sure about reviving old school classics (altho' having said that, I LOVED the new Blade Runner... so there's that).

I'll be waiting for the AWOL review before I decide whether to see it :-P
But really I think I've just caught most of the one before this on HBO, so I'll do the same for this one. All the star wars stuff just becomes more of the same to me after awhile. I think I did enjoy The Rogue One movie though more than whatever the other new Star Wars before this one is called.
I have still been waiting around to enjoy the new Blade Runner from the comfort of my couch ... looks like the Blu Ray comes out in a month!

... and I agree re. Rouge One! I enjoyed that. Darth Vader makes movies worth watching. This new villain is too bland and scrawny for my liking.

I'll be seeing it today most likely. My semester is over so I'll actually have time to write up a review, and there's a few others I need to add. And I promise to be vague.
I've been hearing good things about it and that it goes in some unexpected directions. I'm excited to hear this because that means the trilogy is distancing itself more from the originals.
And one last thing, I decided to listen to Williams' score (which seems better than the one for Force Awakens) and got to The Sacred Jedi Texts cue. I heard an old but familiar theme that pretty much confirmed a moment I predicted anyway. So it wasn't really a spoiler for me, but I would definitely say don't listen to that cue.
