Watching this in timeline order makes it work better. Sure, it has its moments and ginormous plot holes but the action is solid and the effects are evolved. Man, those stormtroopers fly in this one - so many flying stormtroopers as they’re blown back from explosions that it’s make a fun drinking game (if only blue milk was alcoholic).
Daisy nearly steals the show with her overacting (I thinks it’s just they way her face is built and I’m fine with that). I’m still annoyed by her quick force skills acquisition. She makes more improvement than Luke between E V & VI. Finn & Poe are rather flat characters. Han outshines them all. I’m still not down with Kylo and his dumb lightsaber.
I don’t remember getting an explanation for why Maz has Luke’s lightsaber. I wonder what became of Kenobi’s or Yoda’s for that matter. Or Darth’s… where do these lightsabers go?
This is a rather amusing thread upon the reread. It charts the franchise reawakening on several levels - the Disney park, the Kenobi series, even Zack Snyder’s offshoot. I love when old threads to that.
Seeing this again pales by comparison to seeing it in Madrid.
