OK so aside from story discussion, how good was the scenery, the effects, and some of the shots??
Lightsabers finally look good, much better than 1, 2, and 3, and all the sets and costumes looked stunning. Going in and out of hyperspace looked great, but for me, that shot with the tie fighters silhouetted in front of the sun, looking like an homage to the Apocalypse Now poster, that was a tear jerker. When the Falcon blasts away from Jakku and it's reminiscent of it flying a way from Tatooine and Hoth, fuck, I couldn't hold back the massive smile.
More than just the visuals, the sounds are the same, having just watched 4, 5, and 6 for the 50th time each(near enough), for me the big, BIG, MASSIVE thing was that the Falcon makes the same noises!! The hyperdrive, the sound of the deflector shields, the sounds when they're coming up on their destination, all of the buzzers and warnings....
The film was like finding a favourite pair of trainers that you lost 15 years ago and putting them on again, and they still fit perfectly, and are still just as you remember them.
