I haven’t seen TFA in a while and last time around I felt like it runs out of steam by the third act. I just get kind of bored for some reason despite the dramatic highlights. Meanwhile TLJ I just randomly revisited and I still think it’s a notch above. It’s not well structured in the middle despite the action build ups (the saber breaking and the lightspeed crash) and I don’t like how often it stalls on Canto Bight. Rose and DJ still don’t work for me as fake morality paths for Finn. And the climax where she nearly kills herself and Finn is nonsense. It should have been edited to show Finn’s speeder crashing by itself out of luck. That being said I still like nearly all of the Luke stuff and Mark Hamill’s performance. I just find it interesting. Shame the Rey parent stuff/Kylo stuff is a dead end though thanks to part three… which I haven’t gone back to despite a mildly improved fan version.
