I'm still in need of sleeping on this to let it all sink in, but here's a few random thoughts of mine right now....
They could have called the casino something else Star Warsy, like an Khu'ban, or I don't know... just not how we call them on Earth. My name idea is bad, but it's something other than the term 'casino'.
No back story to Snoke in this?
Where the heck are the Knights of Ren?!! I was expecting Kylo to be leading his elite group during some of this film.
Something doesn't align to the flashbacks. I thought Kylo came to slaughter the new order trainees and Luke along with the temple. Looks to have been a different scenario, so are Rey's visions just visions, or something that is yet to pass under her leadership? Maybe it's something to come....
Yoda was great, but maybe just lit too weird? It was off somehow, I'm just having a tough time with where. The neck perhaps.... it was better than the prequel shape and features, but off from the intended Freeborn design.
As a Kylo costumer, I sorely miss the helmet and TFA costume. Perhaps TLJ serves as a transition and we'll see him back in another form now that he is the new supreme leader of the First Order.
I should be applauding just how much more different this movie is and that they finally explored more of the universe, but maybe I got too much of that in this. I don't know on this. I don't hate it, and I appreciate it... I need this new stuff to sink in more.
It was such a joy to see Luke back, but if I'm imagining what Hamill's reservations were, I have to agree that it's not how I was expecting him to be. Sure... time and events, and loneliness can change a person over time, but I thought Luke was more above all that being a Master.
I have deep appreciation that I was not able to fully predict what would happen next, even when I thought I could in the moment and then it changed. Good job on not making it predictable.
Those are just some initial thoughts. I didn't hate this movie at all, but I don't think it was one of the best of the 8. I don't have a placement in mind yet.
Thanks for reading!
