    Did anyone here posted about Ben’s Jedi lightsaber? If not, it’s the same lightsaber that Kylo is currently using but it was modified.

    Same hilt etc.

    I did notice that, just makes me extra curious how he damaged the hilt and cracked the crystal then.

    Possibly when he was 'bleeding' the crystal. As we saw in Darth Vader comic (the newer one), kyber can defend itself to some extent, both physically and mentally. To bleed it, you have to overpower it. That's the most likely scenario for the crystal. The hilt could have been damaged that way too or during the attack on the temple... or any other way in the six year period.

    Can we take a minute to appreciate that Chewie is piloting the Falcon, not Rey ? Another filmmaker would have easily done the opposite (remember the no medal / hug thing).
    Here the message is clear, Rey may be a Mary-Sue outside, but aboard the Falcon, Chewie is the boss !

    I also really enjoyed Hux's moment when Kylo is unconscious. (he's gonna regret not doing it)

    Still, i have some nitpick : how come Rey learned how to swim on Jakku ?

    No idea. Probably smashed in one of his tantrums - that was my original thought.

    I like the ‘bleeding’ kyber from LadyMusashi tho. Maybe I shoulda check em comic out.

    I think I would nitpick it it were the other way around, that someone that strong with the force would sink. Besides, after three viewings, I wouldn’t call that swimming, she really just splashes about.

    It would though have been really fun it she asked Luke for swimming lessons and he went like. -Don’t look at me, desert planet, same as you.

    I think it was just a metaphor that we get to see in Luke eyes. The twin suns isn't literally there, we're just seeing from Luke perspective as it means Luke is in at peace with his death and what he has in-store in the future. That's at least what I got from it.

    After Finn wakes up and asks "Where's Rey?", we cut to Rey and Luke. After Chewbacca breaks down the door, Luke asks "Where's Han?" and we cut back to the main action.

    After the coin "deposits" were made into BB-8, he rattled while he moved.

    I noticed one of the bombs on Paige's bomber had a WWII 'fighting tiger' mouth painted on it. Only one, but it was really a neat touch.

    Didn't notice that! I hated the scene where BB8 launched the coins (the only humor that fell flat for me, but my wife loved it) but never noticed the rattling. Good catch.

    A couple things stood out to me more upon second viewing:

    - The little exchange between Luke and Leia when they clasp hands on Crait. At first I thought she was reacting to him putting the dice in her hand, but now I think she’s realizing he’s not really there - and he responds with a knowing nod

    - C3P0’s “Master Luke” recognition now sounds more like a question to me, and Luke’s wink in response feels more like a “Shhh... don’t tell anyone I’m not really here”

    - Kylo directly responds to being called “Ben” more than once, unlike Vader’s rejection of the name “Anakin”

    - Rey is filled with absolute disdain against Kylo... until she sees him with his shirt off, then suddenly she’s willing to see the good/conflict in him :confused:

    I loved this. I loved that Chewie got his moment to shine and you could sense he spirit of Han in the cockpit with him. Either the classic OT music, it was a masterful and emotive scene.

    Few things...

    I think Leia recognises Luke is not there when he kisses her forehead. There is just this subtle look she gives him that reveals her realisation. And it’d also make sense in terms of how we aren’t shown her reaction as Luke faces her son.

    Ren saying to Rey about how he knows it isn’t her connecting them as the effort would kill her, is something I missed at first. Nice nod to what happens with Luke.

    When DJ leaves the jail cell after being turned down by Rose and Finn he says an alien insult which I believe was said to Threepio on Bespin by the rude protocol droid. I think.

    Wait... when does Leia face Kylo? (aside from a Force connection)
