After some hefty build-up, Star Wars: The Force Awakens finally hit UK cinemas at midnight.
Those who weren’t among the lucky few to get tickets for the first public screenings were gutted to be missing out.
So jealous of people watching Star Wars tonight, I have two more sleeps until I see it. I can do it

Even if they didn’t show it.
Glad I'm not seeing Star Wars until tomorrow night, if anything.

Those fortunate enough to see the film seemed to enjoy it.
Put it this way, there’s no spoiler-free way to discuss the flaws with The Force Awakens. But I loved every second and will watch again.

Or really enjoy it.
I wanna see Star Wars again. Like RIGHT now.

Well, most of them did.
Just watched the new Star Wars movie. George Lucas will be as disappointed as I am. #TheForceIsGone

Thankfully people were good enough to avoid posting spoilers.
Perhaps because they were warned. Unlike this guy.
I wish there was a death penalty for anyone who spoils Star Wars before the New Year.

No, posting #StarWarsForceAwakens spoilers is not a crime. Yes, it should be. We enforce the laws – we don't make them. Sorry.
