Trivia
Daniel Craig: The Stormtrooper on whom Rey performs a Jedi mind trick was played by Daniel Craig, famous for playing James Bond 007. Fans have given him the unofficial Stormtrooper number JB-007. The Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2016) game finally revealed the Stormtrooper's actual designation: FN-1824.

Goofs
When Finn looks up at the sky while on Takodana, he observes the real time use of the First Order's Starkiller weapon, which is being used against a number of Republic Planets. Han also looks up and sees the planets' outlines in the sky. Given that this weapon was being fired from a different star system (with the star of that system providing the power), there is no way for Finn or Han to be able to observe light from the weapon in real time, as the light source would be many light years away. Also, they are supposedly in a different star system to that of the republic planets that were the target of the weapon, therefore there should have been nothing for our protagonists to see at all.

Quotes
Han Solo: What was your job when you were based here?
Finn: Sanitation.
Han Solo: Sanitation? Then how do you know how to disable the shields?
Finn: I don't. I'm just here to get Rey.
Han Solo: People are counting on us. The galaxy is counting on us.
Finn: Solo, we'll figure it out. We'll use the Force.
Han Solo: That's not how the Force works!

Crazy credits
The first "Thank You" credit (usually dedicated to benefactors of the film or to organizations or locations that gave permission for filming/technical advice/support) is dedicated to "The patient family and friends of the cast and crew."

Alternate versions
The end credits music is slightly different on the Blu-Ray version of the film - we get to hear a bit more of Rey's theme than what we heard in the theatrical version.

The Trailer was enough

Even with low expectations I was sadly disappointed. The trailer was so much better and exciting than the movie. Poor filming, poor editing and spending 2 hours with actors who had no idea what to do or how to act in some scenes is not something I want to reward with my money.

With a story that's already been told, I was hoping the movie would take some time to develop the characters. But instead, everyone hugs/loves everyone right away while evil people are evil all the time and all the way. And why does the bad guy need to wear a mask?! I didn't see any breathing issue there.

A very long and boring movie. I give it 5 stars for the good casting of Rey, BB-8, the first 15 minutes and the fact that JJ Abrams won't be directing another Star Wars movie.
