From slashfilm, The world premiere of JJ Abrams‘ Star Wars: The Force Awakens happened last night in Hollywood California at an unprecedented gala that took over the three big theaters on Hollywood Blvd: El Capitan, The Dolby Theatre and The TCL Chinese Theatre. While full on reviews are embargoed until Wednesday morning at 12:01am, guests in attendance at the premiere were allowed to tweet their brief reactions. After the jump you can find the first First Awakens reactions from the premiere screening.

So what did people think of Star Wars: The Force Awakens? I tweeted the following after the screening:
Awesome. The Force has indeed awakened. I can't wait for what comes next. #StarWarsForceAwakens

The Force Awakens is everything we want from a Star Wars movie. The film brought me to tears multiple times.
I talked to many people at the premiere party after the screening, and while some people were hesitant to make a definitive reaction after only one viewing, I did not talk to anyone who didn’t like the movie. Most people I talked to said it was certainly better than the prequels, with some ranking it as highly as their second favorite in the series.
One thing was very clear from everyone I encountered: Star Wars is back and everyone seems to be excited about the future of the franchise. Below you can find a round up of tweets from journalists, filmmakers and guests in attendance at the World Premiere screening. The film will be screening for press around the world on Tuesday night, so you’re very likely going to see more tweets at that time. But feel free to browse the tweets below without the fear of spoilers, as I have ensured that all of the reactions are spoiler free:
"Star Wars" is back. And it's never going away again.

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

1st Star Wars review: it was epic, awesome & perfect. The cast was stellar. JJ killed it!

Not going to say much till I see it again but rest assured THE FORCE AWAKENS is the best STAR WARS since 1983…maybe 1980.

Oooh I just skimmed it.
Yes, I'm excited. Still haven't nailed down the plan to see it.
Yay! Spoiler free reviews look promising. May try to see it as part of traditional Jewish Christmas, if I can convince our friends; otherwise as soon as we can get decent tix at a humane hour! So January maybe? And should those who see it refrain from reviews or opinions for now? I don't care myself but want to be respectful of any preferences on this.
