First viewing of the movie, so I will be seeing it a few times to have a better feel for it or think of things that stuck out.

The Superman Leia scene just felt … awkward. Didn’t feel right. For editing purposes, my first rough draft thought is having the first moment of the bridge getting hit with the missiles, cuts to the outside of the bridge exploding. Eventually, it cuts to the crew running up to the door to see Leia’s hand. Not sure how smooth that can be, but one could assume that she used the force to keep her safe in there, knowing the bridge was going to get hit.

I love my Yoda, but holy cow, Yoda didn’t look like Yoda. Jim Henson knew how to make puppets … 30+ years ago! That I would say … should have used CGI if that was going to be Yoda’s look.

I think the Island scenes could be trimmed down, the pacing seemed to have slowed down a bit too much for me.

Just initial thoughts before seeing it again without the fresh new eyes on it.
