Definitely a great addition to the Star Wars saga - didn't try to shift the tone to a more comical one like the prequels did (though that's not to say there aren't bits that are funny), and no cute/silly comic relief bears or gunguns. I felt like Captain Phasma was underused, but Kylo Ren is far more fascinating than we thought he'd be. The couple of fully CG characters threw me off a little - the effects were very similar to the Simon Pegg film "Paul" on those characters, so they looked great, but they were still not quite sitting right in the scene. That's all minor nitpicks though - it's a good start to this new trilogy, and leaves plenty of room for character growth and plenty of places for the story to go.

And as for the callbacks to New Hope, I feel like that's their way of easing us back into the Star Wars universe and getting us to trust them again. I'm hoping Episodes 8 and 9 explore new areas that haven't been well worn in the franchise to date, but keep the overall feel of this one.

Kylo Ren: Alright, we'll call it a draw.
