I think he did a great job too. I tried my best to go in with expectations low, but I was smiling ear to ear as soon as the intro started lol.
Yeah I saw Solo's death coming too. A little anticlimatic the way it happened. The battle in the woods though! That alone was worth the price of admission. I I really hope they go more into what set this movie up, Luke starting up the Jedi Temple and how Ren destroyed it. I know a lot of people don't care about it, but it was great to see them actually use story lines from the EU. They changed names and adapted them to fit a new vision, but its clear where the Solo/Ren/Rey story line came from. I can't wait to see what they do with Episode VIII.
Couldn't agree more. The lightsaber battle was unreal. Anytime Finn lit that thing up I marked out, and when Rey picked it up....god damnnnnnnnnnnnnnn :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: .
Do you think they are eventually going to set Rey up with a double-sided blade? I think they are going that way, just look at the staff she carried with her throughout this movie.
