I've seen it. It was good. Not Empire Strikes Back good, but good nonetheless. The new protagonists are very likeable. One of the film's strengths is its visual narrative. A lot of emotion comes down to facial expressions, chemistry between characters and certain techniques that were used to drive the narrative forward as opposed to stilted expository dialogue. I did have a few problems with the script though. Not everything was as subtle as it could have been. There were a few other problems I'm not gonna go into any further right now, because spoilers, obviously. Overall I really liked it though. The movie got the most essential thing about Star Wars right: You need to be able to care about the characters, they have to be endearing/relatable. And on that it delivered.
