Lol thanks for reminding me why I love Star Wars but always avoid the communities and fans at every possible cost 👍

    Let’s try a novel approach and be positive. What’s something you liked about the sequels?

      I thought the acting from most of the cast was pretty solid. The visual effects were nice while still harkening back to the Original Trilogy and looking “outdated” in certain respects. I loved Poe and I thought that Phasma was pretty badass if underutilized, then again that’s kind of consistent with Star Wars at this point. I loved the new scores. Crait was visually gorgeous with the salt and red earth combination. Lightsaber battles in new locations was also really awesome, especially the snow sequence in The Force Awakens. The blue and red shining off of the snow looked so cool. I thought Takodana was a really neat location and the shots of the X-Wings flying in were stunning. Han using the Bowcaster was kind of hilarious. As someone who was raised in a really abusive household, I also really appreciated and loved the theme of not being who your family is. Ben/Kylo obviously went to the darker extreme but Rey also rebelled pretty hard against her lineage and I related to that.

      To start with.

      One from each:

      1. Rey’s dialogue-free introduction.
      2. Luke’s “Jakuu pretty much is nowhere” line.
      3. Adam Driver’s evocation of a Harrison Ford-esque smile at the end.

      Rey and Finn burgeoning romance hinted at in FA. I really wish they had built on that. Successful or not I can live with but at least try.
