Dre, did you ever get back to see a second showing of TLJ? (I skipped like 15 - 20 pages of this topic so i missed if that ever happened). I am just curious what your experience was like compared to the first viewing.
Yeah, I liked it better the second time. I could enjoy it more on it’s own terms. I’m a bit in two minds about it. I think I will allways prefer the story of the classic characters to end with ROTJ, having ushered in a long period of peace, and justice in the galaxy, but I can enjoy the less fairy tale like approach of the ST, even if I feel it doesn’t really tell a new story with the reprise of the Empire versus rebels scenario. I think it is time for an entirely new story set in a different era.
