Spoiler: show

pretty sure you don't hear them checking in their call sign in that scene but I could be wrong. I was listening for it tho.

Imperfect is being very kind. It has some really tedious scenes, others that are just illogical and the main plot is stolen straight from A New Hope. Not even close to A New Hope and Empire in quality.

Episodes 3 and 6 are solid efforts, but imperfect, episodes 1 and 2 are fun but deeply flawed.

Have to disagree. R1 was exactly what I thought it would be. A good war movie. Not a great Star Wars movie. It's saved by the ending and the only character you feel drawn to is the droid. No development or engaging characters.

And you can totally see that this was reshot and further, the trauma it had in editing. You can see they made the best they could of it. But still. It doesn't rank top 5 for me.

They could have done better in the lead up to this to let us know she wasn't going to be in it then

I left the cinema about an hour ago and ran home. Put this straight in.

It's a prequel to the original Star Wars Movie: A New Hope (Episode 4). I thought that was clear.

Out of eight movies, it doesn't rank in the top 5?

You know I'll watch this however many times it takes until I love it.

Truth be told I just wanna see the final act again. It's beyond good. Somehow meshes exactly with a new hope while being totally new and thrilling.
