If that Terrence Howard Jedi Mayne meme taught us anything, it's that true Star Wars fans are very excited for the latest installment of this epic series. So excited, in fact, that they are already in line for the film, which doesn't hit theaters until December 15.

Don't worry, though; if you just want to know if the movie will be as lit as you hope it is, the critics who were able to see the film are already hitting Twitter with their early reactions, and it sounds like Disney has another hit on their hands. We're just glad that John Boyega made it through the snow to see this sequel to 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

#TheLastJedi is absolutely fantastic - gripping, touching, funny and powerful w/ gorgeous shots and the most badass battles. When it gets going, holy crap does it get going. Hands down the best #StarWars movie since Empire pic.twitter.com/nWWAhlNMJo
#StarWarsTheLastJedi floored me. @rianjohnson and the team nail so much - thrills, laughs, heart and most of all, pushing the characters/overall franchise a major step forward. Some really rich material to explore in the future. Can't wait for more.
The Last Jedi is incredible. Character at the forefront, amazing action and so so so much emotional payoff decades in the making. I will be watching this one a lot. pic.twitter.com/KVOjLhwk27
#StarWars: The Last Jedi is so beautifully human, populist, funny, and surprising. I cried when one POC heroine got her moment because films like these leave their mark on entire generations -- and representation matters
IT DOES NOT GET BETTER THAN STAR WARS THE LAST JEDI!!!!!!
Luke was right: "This is not going to go the way you think." #TheLastJedi will shatter you - and then make you whole again. pic.twitter.com/PJyYpH5loP
Impressed with #StarWars: #TheLastJedi. It makes some big, impressive and surprising moves that I definitely didn't expect. Not all of the plot stuff is exactly perfect, but the character work is once again fantastic, and it's just amazing to see Luke Skywalker back in action.
No hyperbole - #TheLastJedi is the best #starwars movie. @rianjohnson and co nailed it
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is so very different, exciting, surprising. So many emotions, so many amazing moments. Stay away from spoilers.

Stay away from spoilers? Some of you ight want to just stay away from the internet until you can catch what sounds like an incredible epic.
