[QUOTE="monkey_roo, post: 466123, member: 2414"] Just got back from watching the film and processing away - certainly needs another viewing. My 'off the cuff' thoughts would be. Plot is a bit lacking and contrived - the running out of fuel thing, while practice and built on a solid navy tactic of staying up wind of a pursuing vessel to remain out of range of guns etc. Seems out of place for such a universe, it does set up some good moments in the slow moving chase. As people have said the middle section around the casino it a bit clunky and adds 20mins to the film that we could have done without. That said it introduces a new world and new creatures, and does raise questions around the morality and duplicity or profiteering during war time, which is new for a SW film. Mark Hamill rocks - maybe one quip too many but forgiven for what is his best performance as Luke. Actually I think this is one of the best SW films for performances, people have more to do and there is more depth to the characters than in prior outings. Overall I think it was a good film that will improve on second viewing, certainly worthy of the sort of reviews it is picking up. As for the overall tone and so on, the odd miss-step (the hair comment at the end), but overall it lends itself to better characterisation, so stay with it I say. [/QUOTE]
