Observation: We're back on Tatooine! I have been missing his outer rim planet that we've been visiting so rarely in recent years!
I quite enjoy how this episode feels like the third act of an unmade Star Wars film - it's dark, depressing and desperate, with the Empire closing in and Ben doing everything in his power to lure them away from their pray.
I'm still loving the mix of Original Trilogy era sets and models and slick visual effects!
Not sure what to think of the entire Luke plot line they crammed into this last episode - they are perhaps leaning a bit too much on fan service now and messing with events established in A New Hope (Owen and Beru are badass, though!).
The lightsaber rematch between Ben and Vader - need I say more? I love how intimate it feels and how the camera shakes along and how the actors put their hearts into every stroke of their sabres. The second round of this duel is probably the most emotional, lightsaber fight we've seen so far.
This one share a common problem with many series finales these days - it's occasionally so darkly lit that it's difficult to see what's going on.
All around great performances, especially from Ewan McGregor, every person bringing Vader alive as well as Joel Edgerton.
Ben's final moments with Vader and their short conversation sent shivers down my spine!
Well, of course they threw in a little cameo from Ian McDiarmid as well! Not to mention the one and only Liam Neeson!
It's nice how there is plenty of time devoted to goodbye and slower emotional moments in the end, as that allows the narrative to tie up any loose ends and provide a good bridge leading to the original movies and any subsequent protects set after this one.
