יממה לקראת יציאתו של הסרט “מלחמת הכוכבים: הכוח מתעורר” לאקרנים, התכונה היא רבה.
המעריצים המושבעים בהחלט היו חלוקים ביחס לגירסת האקשן שעשו ג’יי ג’יי אברהמס ודיסני ממורשתו של ג’ורג’ לוקאס לאחר שהמותג נמכר ללוקאס בארבעה מיליאר דולרים.
הקרנת הבכורה החגיגית של הסרט נערכה בסידני, אוסטרליה, ביום חמישי האחרון, תחת מעטה כבד של חשאיות, אך לפני שעות אחדות הסתיימה הקרנת הבכורה בלוס אנג’לס והרשמים של הקהל היו בעיקר חיוביים (“הרבה פרצופים מחייכים”):

Rest easy: #TheForceAwakens is 100% #StarWars, and something new. Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac: welcome.

And without spoiling it, I can say that #StarWarsForceAwakens has the BEST final shot of any Star Wars film. Wow.

From comedy to costumes, fights to fx to overall feel, J.J. Abrams has created a thoroughly old-fashioned movie #StarWarsForceAwakens

#ForceAwakens might be the best blockbuster since the original.

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS is ok. I know it’s poetry, I know it rhymes, but does every line have to rhyme with the last poem?

Star Wars: The Force Awakens spoke to my every emotion. Most of them good, a few not, but overall it was an amazing, overwhelming experience
