Just got out.......
I enjoyed it. But I always knew I would. I'm not a sheep and don't give a **** about others, internet, spoilers etc.
It wasn't perfect, clearly, but it was very good. It really was Revenge of the Sith.
I hated 1-2 and how much wasn't done/ready for Ep 3, but he closed it strong. He rushed things, he forced things, but we got there. Anakin was still a Jedi hero 2 hours in. We got 10 seconds of Vader and not a single Jedi killed by him. But he did an honorable job getting as much in as possible.
Same here. First 45-50 minutes we were all over the place, literally. I'm a few galaxies away, aiight, see ya in a few......
Hyper jumps, blindly?
Cool lookin, but c'mon now.
The force strength/connection between them to PHYSICALLY touch each other was next level. That was actually enhanced, and cool imo.
Good to see Lando, but again.....I never agreed with the 70's something characters. Til I die I believe we should have gone Heir to the Empire 5 years after Jedi. Thrawn v heroes in their prime, recasted.
Still, good to see Lando.
Kylo got busy this time. He took on the Rens, barehanded.
And when he got ol blue, WRAP.
Leia was an honorable close. I think it may have been smarter to let her go in TLJ and keep Luke for this, but they did a nice touch with her here.
Young Luke/Leia
Ghost Luke was a damn G. Seein that X rise up was
We can relax on the bomb drops, we can run around on ships with no masks now. Or back the Falcon up and blast folks with no masks on, in space. So drop that complaint on TLJ.
Palps was brilliant. Eerie as ****, maniacal as hell, and powerful as all get out........however.........loved the VISUAL of lightning up every ship. I mean.....beautiful, BUT.........all that power, hundreds of ships........but a single lightsaber can block it no problem?
Needed to tone that one down a smidge.
That said, LOVED the Jedi talkin to her. Awesome stuff and I actually heard Anakin and damn near jumped out my seat.
The grandson of Vader. The grandaughter of Palpatine.
Their child would have been insane.
Now we can chill on the Mary Sue stuff, she's a legend. Made up, forced in, whatever, it explains her talent.
Reason he wasn't a force ghost at the end, I don't think he had training for it. I assume Luke taught Leia about it, but Ben never had the same training. Just my thought, doesn't mean I'm right.
I'm goin again tomorrow with my daughter.
Theater tonight was packed, every seat. And everyone was happy.......for now. We'll see what the internet and reviews does.
What do we have, 11 film's now? This was in the 5-6 range, imo. After I watch 2-3 more times I'll arrange them and see how it looks.
Keri Russell outfit....... Whew.
6.5-7/8 I could lean either number. Second viewing should help me.
