This movie is dogshit, but it doesn't deserve a fraction of the hate that Force Awakens does. Johnson didn't kill Star Wars. He just raped the corpse. Jar Jar Abrams killed Star Wars.

I really enjoy the scenes with Luke and Rey now, just like I did when reading the book. The opening scene with the Dreadnough was decent too, although the Hugs part was poor humour

Kylo Ren steals every scene.

Leia using the force is cool, but her in space is just poorly shot.

Poe vs Holdo is cringeworthy.

Now Rose stunning Finn. Not the best part of the movie.

Calling Maz, but she is busy with a union dispute. :roll:

The Rey and Kylo scenes are a lot better for me than they were originally, especially after TROS.

They're so good. It's a real wonder how much they nailed the casting and execution of those two characters in this trilogy.

Unfortunately Canto Bight gets worse each time I see it. If that segment was an episode of The Mandalorian, it would have been the worst one.

Thankfully we’re now back on Ahch-To. Rey’s scene in the cave.

The Yoda scene feels stronger now as part of the full sequel trilogy.

We didn’t blink as yoda appears sitting down. But
Spoiler: show
Luke appearing am walking over and sitting down beside Rey in ROS is just golden. So many little tiny call backs like that nobody will even notice probably for the most part outside us lot

Now Snoke is dead. The fight afterwards is very colourful, but I feel it’s the most overhyped part of the movie. It’s ok, but looks too choreographed and clean.

Holdo’s attack is great. Although, I’m surprised all the people we know on the ship she hit, survived without too much damage.

I remember letting out an audible gasp at the premier.

Half an hour left, we’re at Crait now. Again the cinematography is second to none. Stunning.

Look I don't agree with your opinion that TLJ is a bigger pile of garbage and deserves more hate than TFA, but I respect it.
