I honestly thought the callbacks and in-jokes were quite well done. Or, at least the more subtle ones like the Trash Compactor line. And yes, I think we can all agree that the biggest sci-fi tearjerker of 2015 was Han Solo's death.

Plus, it's a very well made film. Not only is it a pure spectacle of popcorn entertainment, but I think this has some of the franchise's best visual storytelling since Empire. If you look at the scene where Kylo and Solo meet, you see the whitish-blue light of the sky shining on his face when he seems to regret his actions, but before he does you-know-what, the sky and the light turns dark red.

And maybe if Starkiller looked less like a giant pokemon ball I'd have liked it more.
