Some people who are not you have now seen Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker, and those people seem to have enjoyed it.

Of course, we won't know its true legacy until a small handful of folks have collectively decided whether it is suitably respectful of their personal feelings and opinions.

It looks like it might take a while for everyone to work out their feelings, but here are some snap judgements from people who literally just walked out of the premiere, which was in Los Angeles on Monday night.

None of these tweets are spoilers, but just know this: The phrase "a lot" is popping up... a lot.

She also worked at Choice, Australia's consumer advocacy non-profit and magazine, and as such has surprisingly strong opinions about whitegoods. She enjoys big dumb action movies, big clever action movies, cult Canadian comedies set in small towns, Carly Rae Jepsen, The Replacements, smoky mezcal, revenge bedtime procrastination, and being left the hell alone when she's reading.
