I love the Anakin in love red X sequence.

Why those assholes tried branching out from that perfect blend of brutally accurate takedown and self-mocking, I don't know.

Spoiler: show
As we know, there is a scene where Rey flies the Millennium Falcon as seen in the trailers. After they shot that scene, there is another sequence where Rey and Han fly it together. Daisy Ridley has a funny story about it: “I went to get into the pilot seat and he was like ‘that’s mine’. I was genuinely mortified and JJ was sitting there like ‘Oh my god.'”

We're not all up to date on every trailer spoiler here, man. I'd prefer not to know any moreuntil the movie comes out.

watching the red letter media prequel reviews is the best way to prepare for this movie. They're just so good.

that shot of the tie fighter pounding into the ground looks brutal. There's been quite a few visually intense shots we've seen, and on the plus side, I think some of the most impressive ones have been with the actors. The way that Kylo Ren moves in that winter shot where we see him activate his light saber may still be my favorite just for the feral way he moves.

At least you'll have another great redlettermedia review to watch if it isn't.

If it's halfway decent, you'll think it's great for the first six months after it comes out, anyway.
