You could at least wait until the movie is actually out legally before you start talking about rewatching it, piracy isn’t encouraged around here.

Streaming films isn’t actually illegal. It’s uploading or downloading them that is. Also, this thread is all about a proposed fan edit. I can’t help but imagine that not everyone who will be watching it owns a copy of Last Jedi. I don’t know the legality of fan edits, but to stream a film doesn’t feel all that different from watching a fan edited version of it.

Also, come on man - X-wing? Cell block AA23? TK-421? Every single one of those is from SW77.

Sure, but to address it so blatantly as “that name that begins with the letter ‘H’” makes me think to Sesame Street with the letter of the day, which is somewhat jarring. I might be alone, but the prank call scene already felt jarring as it came off more like parody than the thing a parody would be based on. Then, for a character to address the English language, it just adds to that strangeness. Already, within the first five minutes of the film, I’m taken out of that experience of suspended disbelief.
