Oh yeah, I don’t have a huge issue with “I think you’re okay” myself. My issue is more with the quipping about the spice running when they should be sad about Chewie’s apparent death, as well as retconning Poe’s backstory in a way that adds nothing of consequence to the story or character. It’s so blatantly superficial and-

(…Happy thoughts, Sherlock. Calm down.)

The lack of any extra frames or padding is a constant problem throughout the film’s pacing. The professional cut feels like a hatchet job. I think it’ll work better if it just cuts to “We don’t have much time,” even if it’s a little rushed. I’d rather a bit rushed (in yet another scene) than an abrupt halt and a massive tonal conflict. But I guess that’s more of a personal preference thing.

And I know Luke had an extra line in voiceover; but I was thinking more of a line said by the character in person, you know?

Jarbear, I always interpret that stuff as metaphorical. “I’m as powerful as all of the Sith!” “The Jedi are with you in spirit!” It’s garbage, but it’s not the worst thing in the film, imo.
