    do you think a dvd release with extended versions (bringing back the stuff from the cutting room floor) could improve it?

I know a lot of people say the extended editions of the Lord of the Rings films are wonderful. For TFA, I could honestly see it going either way. If JJ Abrams edited those scenes down in such a way that the cut parts would mess up the pacing, adding them back in wouldn't help. On the other hand, if they can add to the information given to the viewers without being repetitive or redundant, then I think they could honestly help.

    honestly, I enjoyed the hell out of it, but I'm not a hardcore fangirl so I'm able to enjoy it for what it is and am able to suspend disbelief pretty easily.

It wasn't awful. But I think it could have been much better with a few tweaks here and there.
