The first screenings of Star Wars: The Force Awakens have just let out in Hollywood and early impressions are coming in on Twitter. The media is barred from releasing full reviews until 12:10 a.m. on Wednesday, but they can give quick overall impressions as can some of the non-media in attendance (celebs, film execs).
So we’re collecting some of the early impressions below. And, we promise, no spoilers…
Note: We’ll continue to update this as new impressions come in with the newest comments going at the top.
Star Wars was perfect.

Yes, I wept next to Paul Lee. Pretty sure he won't judge me too harshly cause he was choked up too.

Not going to say much till I see it again but rest assured THE FORCE AWAKENS is the best STAR WARS since 1983…maybe 1980.

Well, I've seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens. My prediction: #1 at the box office this week.

Rest easy: #TheForceAwakens is 100% #StarWars, and something new. Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac: welcome.

The Force Awakens is life. Finally, life, back in Star Wars. Warm characters that care for one another and make you care for them.

played.
