[Max Cow Disease]

I really enjoyed it. I didn't dislike TLJ as much as some folks, and thought it brought something a bit unique to the series despite some shoddy execution at times (for example, I thought jaded old Luke was actually a fairly logical and easy-to-intuit direction to take with his character at this stage), but I certainly walked out of the theatre a bit more "satisfied" right off the bat this time. There were some shots at Johnson with this movie (I'd add Luke's "that's not how a Jedi should treat their weapon" comment to the examples already listed in this thread), but like SuperMatt, also think it dovetails a bit better with 8 than people are suggesting. I am looking forward to going back and watching the three sequel trilogy films together again.

There were some really poignant moments in this movie that managed to get the blood flowing pretty effectively. Ben's moment with Han atop the wreckage was fantastic, as was the lightsaber battle. Ian McDiarmid is the on-screen version of John Williams for this series, and continues to seemingly be the do-no-wrong elder statesman of the franchise- he rocked it as Palpatine yet again, and I really dug the sinister mood a lot of the movie had as a result of his character/the environments.
