After 12 agonising months of waiting, the the Millennium Falcon has been prepped and the lightsabers charged. Star Wars: The Force Awakens has finally opened in Cineworld cinemas across the country – and many of you turned out at midnight on Thursday to clap eyes on JJ Abrams' acclaimed movie. So what did you guys think?
Let's start with those dedicated Padawans who attended the midnight screenings. Ian says the experience of watching the movie at Cineworld Aldershot couldn't have been more spectacular.

Next up is Kate who went to watch the movie at Birmingham. But of course, Star Wars isn't just a movie – it's an experience.

And de519n (we think that would make an excellent droid name) says it was a dream come true for a Star Wars fan, the perfect culmination of 12 months of waiting.

Craig says the movie is so exciting, it even threatens to make him a 3D convert
The IMAX screen at @cineworld Ipswich was pretty amazing. Not normally keen on 3D, but this was epic! #TheForceAwakens
