I've finally completed my review! There couldn't have been a better day for it than May the Fourth! So here's the rest of my review:

This new trilogy kills the happy ending of the original one. I'll never be able to see Return of the Jedi the way I used to. It's all a lie!
Man, what a disappointment that first paragraph in the opening crawl was! Luke is the last Jedi. It's not only that the Jedi Order hasn't been re-established, Leia hasn't become a Jedi in the meantime. I so badly wanted her to be one! And I had expected the Jedi Order to have been brought back years ago. Btw, during RotJ there should still be some hidden Jedi scattered throughout the galaxy - you'd think they'd have come out of hiding when the Republic was re-established. Some old-school Jedi helping Luke train the next generation.
Also, I had hoped the Republic would be okay and Leia would be back in politics, having a high-up job. And she's a General (nice promotion) now, leading the Resistance - pretty much the same job she had in the original trilogy.

There's something about Lor San Tekka that made me think he is someone. Then I found out where that feeling came from: it's not the character who's the big deal, it's the actor! It's Max von Sydow.
Oscar Isaac has the handsome face of a classic movie star.

Oh, look at that, a droid with important information on a desert planet. Doesn't that feel familiar.

And there the bloody handprint identifies Finn. I was surprised that he really turned out to be a Stormtrooper (but that explains the lack of last name). Before I had seen the movie, I was sure he'd only stolen that armor. But he actually was a Stormtrooper, so then of course the question was why he didn't look like Jango.

Nice shuttle, Kylo, you fanboy!
Holy shit, he can fucking freeze a blaster shot! ...So I guess shooting him is not an option (unless he's unconscious or distracted).

I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I had hoped that one of the masked characters in the trailer was actually female. I'm pretty sure it was actually Phasma in particular (there was that cool shot of her walking through a corridor on Starkiller Base) who I hoped would be a woman. And fuck yeah, she is!

It seems Kylo doesn't even have to concentrate on freezing that blaster laser. The Force is strong as fuck with him. O_O

Holy shit, is Rey unafraid of heights!

There's something Jedi about her outfit, hee. And finally a female main character with a simple hairdo!
Life is hard on Jakku. I think I've read theories that Unkar Plutt is a sort of Mrs. Figg to Rey's Harry Potter, but that sounds too terrible to be true. What kind of person assigned to watch over you would treat you like that?! Yeah, okay, the Dursleys were horrible, but... but.

Aw, a Rebellion-pilot doll.
Ooh, instant bread.
And she's living inside an AT-AT, aw!

It's so nice of Rey to rescue a droid! They tend to not get enough respect.
OMG, Rey sounds so British! Yeah, I haven't watched the movie in English before.
"Classified, really? Me too, big secret." Hahaha, how meta.
That tiny bit of rolling with which BB is begging Rey to let it come with her! All the emotions we get from this little ball!

Aw, why can't that droid be a she?! If it's not an it, why is it a he?!
Rey is so nice, she's not even selling BB for 60 portions.

"Okay, stay calm, stay calm." - "I am calm." - "I'm talking to myself."

Thomas Brodie-Sangster joined the bad guys! D:

I'm glad we didn't have to wait long for an explanation why stormtroopers aren't clones.

I like that creature from whose water Poe drinks. That cute pig snout!
Aw yeah, Rey kicks ass!
Poor sad BB!
Heh, Finn just spontaneously joins the Resistance because Rey thought he's a member of it.
It breaks my heart that Luke is only a myth to her!

"Stop taking my hand!"
It amuses me how Finn is surprised by Rey not being a damsel in distress. I like that he brings some comedy in. But at the same time he's also a heroic character for making that journey to the good side. It's hard, but he stays with it.
"That one's garbage!" and then their first choice of ship blows up, leaving them with the garbage one, heh. Then the garbage turned out to be the Falcon and the people in the movie theater cheered.

"BB-8, hold on!" XD
But then BB does manage to hold on, heh.
Rey turns out to be suspiciously good at flying, she's such a Skywalker!

Hee, Rey and Finn fangirling/-boying each other.

Kylo Ren has some serious anger issues.

Rey is a good mechanic. Have I mentioned that she's such a Skywalker?
BB rolling back a bit when Finn admits he's not with the Resistance! And then looking back and forth between Rey and Finn. Such an emotive droid! ♥
That lighter thumb up!

Finn says the First Order has them, but then the relief as it turns out it's Han and Chewie!
But then the worry as I remembered that poisonous gas is streaming into the ship. Did Rey and Finn remember to turn it off before they climbed out of that hatch? But since it's not mentioned again, I guess Rey hadn't unfixed it yet or BB-8 took care of the fixing.
Rey mentioned the Kessel Run and I bet we all corrected her just like Han Solo, heh.

