This opening scene is so good.
I remember sitting in the theater when Finn had his moment of disorientation and thinking “that’s what a panic attack feels like” because it’s such a great way of conveying that off-kilter feeling with the angles and hearing Finn’s breathing.
Also, I know this is bad but I will never find it not funny when Lot San Tekka says “you cannot deny the truth that is you family” and Kylo, sarcastic shit he is saying “you’re so right” before murdering him.
And then Kylo freezing that blaster blot is never not gonna be badass. (And it’s immediate undercut with “who talks first”.)
And of course, I’ll mention it everytime, Kylo and Finn just staring at each other, both knowing Finn didn’t fire and Kylo just walking away.
God I love this scene. So much happens.
It takes Rey what, like 15 minutes into the film to say anything? Do you think she just went days without saying anything to anyone?
Also the subtitles say BB-8 “moans dejectedly” when Rey tells him he can’t stay with her. Poor sad soccer ball.
Poe naming Finn feels kinda significant (esp in light of Han being named “Solo” by an Imperial). It’s interesting to me but I don’t know what to make of it.
I love how both Finn and Rey’s first reaction to seeing someone in distress is “I should help them”.
Also I enjoy the fact that Finn is very obviously lying and not good at it at all.
TIE fighters aim like I do in video games, which is to say “in the general direction of the target and pressing the fire button as fast as possible.”
Finn asks if Rey has a cute boyfriend because he wants to know if Rey’s cute boyfriend has a brother or sister.
