I loved all of the fan service, and it was certainly far superior to the prequels, but was anyone else slightly disappointed that it was essentially just a re-work of A New Hope? As awesome as it was seeing Han's swashbuckling swan song, along with everyone else, I was hoping for an entirely new story, with just a few callbacks for exposition/old time's sake, and it's a shame we didn't see more of the new characters (although I suppose that's setting Ep VIII up to be the sequels' Empire).
Kylo Ren is shaping up to be a superb flawed villain, and I'm looking forward to him 'completing his training' with Snoke and coming back less petulant and much more sinister. Patricide's a great way to embrace the dark side I guess! Finn/Rey provided a nice dynamic too. Are they siblings? Is she Luke's daughter? Given that she picked up Jedi Mind Tricks in about twenty minutes, is she supremely powerful, or was that just artistic convenience from JJ?
Also, I'm an inexplicably huge fan of Greg Grunberg, so I audibly gasped with joy when they panned from Po to him in the 'how-are-we-going-to-destroy-the-First-Order's -new-weapon-planet-oh-right-yeah-we'll-take-out-the-shields-and-fly-down-that-trench-and-fire-at-the-weak-point' scene, but that was probably just me!
