I just finished watching SW.

And I have to say… it felt so fantastically weird to see the opening crawl about rebels taking their first victory against the Empire, the same crawl I’ve been reading for 20 years, and now I was like “hey, I saw that victory yesterday!”. And then, after the two hours of action and what happened at the end of R1 the first half of SW had a very calming feeling after the battle instead of feeling like a slow start. Also the galaxy felt even more massive than before. Watching SW now didn’t feel like watching it for the first time but it did feel completely different than ever before. And only in a positive way, for me.
