[SPOILER ]Meesa likes the part where Jar Jar slips on a banana peel and causes a twelve tie-fighter pile-up. I LOL'd so hard I had to buy a new pair of jeans.[/SPOILER]
Btw, my favorite part was where Jar Jar crashed the Millennium Falcon.
But can we possibly forget cyborg jabba? That, to me, was just a stroke of genius!!!
Cyber Jabba seemed kinda meh after Legolas rode in on his tonton to rescue ewoks with his infallible Jedi archery.
Saw Star Wars again tonight. Friend's reactions were so fun to watch. She was literally on the edge of her seat for the entire thing. She's a huge Star Wars nerd too, so we were both laughing at all the little in-jokes and references sprinkled throughout. I LOVE the way this new installation feels like classic Star Wars. It's so true to the original trilogy--the aesthetic, the creatures, the effects, the music, everything.
Congrats, Disney, for not screwing up Star Wars.
My new favorite part is Jar Jar taking off his mask for the first time. Such a dramatic reveal! The emotional significance also makes it stand out--up until that point, Rey could effectively separate him from humanity, allowing her to hate what was simply a faceless monster. But when she could see his face, suddenly it became harder to do that. Presented with a face, she couldn't divorce him from his nature as a fellow human being*. She was forced to acknowledge that such a terrible foe could be a person just like her.
*Gungan, but whatever.
