Random Opinions on appearances:
I liked that Hux looked more sallow and haunted.
I liked how Leia looked more regal.
I liked how Snoke was a sassy jerk.
I liked how C-3PO and R2-D2 looked a lot more realistic somehow.
I liked Holdo’s…everything.Oh, I agree with this. Very much.
Same here - the scenes with the OT characters were pretty much spot on for me, and the new ST characters evolved - though I do wish to have seen more of Rey & Luke on Ahch-To - which we seemingly may do via the deleted/cut scenes.
The scene with Luke and Leia together was touching (a lot of dust in the cinema that day 😉) yet also found the Luke and R2 scene also emotive (damn these dusty cinemas!) - beautifully played and acted, even by R2…
Very much looking forward to Episode IX…
I think it was shabby that they cut out Rey’s third lesson. It’s just so sloppy to set it up and then let it drop.
