My son's birthday present for me that he gave me a week before Xmas was an AMC card for the Star Wars Movie.
Last week we were out of town, and then this week continued going to the "Silver Sneakers" old people exercise class, and afterwards every day going to pick out materials for a bathroom remodel later this month.

Finally, the wife and I got a date tomorrow to see it and the comments have been encouraging!

But, since this a gun site : rifle range time outdoors Friday at MCF&G again!

Saw it today.
I tied to have no expectations after what I read but I still left thinking, "Is that it?"
The wife liked it better than I did.
I probably will like it better when I see it again when it hits Redbox now that all my expectations have been dashed.

I thought that Season 1 & 2 I just saw Xmas week of the Star Trek, "Discovery" on CBS "All Access" during at my daughter's was a great example of good writing and visuals, not perfect but with a believability about it (for science fiction it can stretch and can be fun, but it has to have a "realness" about it as evidenced by the dialogue and interactions: nothing can replace good writing.
Over a dozen years ago, I read every book in the Star Wars genre at the time (about 20) one summer and some of them were great, some good, some OK, but it was a fun summer.
They really fleshed out the earlier version of Star Wars magnificently.

saw it over break, kinda mixed on it. As a shallow, shiny, actiony, sci-fi flick it does fine. as Star Wars cannon and a quality movie... eh, as others have said, disney/JJ kinda did their own thing.

My just-turned-7 daughter was so into it she wiggled a loose tooth out. mid-movie: "mommy hold this." "what.... oh"
