 Madurai posted:If we're going by on-screen kills, than that's one AT-AT (the one and only time the cable trick worked) and two TIEs. Yeah, and if we go by things that happen on screen, Jedi training takes about 15 minutes, 1/3 of which are your master rummaging through your suitcase and eating dinner.

Finally saw it last night. Overall, I'd give it an extremely solid B+/A-, aside from the useless casino subplot and Rose's cringe worthy intro scene. Mark Hamill owns every scene he is in, and given that he Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley sell the poo poo out of their uncertainty as two people who share the experience of having power and responsibility thrust on them far before they were ready. "Join me... Please." And every day being Hux's worst day is maybe the best part of this Trilogy. The trans-light ram didn't bother me. There are a lot of reasons that it could work: it probably requires something with the mass of a cruiser to punch through shields and armor, and even in its darkest days, the Rebellion couldn't afford to throw away a cruiser and its entire crew. Plus, everyone knew that someone could use an airliner as a suicide missile, but no one adapted their security and tactics until someone actually went and did it. I think a lot of people had valid complaints about how unnecessary the Leia flies through space scene was, but I thought the visual was fine: that's how someone doing an EVA actually looks. Not swimming or flying, but sliding statically, clothes unruffled by an absent wind, seemingly pulled by an invisible string. Crakkerjakk posted:My takeaway is that while 7 and 8 are enjoyable star wars-y visual spectacles, I read the Thrawn Trilogy back in the day and I just feel like that was straight up better. Better villains, heroes, fewer plot holes, etc etc etc. Also, a prediction: Title Crawl: EPISODE IX THE FLAMES OF REVOLUTION Princess Leia was needed back on her home planet. Anyway...

I don't want to get too political, but Chewbacca murdering and eating one of the puffin/seal hybrid things from the trailer was entirely too obvious as a ham-fisted metaphor for the 2016 election.
