In the book this scene felt so much better. I do think it’s filmed terribly.

It’s weird for me the amount that voted on the first option, with all the flaws of this movie.

I loved it but I hated how it looked. I thought it looked cheap. Too CGI.
I agree with this.

I coined the phrase space Mary poppins. To my shame.

It should have been a beautiful powerful scene. But it does look just wrong.

My biggest beef with heavily CGI'd scenes like that is they can never get the lighting right.

The Raddus is the ship in Last JEdi that gets blown to pieces and is the main set in space. right?

Watching Rogue One and Admiral Raddus is mentioned.

I do. Incredible moment. Made me tear up. Seeing Leia use the Force like that was something I've wanted to see since I was a kid. :heartbeat:
Agree 100%. I find that you can judge the degree of darkness and corruption in someone's soul by how they react to that scene... ::backs aways from thread::

I wish I'd been more active during your LOST reviews. I feel like we could have had some great conversations.
