'The Last Jedi' first premiere reactions are here and - you guessed it - the Force is strong

Star Wars: The Last Jedi held its star-studded world premiere at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Saturday night, and the credits had barely finished rolling before attendees hit Twitter to share their first reactions to Rian Johnson's take on the Skywalker saga.

While spoilers and plot details are under strict embargo until Dec. 12 at 9 a.m. PT, that didn't stop fans from weighing in on the tone of the movie, which has drawn inevitable comparisons to the second (and most critically acclaimed) film in George Lucas' original Star Wars trilogy, The Empire Strikes Back.

Did The Last Jedi live up to the hype? And will it measure up to our bold prediction that it will become the best-reviewed Star Wars film of all time? Sure seems that way.
