Just saw it. When it ended, the audience didn't just clap, didn't just
cheer, some of them *screamed* their approval of the movie. And happily
milled about the lobby and theatre, somewhat stunned. Yes, it's just a
Star Wars movie, and just entertainment, and almost a children's story, but
that's the point. Any movie critic putting this one down needs to find a
new line of work. It paints a larger universe with more detail and beauty
than ever on film before. And, there is a partial sci-fi explaination for
"the force" that makes it a bit more palatable to us hard sci-fi fans.
