Spoiler Alert.
Ok, so I went to the movie with very negative attitude (read the YT reviews and story spoilers) to confirm that Disney destroyed SW.
What is strange that I found out the movie was OK and I enjoyed it. It wasn't great and it did have a few very questionable scenes, but it rather nice build for upcoming trilogy finale.
The good:
- entire opening battle
- New ships: FO Dreadnought, rebel bombers, rebel ships, TIE Silencer
- The scenece where rebel cruiser jump into Supremacy (someone forgot to install a hyperspace intredictor onto that ship
)
- Kylo-Rey "mind conversations"
- Kylo "kill all the past" Ren
- all Rey lightsaber scenes
- fight with the red guard
- visual of salt planet battle (red mist everywhere)
- "Pragmatic" hacker - his every scene and every dialogue is so good! It's like a tribute to every person in history of SW galaxy stuck between sith/jedi, republic/empire conflict - basically giant F*** You! to both sides. I hope he made off the supremacy before it blew up:)
The bad:
- vice admiral Pink - they put her just to die and killed admiral Acbar off-screen? <TRIGERRED>
- Snoke death - so you make this musterious ulimate villan and you kill it like some random thug?
- Phasma death - same as above
- it looks every single "main" death in this episode is bad, but they didn't killed Leia? WTF?
- Rey parents are nobody
- all the galaxy surrendered to FO and ignored resistance call.
- entire resistance reduced to size that fit into Millenium Falcon
- ending scene - so we need to wait for a new generation of rebels to grew up?
The ugly:
- Leia "space superman" scene
- "milking" scene
- Luke death by fade to nothing
- Yoda CGI
- Why Supremacy didn't had hyperspace intredictors build in or as escorts?
- Why Supremacy didn't had any small escort at all ? you decided to chase bunch of mices with road roller.
- why they didn't just launched a swarm of fighters? Supremacy alone would probably had thousands of them.
Rating:
I'd say it 6.5/10
My personal thoughts:
- snoked killed too easy - I hope he "ressurect somehow" - Snoke said that he created Kylo-Rey connection and at the end they still have he connection, so this might indicate that Snoke is still alive.
- Phasma might survive - we didn't see the body, she fall into the sea of flame.
- Rey said that Kylo will turn to light, Kylo say that Rey will turn to dark - what if they both end up grey/ballanced to fight "resurected" Snoke? That would be epic.
- Kylo said that Rey parents are nobody, but he could lie or his vison could be Snokes' lie - still hope that Rey is Palpatine grandauther or reincarnation (would explain how Rey has natural connection to the dark side on Luke's island) - that would also fit nicely that she would "turn to the dark". This would also fit nice with Rey-Kylo pairing where Kylo is Vader descendant while Rey is Palpatine.
