Why yes, that is Joseph Gordon Levitt dressed as Yoda, green-face and all, at the 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' world premiere last night. We think it's safe to say he's a fan.
And he wasn't the only one in attendance at the premiere screening last night, as both cast and celebrity fans alike took to the red carpet and then to their seats in the three different theaters showing J.J. Abram's take on the Star Wars universe. Rainn Wilson and son came as Obi-Wan and Boba Fett, and his was just one of many voices crying out a resounding yes after the film ended. Mild spoilers below.
Phones were reportedly confiscated from all who headed into the cinema screens to watch but as attendees trickled out, so did the first reactions.
Star Wars premiere just letting out now. A LOT of smiling faces. #StarWarsForceAwakens

Rest easy: #TheForceAwakens is 100% #StarWars, and something new. Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac: welcome.

And without spoiling it, I can say that #StarWarsForceAwakens has the BEST final shot of any Star Wars film. Wow.

I have some more complicated thoughts on TFA, but will save them for the review. Some faults, but no doubt best Star Wars film since '83.

Among its many wonderful qualities, STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS passes the Bechdel test.

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS is a strong, promising kickoff. As a standalone, I'd rank it #3 in the series.
