I've watched Star Wars before, but I have never felt the way I have about it until this year. Upon receiving my Blu-Ray collection back, I decided to watch both the trilogies in preparation for Episode 7. This coupled with the build-up made me more and more excited. And I wasn't disappointed! Watching it at Leicester Square Odeon, the atmosphere was amazing. To be in a large audience of people, laughing, whooping, and hollering together and sharing that experience was magical. I think I would like to see this film again before making any definitive decisions on it as the nostalgic element of the references to previous films caught a lot more of my attention than perhaps the film as a stand-alone story. Not that it wasn't great. There were some details that bothered me which seemed too familiar and disappointed me and reading articles and reviews has confirmed my suspicions that it was perhaps a rehashing of A New Hope. As well as watching this one again, I also want to see what my opinion will be after watching the complete new trilogy as it may actually all just fall into place!
