Glad to see you enjoyed it Anchored. Been looking forward to your reaction and whether it provided a satisfying follow up to the original.
Just saw it again and it was even better this time. Knowing what to expect and everything that’s going on (not having to figuring things out) I was able to immerse myself and enjoy it even more than before. I actually cried a lot this time (where as last time I just teared up). The emotional stuff packed a bigger punch, especially with Han knowing what was coming (even though I suspected it the first time, knowing it for sure is a bit different).
What gripes? Even the stuff that felt off to me the first time (like the rathtar sequence) I didn’t mind. This might’ve actually been one of the best experiences I’ve had seeing a film a second time. Third go round is a must at this point. I’ve never seen a film in theaters more than three times but this might be the one to break that.
