A list of things that will make you SMILE WITH JOY

I'm lousy at writing reviews, but here's a list of stuff I found cool!

I was happy to see Rey back at the Lars Homestead. I thought it was a bit strange that her and BB8 ended up together. I thought BB8 was Poe's droid, but R2 was in Poe's X-Wing instead. It might have been a nice finish for C-3PO and R2 to return to the Homestead with Rey, where it (originally) began for them.

Chewie didn't get the Falcon. ????? Rey could have taken Luke's X-Wing with BB8 to Tatooine, and left the Falcon with Chewie. It's more his ship than hers..

Thought Connix might have been by Leia's bedside at her death, but it might have been "too much" for her to shoot those scenes. Why Maz though? I guess there was no-one else suitable except for that woman who had also been in GOT.

Rose barely in it. Woohoo. Still an annoying character. Sorry KMT.

Leia is suddenly "Master?" OK. I can handle it. The backstory with young Luke and Leia was excellent, and explains the Mary Poppins scene in TLJ.

Snoke in the cloning tank! Nice!

Wedge as a falcon gunner! Yes!

Hux enjoys a nice meal. Good for him!

Some backstory with Luke and Lando on a mission together. Good stuff!

Poe flying the Falcon like a madman. Love how he came in for that first crazy landing, and then jumped from planet to planet with the Tie's hyperspace tracking.

Naomi Ackie is hot!

Palpatine looks amazing.

The voices of Vader, Snoke, Mace, Qui Gon, Yoda, Anakin, The Obi-Wan(s), Miss Piggy.

Red 5 returns!

ALL THOSE STARSHIPS! But the battle could have been longer and deeper. I still think the space battles in ANH and R1 are unbeatable.

Rey's yellow blade, and the shape. New Rockstars YT vid shows the handle is the same shape as her staff. Their easter egg video is worth a watch.

spotted Nein Numb in the Blockade Runner cockpit, Nice job, hope they made it out
