And I think you said it best: my main issue with TFA was that Rey just instantly can use the Force without any practice AT ALL. I will say that I've now seen TFA 3 times and it's grown on me a bit more, despite my issues with Rey and it basically being a rehash storyline.<br /><br />I thought Vader was fairly impressive here but I get your point there too^^ Leia's 'cameo' made me uncomfortable because Carrie Fisher had just passed and it felt wrong. The fact that everyone dies made sense to me since they were all stuck on the same planet but it was still very sad. Oh and YES I adored Chirrut and Baze - at the least I wish they had survived because their characters were brilliant!Michelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220874121683955988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-71557889637086183892016-12-28T04:13:52.267-08:002016-12-28T04:13:52.267-08:00My husband has already saw the movie twice!

I'll probably watch it when it's released on DVD!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11579708407259122426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-30155072288195434162016-12-27T15:14:56.831-08:002016-12-27T15:14:56.831-08:00So sad to hear about Carrie Fischer today.

My husband said he was a little too graceful to be real--so he obviously noticed right away. He also noticed Darth Vader's stride was a bit different from the original actor who played him. I didn't notice. I loved Jyn and her team. And I loved how the movie's ending lead right into First Hope. It adds an intensity to the old movies, I think, knowing that back story and how they got there.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-8023087369098471912016-12-25T12:42:21.458-08:002016-12-25T12:42:21.458-08:00I'm really glad you enjoyed Rogue One!

It wasn't my favorite but I can definitely see why people like it. <br /><br />Yeah that planet was gorgeous, I loved the battle scenes there! <br /><br />I know I'm hopeless but I really hoped for some survivors and was shocked when they all died. I mean, I get it, but still. :( <br /><br />My biggest problem was that Jyn was the only significant female character. That scene where Cassian and the badass soldiers joined her on the trip to retrieve the data? ALL MEN. And yes I know there were a couple of smaller female roles but would it be so hard to have another woman on the inner team? /end rant. Sorry. :D <br /><br />I think I'll need to watch it again and think about it some more.Kajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543527437659550453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-49946386622106141972016-12-23T20:24:31.580-08:002016-12-23T20:24:31.580-08:00I am a casual SW fan.

And I know you won't believe this but I had no idea Tarkin was CGI until after the movie. I didn't think Leia's CGI was great either but I appreciate that they tried. After the movie I went straight home and watched Episode 4 and I felt it was a smooth transition for someone like me who like I said is a casual fan. I totally agree Jyn was a fabulous character. I loved Felicity Jones in The Theory of Everything. Great review!
