I’m overjoyed it was puppet Yoda again! He looked different though for SURE. But that’s fine. He looks older. I don’t care.

The only huge thing I want to see edited is Luke’s saber during his projection scene changed from the blue Graflex (Anakin’s) to the green thin neck hilt he made for ROTJ. It would make so much more sense. If he was trying to get into Kylo’s head in that scene by appearing as he did when he last saw him (different clothes, darker/shorter beard/hair) then it stands to reason he’d be using his thin neck as well. My guess is it was just fan service for the audience to see Luke with the Graflex one last time. Unfortunately, everywhere I go I see people who were disappointed by that. So I think they missed the mark there.

Actually, I figured out that Luke wasn’t real in that scene very early on because I was specifically watching to see what saber he had. When I saw the Graflex I was super confused…and then it clicked. I was disappointed in that moment.
