Worthy sequel?

Truly.

I'll probably hold off on discussing too much until most people have had a chance to see it themselves, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I remember back when I was a kid...my first non-disney movies were the special edition theatrical runs of the original trilogy. My parents, in a rare bout of good sense, kept me from any spoilers, though it helped that I was very young at the time and wasn't a computer head. Other than the trailers, which have been good about not spoiling anything, I've avoided all knowledge of the new movie so far.

Agreed. I watched it with some friends, but I think I would have enjoyed it more alone.
I just hope Disney doesn't screw it all up somehow.

It's my new favorite star wars movie.
Been around this forum for over 8 years now. Everyone I've known has left, now it's my time to do the same.

I just watched it today and it met my expectations. Everything was a bit too predictable for my tastes though.

Well, for everyone guessing who Rey's parents are, I can tell you that Disney through Disney Infinity 3.0 has accidentally revealed who she really is.

I just got back from seeing it with some family, I'll put a bit of the discussion we had after here:
Spoiler!
1. Han Solo dying made sense for the movie; of all the original trilogy characters to go, he made the most sense because Ford wanted Solo killed off in Return of the Jedi, and now they don't have to pay him 5 million per movie to play the part

2. It felt like the plot was a bit rushed; 3 people who had never seen each other before coming together and almost instantly having this working, "I've known you for years" synergistic relation? C'mon.

3. Kylo Ren was a bit "hypocritical"; He's supposed to be powerful (he can stop a blaster bolt - pure energy) and have formal training, yet puts up too little a fight against Fin, who had never had training with a lightsaber and who had earlier almost had his butt kicked by a guy with a stick? Why didn't he just go after him with the Force, like he did to Rhea earlier?
Overall, it was a good movie, and I look forward to the next one.

Yeah, my complaints with the movie can be summed up as, "It's New Hope and Empire smashed together with a villain and hero on an inverse power curve." I made the joke with my friends that Kylo started to go down the tubes the moment he took the helmet off while Rey is power-leveling through the runtime. She starts as a capable scavenger and ends as jedi Mary Sue.

I'll forgive the writing of Kylo since he's more consistent. Powerful and dangerous but raw and unrefined, just like his lightsaber (good theming there).
Kylo's a child struggling to match a legacy that took twenty years to develop.

Agreed on all counts. Not sure what else to put here really.
