[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 6973215, member: 63"] I loved it. I loved CGI Peter Cushing, because I love original Star Wars and all its flawed special effects. There was KY jelly on the lens to make the speeder float in A New Hope! I'm fine with some uncanny valley if I get to have a sneering Tarkin. Showing the Empire with a bit more detail was satisfying, and oh hell, the weapon test on Jedha was stupendous. I would have cut out the tentacle monster mindreading scene, because it accomplished nothing, and I felt like the Saw Gerrera storyline didn't quite have enough oomph. I suspect there was more flashback in early versions. The action scenes were wonderful. Loved every one of them. I'm quite happy that the trailers did not show that we were going to have an space fleet battle. Like, I was enjoying the 'desperate mission' of the ending, but then we ramped it up to epic stakes. And I'm a sucker for starfighters. That's why I love Return of the Jedi most: [video=youtube;94rlYxLd1Qg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_620998213&feature=iv&src_vid=xPZigWFyK2o&v=94rlYxLd1Qg[/video] My favorite new bit of world-building -- the Death Star relied on khyber crystals to power the super laser. So I can imagine it's actually just one immense light-saber. Now, I didn't need to see the "death sentence in twelve systems" guys, nor R2 and 3P0, but otherwise the fan service was fine. Oh, but they should have changed Vader's neck. It looked too wide. And, honestly, I kinda would have preferred a bit deeper and menacing voice from Vader for the "choke" joke. Then again, Vader was always a little sassy. [/QUOTE]
