Man, I disliked that movie, but damn this looked good.

    The movie had some good ideas, but not good ideas for the second part of a trilogy.

    I think it was the first time I audibly gasped in a theater. The color of the screen and thus the room going almost completely dark, then, in an instant, being flooded with the pale light of that collision coupled with the small details of the rubble made for one of the prettiest theater experiences I've ever had.

    Granted, I don't go to the theater much. But I've seen all of the star wars movies from Revenge of the Sith in theaters on release, and this way by far the one that got the most emotions out of me from sheer color work and composition.

    or, at least, good emotions…

    fuck lining up an ancient dagger with a 50-year old piece of wreckage, btw

    Not counting the character assassination of Luke or Finn having a stalker the ideas were fine because it was just the Empire Strikes Back in with a slight reverse in the order of events, having the base assault on the rebels happening in a desert at the end, starting with Rey having her mentor moment, and then ending with the duel with the Emperor's right hand.
