That said, I'm actually happy that I read them and researched it because it will make Thursday night's viewing even more enjoyable.

Spoiler!

1. I think it's ****ing cool that Rian Johnson expanded Force abilities, even to the point where Leia could create a "Force Bubble" in order to survive in space.

The original trilogy made the Jedi seem like superheroes, with wild and wondrous abilities. The Prequels completely shut that notion down.

Instead of superheroes, they were bumbling idiots that could move apples and kind of sword fight. They couldn't sense that Palpatine was a Sith, couldn't discern that Anakin had a wife and children in the womb and didn't believe in the Sith. They were morons.

2. Who cares? Snoke was the McGuffin. The real story is that Kylo Ren "finishes" what his Grandfather (Anakin/Vader) started: He killed Snoke and assumed the mantle of the Supreme Leader.

That was Vader's intention and he wanted his son to be by his side. Now, his Grandson rules the Galaxy. Pretty ****ing cool.

3. So, Luke "dies" during a Force projection that saves Rey while disappearing into The Force. There's no doubt that he has the knowledge to become a Force Ghost but maybe, just maybe, he knows how to turn back into corporeal flesh. That would be an exciting aspect for IX.

4. Yoda is in the film and continually trolls Luke. This should be fun!

5. Yeah, so Kylo tells Rey she's a "nobody". Does anyone take him at face value, especially since Abrams and even Daisy Ridley said that it's "obvious" who Rey's parents are/were?

I'm looking forward to this movie now more than ever.

You broke down pretty quick.. (I'm not one to talk. I told myself to avoid spoilers and read your spoilers anyway).