Ooh, bad guy with a nice Scottish accent. His face looked familiar - ha, I've seen him in The Casual Vacancy.
Kanjiklub looking rather East Asian. Not the most creative naming there.
And there's our first "I got a bad feeling about this." in the new trilogy! \o/

Haha, Snoke is huge - wouldn't it be funny if he actually turned out to be really small? His face is a bit boring (except for that impressive dent on top of his head), though - considering what creative things you can do with CGI.
I'd like to know how that hologram managed to block out light from behind it.

Hee, Finn activates the dejarik game! I was even more delighted, when I learned that they've gone to the trouble of recreating the game just as it had been left off.
It's so sad that the Jedi and the Force are still considered a myth.

Aw, I had forgotten that Han offered Rey to make her a crew member. I would have watched that show/movie.

It's so depressing that Kylo is actually feeling the pull of the light side and is resisting it. WHY, goddammit?!

Maz's look is also a bit boring. But wow, she's older than Yoda. She actually has seen the Sith when there were more of them around.
Maz asks Han who Rey is, but we don't get to see his answer, so I guess by then he knows. I swear I saw a reaction when Rey had told him her name.

Hee, BB carefully making his way down the stairs.

No wonder I was confused after I read the name of the German Obi-Wan voice actor in the credits. I wouldn't have noticed Obi-Wan's voice now either. Thank fuck for subtitles!
I'm pretty sure when I first saw the movie, I was really disappointed that Rey refused to take the lightsaber. Though it makes so much sense, considering the super psychedelic vision she's just had from touching it.

Starkiller Base is no moon. It's a fucking planet! I wonder how they managed to build a huge machine into it and how long that took.
At first I thought that beam was the Base's engine going off, that they were going to travel to the Republic's HQ before destroying it.
Whoa, not just destroying one planet, but five with one strike! At first I thought that was Coruscant getting destroyed! I was so relieved that it wasn't (but I want an explanation for why the government was relocated). And this time we at least go a glimpse of the planet before it was destroyed. Also, finally planets aren't exploding into nothing (that always bothered me about the original)!

That shot of the tie-fighters in front of the setting sun is so pretty.

I'm so sad that they've cut the scene where Leia hands over the lightsaber. Or maybe they've only shot it for the trailer, so they had a scene fitting with the voiceover?
"A good question... for another time." Yeah, that question will better be answered in an upcoming movie. I want it, I need it!

Kylo can even make people unconscious with the Force!

It took 1 hour and 20 minutes until we finally got to see Leia!
C-3PO: getting in the way of Leia and Han since 3 ABY. XD

That Finn/Poe reunion - if that scene didn't launch the ship, I don't know what will. It would be so refreshing to have the ship (if there will be one this time) not involve the female character! No need to always pair up the woman.

Haha, Chewie and the doctor!

I love Rey's afterthought "And you'll drop you weapon."!
Ugh, whiny Kylo is so much like his grandpa in that regard. Hee, I love how the Stormtroopers are backing up when they see him having a tantrum.

So Starkiller Base doesn't kill stars by firing at them, but by charging. Do they at least only use stars of uninhabited systems?

I read somewhere that Greg Grunberg's character has been given the nickname "Son of Porkins", which I love, because I also like to make connections and really, it fits so much.

After the first time I saw the movie I had totally fogotten that Admiral Ackbar was in it! I did remember seeing Nien Nunb, though. And I would have liked to see Lando or Wedge again. Oh well, there are still the other 2 movies.
As a Lost fan I recognized Ken Leung of course.

Huh, when I first watched the movie, I was sure Finn had lied about having worked in sanitation (and from everything I read I was confused how other fans believed him). Because he'd previously lied so much about his job and because we've never seen him admit to Han what his job with the First Order was, I thought he's just trying to make himself look good again. But watching it now (maybe the dub was to blame), it sounds like Finn is telling the truth. And I had been so convinced that Stormtroopers are only trained for that role.
Heh, Chewie is cold.

Hee, Stormtroopers talking about new tech, like in the good old times.
Ah, here Rey's non-fear of heights comes in handy.

"Is there a garbage chute? Trash compactor?" - "Yeah, there is. *g*"

I'm so disappointed that Leia wasn't doing much with the Force. Just sensing that thing that happens. You know, the thing I still can't refer to in a straightforward way.

I love all the ways they show the lightsabers affect the snow.
Kylo is probably gonna love his huge face scar, because he'll have something in common with Snoke.

Okay, I didn't find that exact scene, but there was another scene filmed in such a way that it made me again feel that there's an important character. A blond girl with braided buns behind Leia. Turned out she was played by Carrie Fisher's daughter.

Bryan Burk, Maryann Brandon & Mary Jo Markey, April Webster - J.J., you loyal man! And because Michael Giacchino couldn't do his usual job, he got a cameo, hee!
Oh, right, there's a David Hodges in the credits. As a CSI fan that amused me a lot.
