To quote a certain someone from the Mortal Kombat movie, it has begun! Last night was the world premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, a film that has a pretty decent chance at doing well at the box office this weekend, and early reactions to the film have just started to roll in. We decided to gather a smattering of twitter reactions that have no spoilers and are limited largely to enthusiastically positive feelings for J.J. Abrams' long-awaited sequel to Return of the Jedi. Though she didn't share her thoughts on Twitter, Geena Davis reportedly let out a big "whoop" at the end of the film and expressed deep admiration for the film, "especially Rey," according to Variety. That seems to be the general vibe from those who were there last night, including our editor-in-chief Steven Weintraub, who is among the people whose Tweets we compiled below. And remember, Friday isn't all that far away.
