*A locked down closing shot (Tradition broken by 7. 8 and 9 better have rotating closing shots too otherwise I’ll be pretty cut)No, actually this “tradition” was broken almost immediately, with Empire closing on the camera pulling back from the Rebel fleet. And while we’re at it, that movie is also the only one to have any significant dialogue in its final scene (Phantom Menace had the Gungan king shout “Peace!” but that’s it). So really, TFA’s ending is still a lot more “standard Star Wars” than Empire’s ending was.
Wow, I just re-watched the ending to ESB and I’m almost ashamed to admit I thought It ended with our heroes looking out the window! 😕 I can see how TFA is a lot more normal that I originally thought!
I still hopeing 8 and 9 have some horizontal movement though, that’s the one element that really sets the TFA ending apart…
