The shot in the forest where Rey is just about to encounter kylo are exactly the same shots as Luke in the cave when he encounters Vader in the force vision. I love that that they went that far mirroring shots. It informs us subconsciously even if we never noticed it or had it possible need out in a video like that.

Lucas only ever used static shots and no movement or tracking even on battle shots. It's brilliant that they took those shots and mirrored them. It's such a fluid always moving film.

It's not a negative strat, it's brilliant. Would anyone even have known if some need hadn't done the work to match it? ( tho in fairness a lot of it doesn't really match)

I voted as good as the originals (each of the 4 films has different strengths to the point that I can't really rank them) and am looking forward to the home video test

Watching it again now.
If R2 is the real hero of the Star Wars universe, the Falcon is almost as important.

Know what makes this Star Wars? It's none of that fancy stuff.
It's Han Solo. Harrison ford isnt doing Harrison ford. It's Han Solo. Exactly as he should be.
He's the heart of this.
I think Disney and us all will come to regret hat they killed him off too early.
