Can we take a moment to appreciate how amazing the first act is? Some of the coolest moments:
>GOAT opening crawl
>That blaster shot freeze
>Poe: I'll NEVER talk!!!
>cut to next scene
>Kylo: The map is inside a BB-unit on Jakku.
>Finn and Poe bro-ing it out
>That flashback scene with Rey
>Kylo freezing Rey

I know people have issues with how easily it all seems to have happened, but I thought Rey's big force moments were really well done. Mind tricking Daniel Craig, picking up the lightsaber to fight Kylo, her big force awakening before she stomps his shit. It probably should have happened in the next film, but the actual scenes were really good and made me feel some genuine Star Wars excitement again.

Kylo stopping the blaster bolt was fucking awesome. It scaring Finn at the end was just so great

At first I hated this, but I think it might have to do with the audience in my theater, clapping and cheering at those moments.
If I rewatch it, it'll be cool

the opening crawl is written for 4 year olds. It was fucking embarrassing writing

First act had easily the worst dialogue of any Star Wars movie (excluding prequels, which are essentially noncanon)
