Another thing I’d wish to edit is the strange random lightsaber ignition sounds on the Graflex. When Rey ignites it while she’s practising on her own and when Luke ignites it on Crait). Possibly when she ignites it while fighting with Luke at night in the rain as well (I don’t quite remember that sound there).
As far as the humour goes, it was slightly jarring to me at first as well. But then I remember that Star Wars has always had cheesy goofy humour like this. Always. Since 1977. It was just in that era’s form. This isn’t “Marvel Universe humour”, it’s just this generation’s humour. This is a Star Wars for THIS generation. And it even made me laugh, jarring though it may have been at first.
Does it bother anyone else that they kept calling him a “code breaker” and never once used the word “slicer?”
He was never referred to as a “slicer” but DJ did use the phrase “…slice into their shields, blip bloppity bloop…” when they arrived at the scene.
