It was also good enough for me to enjoy it in spite of the annoying ****ing kid next to me that was a constant reminder of why I typically prefer to watch movies at home. Cinemark lounger seat reclined, not reclined, reclined, not reclined, reclined, not reclined, and on and on. Tray back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. Mom would try to get him to stop but she was mostly useless.

Emotional moments:

My mouth dropped and then I said "No, no, no, no" and then I got choked up when that transport ship blew up and I thought Chewie was on it. Man....that HURT

X-wing coming out of the water when he couldn't do it in ESTB. I was elbowing my son in the ribs when that happened.

Seeing Luke's helmet....more rib elbowing

Chewie's medal....eyes watered on that and had a huge lump in my throat.

Raising the X-wing was one of my favorite parts of the movie. Fan service? Hell yeah. Don't like fan service? **** you, killjoy

It's a shame that Rian Johnson ****ed up VIII so incredibly bad that they reveal Palpatine in the scroll. What a massive blown opportunity.

Good movie, not great

Fun at times

Liked Jedi voices, Luke rising x-wing, Ben turning good

Dislikes - emperor disabling entire fleet and every starship being a planet killer?? Over the top on both.

Picture ROTJ with an opening scroll that says "did we mention that Luke is Vader's son? Well, he is. The guy that did ESB kind of ****ed up and left that awesomeness out, but here ya go."

Yeah, one of my hangups is that the Emperor's plan and overall scene could have been done better. But I partly chalk that up to a rush job. Didnt really have time to develop it so it ended up a bit simplistic. Every ship is a planet killer! Scary!

At the end during the celebration, when Poe is looking for someone to hug and smiles and nods, it should've been Finn he was looking at.

Didn't he look at Zori, the female merc, and then basically asked her for a kiss again?

What I personally appreciated about all the fan service, is imo, it fit perfectly into the story. I know there is a negative connotation to fan service, so it must be when they just throw something in just to do it. Like, we're not talking about some great introspective work of art. It's star wars, you SHOULD be giving us what we want.

Just got out. Girl bawling two seats over when Ben died. I cried several times.

I enjoyed it.

I can't wait until this thing is on disney+ so that I can slo-mo my way through that sith layer to check out the details.

Was Wedge manning the turret on the falcon at the end? I thought that was him.

Yeah. **** was awesome

That so. Gave me chills.


Also loved Rey being referred to as Red 5

One thing I liked was how Threepio knows but can't translate the Sith language

Can't remember the exact line, but did anyone notice a comment about hair between Poe and Felicity?

All I could think of was

Speaking of, I thought the little Babu Frik character was done well. Cracked me up.

Yea, when I first saw him I thought it was going to just be a cringe inducing character, but damn if he wasn't funny.

One of his oldest friends!

So I saw it first show this morning, I realllllly liked it and enjoyed the movie overall.

I do agree with lots of people if I had to be critical and find something I didn't like was it was sooooo fast paced. Once the movie settled in, it was the most enjoyable.

As someone said above I was really thrown off that the scroll seemed shorter than normal and just threw the emperor out there in I think the first sentence.

If I had to describe the movie, it would be like watching Harry Potter and the deathly hallows part 1 & 2 at the same times, and tossing in parts of the other HP movies just to catch you up.

I loved when chewy got his medal. I loved when Luke raised the Xwing out of the water. I thought Leias lightsaber looked really cool design, but loved the look of Reys new one. I had in the new series everyone had blue, I loved the different shades of blades. I felt like the knights of REN were a giant waste and afterthought. Every time you saw them, they always felt like they were just lurking in the shadows, or just last to the party.
I saw a few of y'all debate how the ties were light speed jumping with the falcon, and I just assumed that they were all in proximity with the falcons to be sucked along. I believe they even talked about it in either empire or return of the jedi... Han or lando was like well take a few of them with us...

I got a good laugh when Poe wanted a kiss at the end and she's like nahhh and they go their own ways.

Cameos: so the bartender was John Williams? I thought it might had been the bartender from Tattoine mainly how he was looking at the droid and they made a point to focus on him and that was Wedge on the falcon?

The biggest part that confused me was how Palp came back after being killed in ROTJ. The time line of how old rey appears to be, and she is already the granddaughter to palp does t make sense. I would love just more explanation on that.


The score was great, williams did a great job of blending everyone's themes and overall was just so good. Like others said, I was sad there was no duel of the fates, but oh well
