[QUOTE="SAVORY100, post: 428825, member: 5830"] First reaction is that it was all I'd hoped for. Far better than TFA in pretty much every way. The acting, the cinematography (excepting the Rey scavenging scene on Jaku), action, story all surpassed TFA for me. I really liked the Tarkin and Leia bits. I also thought Tarkin was used a little too much and one of the early shots slipped a little too as he turned. The replication of exact shots from ANH (DS reactor firing sequence and technicians ducking as an example) and the couple of pieces of film that must have been cut and pasted from ANH (Red Leader as an example). I loved all the clever nods to the OT, as mentioned above Walrusman and the Dr, the silver as well as black DSD; a reference to the toys and film perhaps(?) and of course the fleeting Threepio and R2 moment. Vader was ruthless and the Leia moment almost had me in tears! The only things that stops it jumping into the top three for me was the score and the location text boxes. I did think the score was good, very good actually, BUT it missed a beat at least twice that I noticed on first viewing, where it was crying out for the traditional heartwarming SW fanfare or the like. Overall 3.5 is about right, both in episode and ranking in the (now 8!) films, very happy boy! :D [/QUOTE]
