I can’t believe I read the whole thing.
Now I have indigestion.And I have so much indigestion that I hit submit before I put in my first comment on this board in years.
And I had to edit it.
And I’m not sure how I feel about the film. Even after 3 viewings. Even after trying to digest the various points of view in this thread and elsewhere.
Admiral Motti had a similar issue.
I’ve seen it twice and I share your confusion. I’m pretty down on the movie and yet I enjoyed it - even more the second time. Contrary to Wook’s good advice do I need to pay to see it a third time? Maybe. There’s a fundamental level of discomfort that is more substantial than mere nostalgia.
