Personally, the 2 major scenes I’d change/improve in this movie were: 1. The Rey Palpatine reveal. I don’t mind that Rey is a Palpatine. But I think the execution was done poorly. It felt like Kylo just threw it out there and it did not feel dramatic at all. The other scene is the kiss scene. I dig the kiss itself, but I hate how Ben died immediately after. The crowd at the theater cheered when they kissed. But a lot of people laughed when Ben died. It was just too soon and too fast. I don’t know if that’s JJ’s intention. But I wish his death would be more dramatic. And I later learned it’s not just my theater, someone else had the exact experience where the audience cheered at the kiss and then laughed when he died. I think slowing down both scenes giving them more breathing room will help a lot.

Overall, the movie is just too fast paced trying to fit too much content in. I think an extra 10 minutes of breathing room for multiple scenes will really enhance the experience.

Looking forward to your edit!
