This movie was fantastic! Holy crap! I have very, very, very few criticisms. Faaaaar less than I had for TFA, but those were few at first too.

Biggest thing though?

Holy s**t we saw Snoke.

Uhhh you mean Vader in a Bacta tank in his Mustafar castle?

I think some people might be confusing the messed up vader in a bacta tank before he puts his suit on with snoke

No. I mean that imp of a man that knelt before him.

I thought that was just an imperial agent/lacky.. a nod to the imperial secret order in the tie fighter game. Same outfit. Did anyone refer to that character as Snoke? If they did i apologise as i missed that.

He has been named in the visual dictionary, he's Vaders attendant..it's on Reddit

So happy... SO happy.

10/10

Vader doin' Vader things...

People complaining about this not being a kid-friendly film ... well, I am very happy about that!

Really? Vader's butler becomes the evil leader of the neo-empire?

Lame.

EDIT: I suppose it's not as bad as it could be if it's true.

So good. Everything I wanted it to be.

Star Cruiser, crash, crash!

I am taking my kids Saturday am a little disappointed they killed everyone. They are a bunch of ground fighters it just seemed unnecessary. Plus are kids really going to want to go run out and buy the toys if the characters are all dead? There are no more adventures to be had they are all dead.

As a Star Wars fan I really liked the movie as a father of a 7 and 10 year old I was hoping for more of a family movie. But it's not a Star Wars movie it's a Star Wars story.

The sort of person who watches Rebels and enjoys it.

why didn't the ewoks eat her.... she would have been mush more succulent that all those storm troopers and Han Solo

On the topic of the docked Tantive IV: It could be said that the Imperials didn't have time to ID the ship before it made it to hyperspace, and without the Force Vader would have had no proof that Leia was telling the truth to him and that he had waylaid the wrong CR-90. Being that most people don't seem to understand how the Force works in Star Wars, she could have been playing that card rather well all things considered.

Also; God **** but that Vader scene was everything from Star Wars that I have wanted since first seeing it. 11/10, will see in theatres again.

I was talking to a mate about the ending today; and he was saying that they pretty much had to end it with the plans being handed to Leia. Anything less and people would have been asking "So how did the plans get from that ship/Rebel outpost etc. to Leia? And how did Vader know her ship had them?"

Now, granted; they could have demonstrated the Tantive IV getting the plans another way (perhaps swooping down to Scarif during the battle to receive the transmission?) but in the end; it was still a good way to end things.

Plus we got that awesome scene which has to be inspired by the Vader crew card art. Go on, tell me Gareth Edwards and the production crew aren't fans of this game...

Random question:

When Bail Organa and Mon Mothma were talking...just me, or did they switch gender pronouns on the person they were talking about? Wife and I bought caught that, but we heard it switch at different times. DEFINITELY he finished with "I'd trust her with my life" answering Mon Mothma's question if she could be trusted...which seems a somewhat bizarre thing to say if talking about his own adopted daughter, on a ship that had already departed. Wife heard the feminine pronoun used earlier, referring to the 'Jedi in hiding', whereas I was pretty sure he switched after that. IE., talking about Obi-Wan (in hiding) and Leia (who he'd trust to deliver the message)...which makes sense for what we see in the next movie, but makes very little sense in context. Wife's theory is that he was talking about Ahsoka, which in retrospect also seems possible.

Not sure it matters either way, but the gender pronoun switch basically mid-conversation struck us both a bit odd.

Spotted the Ghost at least four times, mostly in the periphery of the space battle. And once parked near one corner of the first wide shot of all the ships at Yavin base. The callout for 'General Syndulla' clinched it for me - that's the Ghost for sure, very cool to see it and other ships from Rebels taking part in that battle.

Loved the movie - it landed firmly at #3 best SW film for me, after Empire and A New Hope. Very well done.

My wife said the same thing - I missed the pronoun, assumed they were talking about Obi-Wan. When she said that she had heard "her" I also thought maybe it was an Ahsoka reference, but are we sure that Bail didn't start talking about Leia in there - as in he would send his daughter and he trusted her with his life? I'll have to pay close attention on next viewing.

The problem with the 'Vader boarding the ship' thing is...it means the ship survived.

Which...seems like a pretty big plot hole created for no reason other than 'allowing a cool scene to happen'. I mean, Vader/Anakin has a demonstrated ability (shared with many other Force users) to read people's minds in interrogation. Particularly non-major-characters.

So you are telling me that this entire ship full of Rebel forces captured alive had never been to Yavin 4? Nor the Admiral of the ship, who we saw at a briefing on Yavin 4 ? Nevermind all the X-Wing, Y-Wing, and U-Wing pilots that had flown to this battle from Yavin 4? All that - flight computers, jump distance calculations, living people to interrogate...ALL basically straight from Yavin 4...and somehow the Empire wasn't able to figure out where the Rebel base was?

Solution was simple - just have the Rebel fleet destroyed more comprehensively. Nobody left alive, all ships destroyed...problem solved.

Multiple jumps made, astromechs destroyed, and no survivors on the boarded ship/resistant to interrogation/giving false information (like Leia saying it was Dantooine).
