Pretty good stuff here, folks. Fans with honest-to-goodness passion for Star Wars do better than professional hacks like Abrams and Johnson.

I'm torn on this one. I saw several people floating it across FB groups. On one hand, it was nice to see the fight take more of a "fight" scene than the original, but then again, when I watch some of it, I'm thinking, does that really need to be so intense? Idk, sometimes I feel like less is more and this might be one of those cases. Hollywood has been pushing "bigger, better, louder, more awesomer" for a long while now in films. Just look at the mess PJ made with The Hobbit.

I think, honestly I would have preferred a longer fight scene but some of the choices made in this one may go too far, specifically, Vader throwing the light saber into the wall above Obi-Wan, that part gave me a knee jerk reaction. Cool post overall, though.
