With the knowledge hindsight brings, the Snoke scenes are a lot worse.
But look forward the scenes at Maz’s planet starting now. Best scenes since Han showed up.

The attack by Starkiller Base might be the worst scene in the movie. The scene with Rey and the lightsaber is one of the best.

Adam Driver is the acting highlight of the movie. Great when he finally removes his helmet.
It’s obvious Rey and Kylo have a very special connection. Led to a lot of theories. Not sure we ended with the best possible solution to it.

Han dying is sad. Wish they had saved it for later.

Very pleased with the 4k blu ray transfer. Not as vibrant as the TLJ one, but every detail looks perfect.

Now the final scene with Luke. Wish it lasted 30 seconds longer.

It might legit be the thing that made me fall in love with Star Wars actually. Even watching that gif gets me all emotional.

Won’t finish TLJ today, but I will start it.

«I have my orders from Supreme Leader Snoke himself» Hux says to one of his own guys. Then the prank phone call with Poe. Not a great start to the movie.

Poe pretending to be The Jerky Boys. Ugh. So terrible.
Yeah, he’s a great character.

Finally Rey and Luke.
The thowing the saber thing is a bit weird, but I’ve gotten used to it.

TLJ is by far his worst of the trilogy.

I hinted at it before, but for me the biggest positive change has been the Luke scenes. I wish there was even more time spent on Ahch-To.

Now the connection between Kylo and Leia. One of the other highlights of the movie. Again Driver is excellent. Leia in space could have been shot better though. As it is, it is one of the worse scenes.
